Ref bombed promotional spam. Non notable organistion/contest. If there is any notability hidden I suggest TNT as this is so far from appropriate for an encyclopedia it's almost funny. Article is bombarded with primary, press releases, facebook, PR and non mentions. The unrelated "history" section does have some RSs but they provide no coverage of this online contest. duffbeerforme ( talk) 01:04, 14 September 2020 (UTC)

- Keep. I am the page creator, though I haven't actually done much, a few other people have done all the work on the page. I agree that there are way too many references, and they should definitely be cleaned up, but the contest is definitely notable. It's a Eurovision-counterpart, with the winner of AfriMusic even performing at the Eurovision pre-shows. AfriMusic is indeed online at the moment, as far as I know, but that doesn't make it less notable. The page is written well. It doesn't, in my opinion, seem promotional at all. Not any more than pages for similar contests anyway. Several pages link to it, and it has a fair amount of monthly visitors. No reason to delete it, in my opinion.

- Keep. It is true that the sourcing could be better, but the competition has still been covered by specific articles in Deutsche Welle ( 1) and potentially Daily News (Harare) ( rotted) and some other newspapers which appear to be WP:RS. As such, I don't think it can be argued WP:GNG isn't met? The fact that its 2020 version is online is not relevant. — Brigade Piron ( talk) 15:59, 2 October 2020 (UTC)
