Black Magic (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet notability criteria. I strongly suspect the article creator, User:Jamzy4, has undeclared conflict of interest as he/she has primarily contributed highly promotional articles about Nigerian musical articles, including this article as well as:


 * Korrekt (musician) (already deleted)
 * Dremo (deletion nomination)
 * DJ Kaywise (deletion nomination)

The fact that all these articles have professional-grade photos with a claim to self-authorship is also very strong evidence of undeclared COI. Citobun (talk) 14:22, 6 October 2016 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete per reason on this AfD. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:55, 6 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete does not meet the notability requirements for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:11, 7 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment editors should also be aware that the article creator has been temporarily blocked for a campaign of revenge Afds against the nominator, something that could conceivably be directed at other participants at this Afd, once the 7-day ban expires. As stated at the ANI, he has "nominated at least one article for deletion because it's author !voted delete on an AFD"! Participants should be aware of this.

 * Keep: I understand that the creator's bad reputation might lead users into voting delete, but I actually believe this subject meets Wikipedia's GNG guideline. He has won "The Headies", which is Nigeria's biggest music award, and searching his name on google does bring up in-depth coverage of the subject.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 03:22, 10 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: per above. Darreg (talk) 13:15, 13 October 2016 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep Cited sources do have sufficient depth, although WP:COI concerns are still on the table. ron az Talk!  10:48, 17 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Speedy Delete. Created by a blocked editor. A prolific sock puppeteer who is here to promote. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:35, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep: as per above keep.--Blaze8724 (talk) 22:19, 18 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Blaze8724 is a yet another sock of the articles creator. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:22, 19 October 2016 (UTC)


 * Weak keep - I've gone through and removed most of the unsourced promotional content. COI aside, the subject's notability is borderline but I think there is enough out there to qualify. Meatsgains (talk) 02:42, 19 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep: Article meets WP:GNG, looking at references. Also meets WP:MUSICBIO, Awards won and nominated, per above. as Jamie Tubers.
 * The above comment was written by Historical Ben, but for some bizarre reason, his comment was disallowed by a filter. He clearly isn't a magic or astrology spambot.  Nyttend (talk) 05:05, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Historical Ben is yet another sockpuppet of the creator. Struck both sock comments. duffbeerforme (talk) 11:00, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
 * Thanks for investigating that. But there's still no reason for that specific filter to have blocked this specific comment, so it still ought to be investigated by WP:EF/FP.  Nyttend (talk) 11:28, 20 October 2016 (UTC)
