 * Delete - I moved the article to Draft when it clearly had insufficient sources to meet the criteria for notability. The article creator and principle editor moved it back to mainspace without review and without significantly improving the sourcing. Association with other acts is irrelevant per WP:NOTINHERITED. I see no significant improvement since I moved it to Draft. Fails WP:GNG.  Velella  Velella Talk 17:36, 4 March 2023 (UTC)
 * With all due respect, yes I did move it back to the main space after working on the said article for months and improving the source. I looked for sources before re-editing and moving back to the main space. and rather did I say —Association with other acts is relevant. I only mentioned that because of some search results, I pulled up from google search. Blocked sock. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 23:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment @Epcc12345You are aware that just because a magazine writes a PR article for one story doesn't mean they do it for all of them. t. Half of these sources" are unreliable?
 * I'll admit and that I've never heard of glam squad magazine reason i didnt include that in my article, but those sources make up a very small portion of the ones I listed. You are clearly aware that the majority of my sources weren't "republished press releases." Pls explain to me how this looks like a PR Work ?  @Epcc12345

 * Delete. The subject fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:JOURNALIST. Founding a non-notable blog, releasing three non-notable singles, and getting arrested by the EFCC (due to his affliation with Zlatan and Naira Marley) are not enough to warrant a stand-alone article. The subject doesn't have a music career to speak of, and being Zlatan's personal blogger isn't going to make him notable.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 23:39, 9 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Am still with the fact that He is widely covered in many of the sources I provided, the sources are independent. You haven't provided evidence they're not. You're flat out and getting arrested by the EFCC (due to his affliation with Zlatan and Naira Marley) at this point.  Blocked sock. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 23:03, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * If they simply briefly referenced the blogger, his name wouldn't be in the title of the majority of these sources. and more over have come across articles of wrestler, boxers, footballers, Comedian etc. having one or two songs and articles still describe them as musicians, simply because they have their song on Popular streaming platforms. being Zlatan's personal blogger isn't going to make him notable.
 * a notable Nigerian rapper and singer who has admitted to having a song with this blogger, by a staff writer (Bylined) from a well reliable source in Nigeria. Vanguard. They wouldn't want to talk about the blogger or with him if nobody cared about him. Beckyrose233 (talk) 02:19, 10 March 2023 (UTC)  Blocked sock. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 22:50, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep: I have worked in the sphere of Nigerian music articles for a bit, and I find it troubling that so many users would write off coverage found in the most prominent news sites of the country. If you don't think his achievements are that impressive, that is fine. But we don't decide to have pages based on how impressive a person seems. We base it on the existence of sources. Why? I Ask (talk) 06:12, 10 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Who exactly is your comment addressed to? Who voted to delete the article based on impression? The subject lacks in-depth coverage and doesn't meet the requirements of WP:MUSICBIO and WP:JOURNALIST. Show me a criterion of MUSICBIO, WP:JOURNALIST, or WP:GNG he meets and I will change my vote. He doesn't have a music career to speak of and simply being arrested isn't enough to warrant a stand-alone article. Moreover, running a non-notable blog doesn't establish him as a notable act.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 22:35, 11 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. He has profiles in The Guardian, Vanguard News , and The Sun (among others). These are some of the largest newspapers in Nigeria and are considered reliable sources per WP:NG/RS. Clearly he does have a career to speak of if he has received national coverage in multiple sources. Why? I Ask (talk) 04:27, 12 March 2023 (UTC)
 * @Versace1608 funny how you also are trying to write off the fact that he is also signed to a well notable Major Record label in Nigeria (Zanku Records) also been mentioned here This Day 1 by one of Ghanaian top blogger and Audiomack Africa Ambassador and curator, do you think they would want to mention his name as "(Nigerian top blogger in Zanku Records)" if he wasn't notable in the country. pls stop trying to writeoff the  fact that he also actually does have a career as a blogger also. this is from reliable sources vanguard News and clearly not PR job.

 * I need a more convincing delete argument. Please see my above comment. Bylined articles in five national newspapers is clearly a good amount of sourcing, and your assertion that the articles are puffery is completely unjustified (and dead wrong). Why? I Ask (talk) 00:38, 13 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Although I am clearly aware that paid sources are a problem in journalism/entertainment media across all subjects, kindly offer proof that the sources I listed were paid sources. @Oaktree b and pls don't tell me that articles from well-respected national newspapers independent sources are "self-promotion." with no proper evidence that they are.

 * stop lying that they are. You haven't provided evidence. because you are clearly writing off these national newspapers and completely writing off the Nigeria list of notable reliable sources per WP:NG/RS. with no proper evidence or claim to back your accusation. just because these media houses do PR articles for some articles doesn't mean they do it for all.

Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:05, 14 March 2023 (UTC)


 * With all due respect this here doesn't show that the source was paid for, or are you trying to tell me that rollingstones and dailytimes or forbes ? dont write about celebrities? notable celebrities? your judgement is clearly bias. "your feelings are not policy." completely writing off the Nigeria media space. You know most of the sources I provided weren't " press release. but you will count this as Pass  "Kulture Is All Smiles For Cardi B & Offset's Grammy Nominated 'Clout': Watch" , "The First Week Sales Figures for Offset & Gunna's New Albums Are Here".  but count this off Vanguard News (January 2020) saying his not a journalist. but has link to the website dashboard?

 * I don't understand much of what you wrote, or the relevance of the articles you linked to.
 * What my analysis shows is that:
 * Onaolapo Olalekan Odunola, writing for Vanguard on 12 January 2020, wrote "At 27, Adewumi Adeyanju otherwise known as Biesloaded has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment scene as “blogger blogger”. With his rapport with fellow top bloggers and established connections in the music industry, the sky is the starting point for this young, hardworking entrepreneur."
 * Ada Ada, writing for the Daily Times on 16 January 2020, wrote "At 27, Adewumi Adeyanju otherwise known as Biesloaded has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment scene as “blogger blogger”. With his rapport with fellow top bloggers and established connections in the music industry, the sky is the starting point for this young, hardworking entrepreneur."
 * Daniel Anazia, writing for The Guardian on 2 May 2020, wrote "With his rapport with fellow top bloggers and established connections in the music industry."
 * ThisDay, on 10 May 2020 wrote "At 27, Adewumi Adeyanju otherwise known as Biesloaded has carved a niche for himself in the entertainment scene as “blogger blogger”. With his rapport with fellow top bloggers and established connections in the music industry, the sky is the starting point for this young, hardworking entrepreneur."
 * On 11 December 2021 The Sun wrote: "At age 27, Adewumi has built up a reputation in the entertainment industry as a “blogger.” Considering his affiliations in the music industry and his open communication with other top bloggers, the world is indeed yet to discover this young, high-achieving individual."


 * Five newspapers have run articles using the same or paraphrased text. My plagiarism detector shows the Vanguard article is a 81.4% match to the The Guardian article. These are not independently written. So who wrote them? My assertion is that the text was provided by a PR agency. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 16:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)

 * That's probably just the blurb from his own biography that newspapers use. I don't think it should be any sort of disqualifier as the newspapers still independently covered him. I also believe you are mistaken with Ada Ada, who is a reporter alongside a SEO. Most newspapers (even the  New York Times) have SEO specialists to try and boost clicks on articles. It does not mean the articles themselves are an issue.
 * But trying to find secondary analysis in Nigerian news is nigh impossible. That's just the current nature of Nigerian news coverage of the arts. In an effort to avoid systemic bias, I don't think analysis should be a requirement as opposed to just coverage. Why? I Ask (talk) 17:36, 14 March 2023 (UTC)
 * I completely disagree with you about "secondary analysis in Nigerian news being highly impossible". There's a good number of Nigerian musicians, bloggers, and entertainers who have Wikipedia pages. If "secondary coverage" was almost impossible, we wouldn't have these lists: List of Nigerian entrepreneurs, List of Nigerian musicians, and List of Nigerian bloggers. The problem here is that the subject is not a notable musicians, blogger or entrepenuer. He doesn't meet any criterion of WP:MUSICBIO, WP:CREATIVE, or even WP:ANYBIO. Per the nominator, he lacks in-depth coverage in reliable sources.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 23:52, 15 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Secondary coverage is available, but analysis is rare. Even looking through Nigerian musicians or bloggers, you find the exact same type of sources without any analysis on pretty much every page (especially for the latter). This type of attitude is also why sixth largest country in the world has a musician list smaller than something like Australia. Why? I Ask (talk) 04:38, 16 March 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment There are several trustworthy sources (more than one). judging from your so-called evidence that means so many articles here List of Nigerian bloggers.List of Nigerian entrepreneurs also fails WP:ANYBIO WP:NG/RS which is clearly unacceptable, I have been editing Wikipedia for years also have contributed to hundreds of wiki project as well as created some page for some top Canadian actors and singer not only Canadian. before i misplaced my laptop and had to start all over again i have come across articles from other countries with less than 5 reliable sources been deemed notable.

 * The blogger in question is signed under a major record label in africa Zanku Records and there's about more than one coverage on that alone. Beckyrose233 (talk) 07:18, 16 March 2023 (UTC) Blocked sock. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 23:07, 16 March 2023 (UTC)


 * Weak keep: Most of the sources listed seems to be reliable according to Nigerian Sources. The article still needs more sources for verification. The BLP sources tag should help with the article improvement in mainspace. Wikispendo (talk) 19:10, 15 March 2023 (UTC) Blocked sock. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 15:39, 17 March 2023 (UTC)
