- Comment It appears that this AfD was accidentally listed twice for some reason. I'm not sure what that would do to voting etc, but I thought id let you know just in case you want to delete the duplicate listing. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 06:31, 26 May 2020 (UTC)

- Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. A Google search of him doesn't show in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. The awards he is a recipient of are not notable. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 13:53, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
- CommentThanks for all the moderators,editors for their suggestion on improving the article but l would like to state that ,the Awards mentioned in the above Page are very valid and widely recognized in that part of Africa.Let me ask [[User Talk:Versace1608|,is it because the Awards are not Grammy level or MTV level that the Awards should be degraded?Don't Africans get to have their own Awards? with all due respect ,Who are you to term something as notable or not? How comes this artist https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_Gadam page has literally has been accepted in Wikipedia while having clearly included the awards from the same organisation
, as the person am writing about, yet when l include them and links to support the awards from the same organization as his, it's an issue ?l made changes even removed the "community section" as suggested by User talk:David. I included even more secondary links as you people term it. What is really the criteria for determining which links are secondary while l went and used the links collected from widespread different and many independent platforms.Please don't discriminate my page just because l am an African and we all know everyone has to start from somewhere so not all of us can have MTV,GRAMMY,COLOMBIA MUSIC,SONY MUSIC type of sources, thank you.

- @ Ramsey555: First and foremost, there is no discrimination going on here. There are a significant number of Ghanaian and other African musicians with Wikipedia articles. If discrimination was rampant, do you really think these artists will have Wikipedia pages? Please keep in mind that every article on Wikipedia can get nominated for deletion if the nominator (the editor who decides to nominate it) feels it doesn't meet our notability reqirements. After an article gets nominated for deletion, it is up to the community to decide its fate. The Northern Ghana Entertainment Awards does not appear to be notable; I did a Google search and did not see the awards being discussed in reliable sources. I am an African myself and we do have numerous awards; unfortunately, this particular one isn't notable. Fancy Gadam appears to be notable because unlike like NazzKing, he has actually won and been nominated for two notable awards: Vodafone Ghana Music Awards and All Africa Music Awards. I recently nominated the Fancy Gadam article for deletion but the community reached a consensus to keep it. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 01:20, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Delete per WP:TOOSOON. Awards are local, and not enough to determine notability. Become famous first, then write a Wikipedia article, not the other way round. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 08:04, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Commentthen why is it we have people whose pages have been accepted in Wikipedia yet they have received the same Organization that gives the awards??l have even linked above( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fancy_Gadam ) a Wikipedia profile that has accepted in this platform,yet they have awards from the same source as the subject being written about, biases maybe??

- @ Ramsey555: Fancy Gadam has a Wikipedia page because he appears to meet some criterion outlined in WP:MUSICBIO, not because he is a recipient of the same awards NazzKing received. Versace1608 Wanna Talk? 13:59, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
- Comment::@ Versace1608: please help me and tell me exactly what needs to be done for NazzKing page to meet those guidelines?As you can see am putting a lot of effort to improve the article Ramsey555 ( talk)
