Biography of a child with a notable parent. Has been a redirect to the article about the father for a few years, but has now been created as a standalone article.

The boy has performed with his dad a few times, but nothing that would make him meet WP:NMUSIC. There are no independent sources, and no actual claim to notability. bonadea contributions talk 18:00, 24 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Fails per nom and WP:NMUSIC. Nothing about him in reliable sources except his father. M.Ashraf333 (talk) 13:19, 25 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He is a top gamer in the UAE. He has made a cover of a famous song which is quite popular. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Smiley .521 (talk • contribs) 16:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The "top gamer" claim is a statement by his dad in a press release. A gamer can be notable, but only if multiple reliable and independent and secondary sources have written about them in some depth. Have a look at these criteria. As for the song, there was no reliable sourcing for that, either. This is a gossipy source which is considered unreliable by the Indian cinema task force (this is a very handy guide to sources connected to Indian entertainment). --bonadea contributions talk 12:55, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. I don't think the article passes the independent RS with SIGCOV test. BLPs need to strictly follow notability and sourcing guidelines. // Timothy :: talk 05:38, 2 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Sonu Nigam. Doesn't seem to be notable, and redirecting is an WP:ATD. — {{ping|ClydeFranklin}} (t/c) 18:10, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Well, as I said in the nomination statement, it has been a redirect for several years. Since an editor chose to edit war against me and another editor to remove that redirect (edit history), and since the boy is not mentioned in any independent sources, it made sense to me to bring the article to AfD. "Redirect" is of course a perfectly valid outcome of an AfD discussion, and if that is the outcome I'll request page protection to avoid more edit warring. --bonadea contributions talk 18:33, 3 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
