Article about a musician that does not meet WP:NMUSICIAN, regular PR/PUFF pieces that we may say are pay to play. No WP:SIGCOV, sources are also mostly passing mentions. Jamiebuba ( talk) 19:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Bands and musicians, and Nigeria. Jamiebuba ( talk) 19:30, 21 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: Subject is clearly notable and has been nominated for several notable African Music Awards. There are also lots of references about the subject, showing that he clearly meets the WP:N and WP:NMUSICIAN. Be kindly referred to WP:BAND

- Comment: I am only talking part in this discussion to deprecate the use of an accusation of bias against the nominator. It is not appropriate in this forum. Concerns about motivation should be addressed first with the editor concerned. 🇺🇦

- Many thanks for sharing your concerns. However, I have noticed that this editor places tags on several profiles without proper checks and research especially as regards notability. If a subject is not notable in your region, it is important to do well to double-check before moving the works of other editors to draft especially when all requirements as per Wikipedia editorial policies have been met. Also, it was not an accusation — I only stated that there is a high possibility of such happening which I have observed longitudinally. There are several Nigerian/African notable awards and reliable primary/secondary sources to show notability (internationally and nationally). My apologies as well. I will do well to take this correction and avoid it in the future. Cheers! Mevoelo ( talk) 08:10, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Mevoelo, just for the future, on Wikipedia, rather than remove content that one regrets writing, it is preferable to strike it out using <s>Remark</s>. Otherwise, it's hard to make sense of Timtrent's comment. It's all in the page history, of course, but it's better to be transparent rather than pretending comments weren't made. Please do this if this situation comes up in the future. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:49, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I wanted to cast a keep but then, I went through the sources and found out that the reliable sources were most actually interviews alone. The others, unreliable gossip blogs. If he wins The Headies then we might consider an SNG. Best, Reading Beans ( talk) 02:45, 31 August 2023 (UTC)
- Keep - Well referenced and Notably satisfies WP:Basic as well as WP:NMUSICIAN. Has also been nominated for several notable awards in Nigeria which also establishes notability. Onosco23 ( talk) 01:34, 1 September 2023 (UTC)
