The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's
talk page or in a
deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
The subject of this article fails
WP:GNG and
WP:MUSICBIO. Being signed to a major record label in his native country doesn't equate to notability. The subject has not received significant coverage in reliable sources to warrant stand-alone inclusion. The music chart cited in the article isn't a reliable chart. Winning a low-level award at The Headies isn't enough to justify a separate article.

Comment Two points: 1) You responded within 40 minutes of my !vote and yet you make the absolute statement that "none of the [548] webpages in the news link". So you looked at them all? Assuming that you actually saw my !vote immediately after I hits save, that would mean you reviewed about 14 pages a minute. That's impressive. Now, I assume you could be using hyperbole, or you actually checked them all
WP:BEFORE you nominated the article. OK. 2) It's is easy to refute with a single case:
http://pulse.ng/buzz/dice-ailes-will-be-a-star-with-miracle-id6033688.html, but there were at least two others that were not fan fawning. My decision to claim it should be kept remains unchanged based on the sheer volume of stories.

Comment. To reiterate, the sources in the link do not discuss the subject or his musical releases in detail. Majority of them are mere announcements of his releases. Can you create stand-alone articles about each of those singles in the news link? The answer to that question is no. Stop making assumptions about what I reviewed or didn't review.

Comment Just a thought: I'm not weighing in on the keep-vs.-delete question. But if the consensus is Delete, how about merging/redirecting it to
Chocolate City Music - the name of his label - instead? Assuming that connection is verified, of course. --

Speedy keep I don't think you read this article or made research. I want to point out 2 fact that make's an article notable on Wikipedia. 1.) You said it's fail's
WP:MUSICBIO, but you so wrong, the article meets criteria 1, 8:
The Headies[1], 10:
Felabration[2], 11:How do you check song's which has been placed on rotation on Major radio?, The answer is by checking the radio's official webpage or "PlayData Chart" because that chart is been put together by major radio stations in
Lagos only and it's based on rotation.[3] and 12[4]. 2.) You said it's fail's
WP:GNG, but you also wrong. You might have seen for yourself now it's also pass
WP:GNG. I got nothing more to contribute to this, it's clear it meet's
WP:MUSICBIO and
WP:GNG.--

Comment The article is notable enough to stand on it's on, as it's said on the article "This article about a Nigerian singer is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it" not redirecting or deleting. The first nomination made by
you in 2016, was clear the article was a case of
WP:TOOSOON not now the article meet's it's criteria's.--

Oluwa2Chainz Now i understand the reason's why you guy's keep nominating my articles for deletion, it's because you always see them as not being relevant, Wikipedia has a law which should be followed. Before i write any article's, I always make sure they meet's it's criteria. You said i have a history, what history
Jay Pizzle &
Fliptyce got nominated for deletion, just two article make's up a history. Point of correction my subject is always notable to stand alone, they only get nominated for deletion because editor choose not to follow
WP:MUSICBIO and also like to find forth in my article. Wikipedia never said you need over a 100 or 50 reliable sources to make up a stand alone article, they only said on
WP:MUSICBIO "may be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria" in my case all the article i have written meet's more that one criteria of
WP:MUSICBIO and also meet's
WP:GNG expect for
Jay Pizzle and

@
Obari2Kay: There is nothing significant about the references you mentioned above. The OkayAfrica source briefly talks about his song "Yemisi", not about him. The Nigerian Tribune source is a brief press about his so-called "versatility". The 360nobs source briefly talks about his song "Telephone". None of the sources you cited discusses the subject in detail. As a matter of fact, none of his singles have been discussed in detail. He is still an up-and-coming artist and do not deserve to have a separate article just yet. He only has one hit song to his name. Mayorkun is a bigger artist than Dice Ailes, yet he doesn't have a separate article. You should keep in mind that he was awarded Rookie of The Year over Dice Ailes.

[7][8] why this is a brief discussion

[10]. You also said "None of the sources I cited discusses the subject in detail", the interview with

Obari2Kay: The songs above fail
WP:NSONG and has not been discussed in detail. Can you create separate articles about those songs? The answer is no. None of the songs above received full-length reviews, nor did they chart on any country's official music chart. Moreover, they did not receive any notable accolades. The Tush Magazine source is considered
WP:PRIMARY because it is not independent of the subject. FYI, primary sources cannot be used to establish the notability of a subject.
Versace1608Wanna Talk?21:29, 10 May 2017 (UTC)reply
The fact still remains the same, he is notable to stand alone. Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio known as
The Beat 99.9 FM[12] and TV network known as
Soundcity TV[13]. You may keep trying to change the fact it's meet
WP:GNG but that doesn't change my vote as Speedy Keep, here is a debate you contributed to
Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ruby Gyang on that debate you included this link as
WP:GNG[14] and yet you classify
Tush Magazine as
WP:PRIMARY because you feel it's not independent of the subject. As it was said earlier the subject has a lot of third-party source please note that. Also songs released in "OCTOBER" don't get nominated for an award in that same year, just like you said "The songs above fail
WP:NSONG" yes it does but the subject in person passes
WP:GNG and
WP:MUSICBIO, but i can bet on it
The Headies 2017 and
2017 Nigeria Entertainment Awards that single "Miracle" would get nominated only then i would be able to write an article for the song and also "Miracle" was reviewed
[15] but it can't still hold the article together as a stand alone for this article
Miracle (Dice Ailes song).--

Comment: we are now seeing keep !votes from editors with no other edits on en-WP than creating promotional articles about non-notable Nigerian bloggers, rappers etc, and !voting keep when articles of that kind created by others are nominated for deletion. Making me believe that we're seeing a group of people engaging in paid editing. - Tom |

Delete as non-notable per nom, suggest discounting "votes" from accounts with minimal non-promotional edits, per the comment above. It has also been suggested, on other RfDs that
MKJ6006 is a sockpuppet.
