article fails to establish notability - the article fails WP:GNG, WP:BLP and WP:RS - all references in the article are from unreliable sources. Amsaim (talk) 12:27, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete, refs do not establish notability. Hairhorn (talk) 15:24, 15 July 2011 (UTC)

After careful review, article QUALIFIES to stay on wikipedia for the following reasons. 1. It meets the Verifiability WP:RELIABLE, 2. it meets all criteria for Notability Please see and compare to article WP:NRVE, WP:GNG, WP:BLP and WP:RS. Finally all references in this articles are from RELIABLE SOURCES, please refer to WP:SOURCES and WP:NEWSBLOG as clearly indicated in the article. Please see article's Reference List! B'Robby

In your own opinion, what establishes Notability if I may ask because the refs clearly establishes the subject's notability. If you still challenge this, research the refs, kindly discuss and suggest instead of deleting. Please read WP:DONTBITE--Dawizard47 (talk) 15:56, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * You can read the notability guidelines, it's not a matter of my opinion. Hairhorn (talk) 16:03, 15 July 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete The 'references' are mostly very brief promotions for a single - using what looks like the same wording in some cases. The subject "is currently working on his debut album". In other words, he may be up and coming but he doesn't look to me to have arrived as of date. Appearing with someone who is allegedly notable (but DJ Buzzle - why do they pick these idiotic names? - isn't notable enough for an article here, it seems) doesn't cascade notability down. The so-called R&B / Hiphop scene is more promiscuous than the jazz world. Everyone appears on someone else's recording at some time. (And people who aren't in this scene appear in it when their work becomes sampled...) I wish the lad luck in his career, don't get me wrong. But he isn't up to scratch for an article here yet.

 * Keep The artist in question is notable in Nigeria. The associated artists, DJ Buzzle and Terry tha Rapman are well known musicians in Nigeria as well. The page has been edited to conform to all Wikipedia criteria and all forms of "promotions" have been deleted. Please also note that he is one of the few artists apart from Cobhams Asuquo with the ability to perform with a disability. --Dawizard47 (talk) 21:24, 15 July 2011 (UTC)
 * Comment It's not much help adding references for 'Terry tha rapman' - this would be of use if we were discussing an article on him. We're not. Whatever notability he has is not relevant here. We need references for this subject that are not mere mentions or offers of downloading something. Coverage. This means an article somewhere reliable that is written independently and actually discusses B'Robby. As to disability, there are and have been other blind artists. 'Not many' does not necessarily equal notable. Notably there have been Ray Charles and Stevie Wonder, to name two. Neither of them would have merited an article in their early days. If this artiste is so notable in Nigeria, how about proving it? Even so, you must look at WP:BAND for the standards needed. That's the easy way. To show that someone who fails them really is notable can be done. But you've got a hack of a job on your hands to do it, and references like the current ones are not the way.

 * And of course, we have Category:Blind musicians with 182 pages...and that's just this one particular disability. Obviously that's nowhere near comprehensive. Frank  &#124;  talk  00:07, 16 July 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete - At least for now due to lack of coverage in reliable sources. No prejudice to an article in the future when has developed a notable career but that hasn't happened yet.
