Fails WP:BASIC, WP:ANYBIO, and WP:MUSICBIO. Unable to locate any secondary sources to support notability. One song, "Afrobot", appears to have charted on a Dutch "bubbling under" chart, see [1]. Most of the artists listed in the "remixes" section don't even mention Wiwek. Magnolia677 (talk) 12:19, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - As per WP:ATD, the article should be improved rather than be deleted. By searching for this topic, I have found many reliable sources to establish notability. As per WP:MUSICBIO, one charted single is all it takes to pass the criteria. WP:BASIC and WP:ANYBIO can be resolved with a bit of expansion of the article. - TheMagnificentist (talk) 12:29, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - WP:MUSICBIO specifically states: "meeting any of these criteria does not mean that an article must be kept". Magnolia677 (talk) 12:39, 10 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Charted single and there is coverage passing WP:BASIC.[2] [3][4] --Oakshade (talk) 20:14, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - If these are the best sources you can find to support keeping this article, I would suggest these sources in fact do more to support the article's deletion. WP:BASIC specifically calls for "significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources". Regarding the three sources listed:

• The first source is seven sentences of vacuous text about upcoming singles with almost no biographical content.
• The second source contains about six sentences of biography, followed by a lengthy interview with Wiwek. Interviews are not secondary sources.
• The third source contains four sentences of promotional text about forthcoming singles, with absolutely no biographical content. Magnolia677 (talk) 23:38, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• There is no stipulation in WP:GNG that all coverage must be "biography", it just states "significant." The coverage can be about the person's work, personal life or whatever else. As long as it's more than a "passing mention" of the person, it's acceptable per WP:GNG. --Oakshade (talk) 01:06, 15 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
