After observing it flagged for notability concerns I performed a before search which shows this musician lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him to warrant a standalone at the moment. Furthermore this article is borderline G11 eligible. Celestina007 (talk) 19:37, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep Omar Brito de Jesús, known as El Polimata, is a singer from the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic. Find articles and information about this person and comply with the policies of staying on wikipedia. (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Elmenormcrd (talkcontribs)
  • Follow-up comment After !voting "delete" above, I noticed a large number of source being added to the article. I just reviewed a number of them and discovered that eight or nine of them are really three articles reprinted in multiple locations, one of them in four or five places. As most of the appearances of these have the by-line "Admin" or "The Editors", it gives the impression of being PR material that was passed around. So I've chosen not to change my !vote above.

@Largoplazo, thanks for the pertinent observations in the article. You’d also notice that this AFD itself has some rather bizarre activities by IPs. Celestina007 (talk) 09:56, 11 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
