repeatedly created and rejected in draft space then in mainspace following the win on reality competition "people stuck in a house" Bigg Boss 16. No other notability besides that win, so does not meet WP:ENT (requires multiple lead roles in shows/films) or WP:MUSICBIO (notable albums and songs). Recommend redirect to Bigg Boss 16.

Comment He does seem to be an established rapper. Despite WP:Bignumber he has 3,834,626 monthly listeners on Spotify. As far as I could tell the two albums are streaming only, not CD or vinyl, and self-released rather than on a major label. There's coverage in Rolling Stone India and GQ, but it is of questionable independence given the rapper's contribution to those pieces. I think this may be a borderline case.

~~Keep~~ - I'm usually sceptical of articles about reality TV stars, but there does seem to be a decent amount of coverage in reliable secondary sources ([1], [2], [3], [4], [5], [6]) which would be sufficient for WP:GNG. WJ94 (talk) 16:12, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect - Having looked back at WP:NMUSIC, and specifically WP:REALITYSINGER, I'm not seeing any coverage that indicates notability outside the show. WJ94 (talk) 17:38, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Leaning towards redirect to Bigg Boss (Hindi season 16) based on them not appearing to meet WP:MUSICBIO. Seems to be a lack of WP:SIGCOV outside of their participation on the show. Hey man im josh (talk) 16:29, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect as suggested seems ok. The person doesn't seem notable outside of the show itself. Oaktree b (talk) 16:56, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
CU note For context, I blocked the article's original author Misterrrrr earlier today. They're the sock of a blocked user, and part of a UPE ring. Girth Summit _(blether) 17:00, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Girth Summit, thanks, if this results in redirect, recommend salting the mainspace one. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 17:47, 15 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect to TV show season per above. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:56, 16 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect, per above. There's not much more to say than what's already been said here. Also protect the redirect for a while. Mako001 (C) (T) 🇺🇦 09:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect Due to WP:BIO1E. MrsSnoozyTurtle 12:04, 18 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep I found this BBC piece, which is significant coverage and mainly talks about his life before entering the Big Boss house. Billboard indicates he has had a song in the charts for five weeks which would seem to meet criteria #2 of WP:NMUSIC, so I don't think this is as cut-and-dried as it might first seem. 07:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Curb Safe Charmer (talk • contribs) 07:09, 19 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Billboard India Songs isn't listed in WP:BILLBOARDCHARTS or Billboard charts, so this is a very recent listing (chart started in 2022). AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 02:38, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The BBC piece fits the WP:BLP1E for his win on the show as well as the other 10+ mainstream news articles. AngusW🐶🐶F (bark • sniff) 16:04, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There are three tests for WP:BLP1E to apply -
do RSes cover the person only in the context of a single event? No, there are reliable sources covering his career as a rapper before his involvement in BB.

Is he likely to remain a low-profile individual? I don't have a crystal ball but I would say incredibly unlikely. It is likely to boost his career as a rapper as no doubt reflected in his Spotify following and current Billboard chart listing for his latest song.

Is the event significant, and was the individual's role substantial and well documented? Clearly so.
None of the three tests apply, so BLP1E doesn't apply here. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:35, 20 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
