Fails WP:NMUSIC. No significant coverage of this musician. The article makes the claim that this person's songwriting "gained international recognition" but there is nothing to support this claim. Fancy Refrigerator (talk) 13:06, 30 July 2025 (UTC)

- Delete: Coverage is all in a local newspaper [1], plus the two sources from Guelph in the article. I don't see the person having met any of hte musical notability standards we look for... No charted singles, the awards are non-notable, no major releases on record labels. Being an opening act for someone else isn't notable. Oaktree b (talk) 15:22, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
- Comment: Items written by RH staff -rollinghype.com/aussie-canadian-talent-optikz-prepares-to-drop-champion-and-change-the-game-with-new-ep/, or this which is on the spam list -hiphopexclusives.com/optikz-the-australian-canadian-lyricist-redefining-resilience-with-champion-and-upcoming-ep/ , so you can't post the link in Wikipedia. Was preparing to "drop" his album in April, with literally no coverage since. Still nothing to show musical notability. Oaktree b (talk) 15:26, 30 July 2025 (UTC)
