Ajura

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

We have listings of "new artists" such as this article in The Punch where our subject is presented together with other new acts as a matter of routine for music pages or simple, yet embellished, announcements about new material, such as this one in TooXclusive, this in the Nigerian Tribune, or this in NotJustTok, a website that explicitly offers advertorials  at a price. Then, we get reports about upcoming award events, in which the artist is mentioned once, as a candidate, e.g. here, here, etc; or announcements about upcoming tours, such as this. Practically all sources offer promotional copy instead of reviews, e.g. "The video is a reflection of the singer’s talent, as it is colourful and creative [and] will definitely garner the single more reviews"; some go as far, or as low, as reporting that the artist "has released new publicity photos" (see here).

He's a young artist who has released one unremarkable single, marketing wise. There are millions, literally, like Ajura. At our most generous, we can wish for something better in the future. -The Gnome (talk) 17:12, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Are these City People awards notable? This person won an award; the article for the City People Awards doesn't seem to use notable sources. It's not the first award from that City People we've seen here either... Oaktree b (talk) 18:29, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

 * comparable to the People's Choice awards for example. This should make the individual being discussed here notable. Oaktree b (talk) 02:05, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
 * The People's Choice Awards, since their inception, are decided through polling and, since the early 2000s, through online voting or polling research. There is no participation by fans in the City People Entertainment Awards, as far as we can tell. Putting the latter on equal footing with PCA would be a stretch. But even so, Ajura has not won a City People award; he was only nominated - in the New Act category. One weak appearance in the field of awards "should make Ajura notable"? We need more, much more than this. -The Gnome (talk) 18:23, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
