This article needs to be assessed properly per the discussion also going on at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Galactic Theme. First of all, it is shocking as seeing who accepted the article is now a block user of a sock. While going further on the article talk page I see that who created the article already admitted that he or she was paid and it’s also a sock to who accepted the article. That means they all planned to promote the artist here on Wikipedia with some sort of promotional news on blogs about the artist and his music. Also be aware that this article has never been nominated for AFD. It was the draft that was nominated which was supposed to be a keep. Gabriel (……?) 23:36, 14 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete:: As per nom. In addition, majority of the references do not meet the requirements for reliability. I can only spot a few reliable sources. Mevoelo (talk) 14:27, 15 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Just noting that this article was previously the subject of a deletion discussion at Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/Draft:Johnel. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 05:28, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete for the reasons stated by the nominator and the issues discovered by the participants at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Galactic Theme. The article is clearly a promotional attempt that uses other promotions as support. The whole operation is enthusiastic but unreliable, and the singer does not meet WP's notability requirements. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:42, 16 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
