This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: Sources are mostly interviews/his comments and some are blogs or sponsored posts so not reliable. S0091 (talk) 15:43, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: Not clear how they pass WP:NMUSICIAN? Theroadislong (talk) 09:30, 29 July 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: "album, entitled VI.[2][18] [19][20][21][22]" is a prime example of WP:CITEKILL. Instead we need one excellent reference per fact asserted. If you are sure it is beneficial, two, and at an absolute maximum, three. Three is not a target, it's a limit. Aim for one. A fact you assert, once verified in a reliable source, is verified. More is gilding the lily. Please choose the very best in each case of multiple referencing for a single point and either drop or repurpose the remainder. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 22:21, 28 July 2024 (UTC)
