  • Comment: The sources are just release plugs and publicity materials regurgitations, and fall well short of WP:GNG. Meanwhile, one EP and a handful of singles under their belt, with nothing by way of certifications or chart performance etc., there is no evidence of WP:MUSICBIO notability either. With four earlier declines already, I should probably be rejecting this now, but let's give it one more try. DoubleGrazing (talk) 12:23, 2 September 2024 (UTC)

    Also, see WP:BLP. All statements, starting with the date of birth, need to be sourced or removed. Greenman (talk) 09:46, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
  • Comment: The one source added since the previous review provides trivial coverage, not enough to establish notability. ARandomName123 (talk)Ping me! 21:11, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
