Keep he is signed to major record labels and touring around Europe. Some key relevant recent actions that prove his notability:

- this year he headlined shows in Brazil, Greece, Spain and Portugal;

- he signed on Buddha Bar (world's no 1 compilation);

- his track Devran is on the official soundtrack of the new LGBT blockbuster 'Fire Island' (from Hulu);

- there's over 30.000 people listening to his music on Spotify alone;

I'm not affiliated with him, but have been following his project since 2019 and he's one of the top artists in the Portuguese electronic music scene! João P Afonso (talk) 10:25, 8 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment – João P Afonso is the article's creator and essentially sole maintainer. The tone the article is written in (e.g.: "In 2022, new conquers take him further") makes it clear that, even if they aren't affiliated with the subject, they're a very big fan of the artist to an extent that separating peacockery from encyclopedic relevance proves difficult.

• Delete – Fails all of the relevant notability guidelines, a fact which is obfuscated by the WP:REFBOMBing in the article. TheTechnician27 (Talk page) 12:44, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete A few hits in GNews, mostly in TimeOut Lisboa, I guess confirming he exists. He's a minor player on the music scene. Oaktree b (talk) 14:45, 13 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]
