Comment: Heatrave, you did good work here, but Niphkeys currently does not pass WP:GNG or WP:NMUSICIAN, it would be a waste of time for now as it might be taken to AfD if accepted and eventually deleted. He may pass NMUSICIAN if he receives SIGCOV in the future. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 09:09, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
