Non notable musician who doesn’t satisfy WP:MUSICBIO & does not have in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them hence doesn’t satisfy WP:GNG. A WP:BEFORE shows no evidence of notability. Celestina007 ( talk) 07:04, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete a non-notable musician. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 12:52, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
- Keep: I only found sources about him in Zambia Daily Mail: [1], [2], [3], [4] and [5]. With these reliable sources, I believe the article is good enough to pass WP:BASIC. My vote stands. ASTIG😎 ( ICE T • ICE CUBE) 06:09, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete, per WP:GNG multiple sources from the same publication are generally read as a single source for the purpose of supporting a claim to notability. While I don't question the reliability of the sources mentioned above, it's not enough to retain an article. ♠ PMC♠ (talk) 02:25, 1 June 2020 (UTC)
- Is there a consistent way that Zambian music articles have notability assessed? As far as I know there isn't a national chart, but I see that there are other Zambian publications ( [6] [7]) that mention him as if he's a well-known figure. I don't know much about Zambian music in general, but in countries without a reputable chart (especially non-white countries) we run the risk of deleting articles on people who would be as relatively notable as many other articles we have.
- The article in its current state is pretty bad though, so I'd say it's a delete in its current state (but if a well sourced article can be created, it should be kept in the future). -- Prosperosity ( talk) 11:10, 2 June 2020 (UTC)
