Promotion for non notable individual. Business lacks significant coverage in independent reliable sources. Article has two parts. 1. Hacker. Troia occasionly quoted in local media on IT security. That does not make someone notable. Such commenting does not come with any depth of coverage about him. 2. Musician. Not notable. Released lack reviews, national charting, sales or awards. Created by a mix of accounts directly connected to the business and by a now blocked spammer. Complete with a faked quote and failed verification. duffbeerforme (talk) 03:37, 1 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - Whilst he seems to meet criterion 2 of WP:MUSICBIO, this is one of those situations where I believe the phrase ...may be notable... at the top of the policy is relevant. He does not appear to meet any of the other criteria of WP:MUSICBIO, certainly does not meet WP:GNG, and has only 56 results on a Google search; none of which proves notability. --Jack Frost (talk) 22:47, 7 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete I agree his collaboration with another artist that resulted in a few lower-rung appearances on a Billboards dance chart is not enough to compensate for the otherwise weakness of notability. The article seems promotional, and the fact that a fake quote was outted and that the article's creation was the work of a since-blocked spammer associated with the subject's business (as pointed out by the nominator) reveals a bad-faith abuse of wikipedia.
