Draft:SMILEZ

  • Comment: Vaguely waving towards sources existing isn't sufficient. The sources don't need to be online, but we need something at least, not just coverage of "Outside" release and Irish drill movement. Their Spotify would also not be an independent source, so wouldn't be useful for establishing notability. 45dogs (they/them) (talk page) (contributions) 01:40, 23 February 2026 (UTC)
