Delete: One of the sources is a
WP:CIRCULAR, the others are just Apple Music links. No independent articles cited.

Delete. Per above. Additionally, a
wp:before search using "Willie Foster" return a few unrelated result. Using "Will Major" returns a lot of results unrelated to this person. Checking the history of the page, the page is created by
Willmajor1 (
talk·contribs), which is a clear
wp:COI editing. ~

Keep passes
WP:NGRIDIRON and I see no reason to make an exception. Moving to another article name may be the right choice but I have no opinion on that at this time.--

Keep and move, per Eagles247. Meets
WP:NGRIDIRON #1. Self-promotional material within the article can be removed at editorial discretion.

Delete and/or recreate as
Willie Foster (American football) If it meets
WP:NGRIDIRON criteria, well enough. I won't comment on that as I have no insight. However, the lede identifying his accomplishment in the field of music needs deleted entirely. Fails completely under music notability. This is a vanity page by the subject to promote his aspiring music career.

@
ShelbyMarion: I've rewrote the lead to reflect what he's most notable for. Do you still think the article needs to be deleted only to be recreated under the more appropriate title? Eagles24/7(C) 03:17, 4 March 2021 (UTC)reply
I'd say whatever it takes to fix it to keep this subject on wikipedia as a football player. If merely rewriting, or moving, or recreate, or whatever the proper terminology is, that's fine. He is not a notable person in music and given the fact there is zero RS references I don't see the need for any acknowledgment of it at all, any more than an article on Tom Brady needs to reference that he likes to play golf in his spare time. The edit history log suggests he created his own page to promote his music. So, yeah, the title needs to change from his rapper name to his football name. And if acknowledgment of his music is necessary at all it is not important enough to be in the lede. In fact, I suppose simply deleting the "discography" section and replacing it with a "personal life", using the exact wording you put in the lede, would fix everything. JMO.
