Reason: Non-notable. Participated at Eurovision and gained a bad position, the lowest one his country has gained. Also features Hungarian names in their original order rather than Western name order. Plus, no infobox, which usually supports lack of notability. His page was created over 6 YEARS after his song's page, with the song page being created in 2006 and Charlie's page created in 2013. Everything about this screams bad Uncyclopedia reject. --SteveBrownIreland (talk) 10:09, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - It has already been established several times that participating in ESC is notable within WP:NMUSIC #10 and #12. And also per WP:GNG. That his article needs expansion and improvements are not a reason for deletion so that rationale is mute.--BabbaQ (talk) 10:18, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - looking at his Hungarian article, he has had multiple top 10 albums, including two certified as platinum! It also looks like he has a biography written about him, which indicates some level of notability at least. Competing in Eurovision (regardless of where he finished, which is irrelevant) is also a claim to notability. The name order issue is an easy fix and does not require deletion. Having no infobox is no reason to delete the article nor is the fact that the biography for the singer came after the article for the song.

• Keep He is famous here in Hungary (that is not a reason, I know). I may not like him (that's not a reason either, I know that too), but he is notable, and I agree with BabbaQ and Spiderone. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 12:15, 28 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as passes criteria 2 of WP:NMUSIC with charting albums on the Hungarian national chart as well as the Eurovision participation so he deserves to be included, in my view Atlantic306 (talk) 01:02, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep I find it somewhat comical that this is even a discussion. For goodness sake, Charlie is a high-charting artist in Hungary! The fact that someone would nominate his page for deletion because he is not notable in the United States screams American ignorance. Jonathan170 (talk) 00:56, 6 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
