Non-notable rapper who doesn't appear to have ever charted; and the articles a single non-notable award that he has apparently won. It also doesn't help that the article is written like a press release. (I didn't notify the article creator because it appears that s/he just came in, created the article and left.)

As a songwriter he has co-written other material performed by Justice Crew. Furthermore, Miracle's Mainland peaked at No. 15 on the ARIA Urban Albums Chart and No. 5 on their Hitseekers Albums chart in July 2014 (see [https://pandora.nla.gov.au/pan/23790/20140730-1137/ARIAIssue1274.pdf ARIA Report 1274]). By June 2017 the artist was performing and recording as Blessed (see [http://ventsmagazine.com/2017/06/02/blessed-debut-ep-love-letters-today-friday-june-2-features-new-single-fairytale/ here]) and has same birth details as Miracle.shaidar cuebiyar (talk) 11:40, 30 November 2018 (UTC)

• Keep per the sources provided above - a mix of both reviews and charting justifications. It should be noted that while Miracle may just remain the most suitable primary name, it may at some stage make sense to shift to his name if he is going to have different stage names "Blessed".

• Weak Keep Few of the sources which are provided in article looks like press release and few are not working but his engagement with Sony Music claims he is notable somehow. Azkord (talk) 17:32, 13 December 2018 (UTC)
