This article was deleted via PROD, then contested at WP:RFUD. It was soft deleted at AfD due to a lack of quorum and has been reinstated at RFUD again. This article is promotional enough that one could have made a WP:CSD#G11 nomination (the article's creator likely has a WP:COI). The sourcing is not compliant, and this is after I have done WP:BEFORE and another user tried to improve the article prior to the soft deletion. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:40, 3 June 2022 (UTC)

• Delete Certainly been a colourful time, but the article is indeed promotional and its subject doesn't pass WP:GNG or WP:SINGER, IMHO. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:14, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
• Delete - The musician has been around for a long time and seems to have made a living as a jack-of-all-media-trades under many different names. But the reliable media seems not to have noticed, as I can only find passing mentions of this person in the background of articles about other people, and their own press releases and streaming service entries. The article serves as an advertisement and personal biography, neither of which is appropriate for Wikipedia. No matter how much someone argues about the musician's lengthy career and self-promotional endeavors, the necessary sources just aren't out there. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 12:41, 3 June 2022 (UTC)
• Delete. The changes made to the article since I originally PRODded it do not satisfy my concerns. Chosen Effect seems like an interesting person, and perhaps someday some reliable sources will take note of her story and write about it, but until then, we should not have an article on her. -- Tamzin^{[cetacean needed]} (she/they) 04:00, 5 June 2022 (UTC)

Keep - I have been doing much research on this artist and they had huge success in Japan in the 1990's in particular. I have been able to find multiple verifiable music releases which citations have been created for. This artist has multiple music releases that were released under major record labels in Japan which are all verifiable as barcodes and other record Label associated codes exist and are part of the publishing process of musical works. If this is article is considered promotional and or an advertisement then the same could be said just about every other article on Wikipedia depending on how one chooses to perceive such things. The moment any persons name is mentioned, their accomplishments and or occupations past or present can all be seen as a form of promotion or advertising which is particularly true when it comes to entertainers. If you feel this article sounds promotional then why not help to improve it so that it does not. LiterateFactChecker (talk) 19:48, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
