Ref bombed articles on a musician who doesn’t satisfy any criterion from
WP:MUSICBIO & generally lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them thus do not satisfy
WP:GNG also. A before search links me to user generated unreliable sources such as
this,
this,
this,
this &
this all of which are very much unreliable. Celestina007 (

Voting Keep - Nanky is a popular name in Ghana, his former group UG360 is known very well in Tema for their viral song Denkin. Per my little research, his videos Happiness and Innocent Girl shows a good number of views on Youtube with more than 1 million streams. His debut EP also passed a million plus views.
WP:GNG here is satisfied and references are good. --

Jibodi, fame & popularity are words erroneously used interchangeably with notability, but I’m sorry to say, on this collaborative project, fame & popularity aren’t considered to be one and the same with
notability which has precise parameters on
determining it. Celestina007 (

Celestina007, If you are saying
3Music Awards is not a notable awards scheme, why does it have an article sitting comfortable here on Wikipedia? I believe you should put it up for deletion first before we talk about about deleting a nominee. For Christ sake
3Music Awards is very notable in Ghana.

@
DoubleGrazing no sign of notability?? Going through the references, I spotted the entity is a nominee of a major Ghanaian award scheme
3Music Awards and a winner of Global Africa Music Awards. My little off Wikipedia search also confirm his song Favour with Sarkodie was topping charts in Ghana and made iTunes top 100 songs in Ghana. Also he is signed unto a major record label in Ghana Sultan Incorporation together with
Fancy Gadam. All references are credible and you could see clearly they where not paid for. In Ghana where the media is now getting use to the modern system of putting contents online instead of the traditional newspaper of which the entity has several, I believe he is notable enough as he passes

Jibodi, logging out & making a comment constitutes
WP:GAME, you are more than welcome to provide reliable sources that prove the subject of the article is notable. MUSICBIO specifically states only major music awards are to be considered of which the 3Music Awards definitely isn’t. Celestina007 (
