YNW BSlime's Notability edit
Before creating the article I saw that the article previously went to AfD where the decision was delete. A lot of the sources in this version of the article were available before the deletion so in order to avoid a potential CSD G4, I have created below a source table using the best sources available to hold as evidence of his passing of WP:GNG :

There also exists numerous pieces in other reliable publications such as HotNewHipHop. A point I saw being made in the previous AfD was that the reliable coverage existed as a result of YNW BSlime being YNW Melly's younger brother, a case of WP:INHERIT. Although this might have been the case in the beginning with XXL and HotNewHipHop calling him "YNW Melly's younger brother", a change in the approach can be observed in the past years with magazines starting to simply address him as YNW BSlime, implying that there is independent notability. He is not getting coverage for being YNW Melly's brother, he is getting coverage because he's making music of his own. How many famous musicians came to fame due to famous relative, should we delete their article? Célestin Denis (talk) 16:31, 6 December 2022 (UTC)
