Buike

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

Article about a non-notable musician per WP:NMUSICIAN. He has had no significant accomplishment of tracks of repute. The sources are all promotional/PR Puff pieces. Jamiebuba (talk) 13:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Bands and musicians,  and Nigeria. Jamiebuba (talk) 13:53, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete With these Nigerian sites that appear to be "pay to play" in what are otherwise RS, I'm unsure how we can judge a truly notable artist from the puff they publish. That said, this appears to be puff pieces and I'm not seeing that this artist has charted or won any awards of note. Social media personality is likely the clincher for non-notablity, but I'm willing to revisit if others have a different argument. Oaktree b (talk) 16:02, 15 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: Let's analyze whether the subject, Chibuike Promise Obi (stage name Buike), meets Wikipedia's notability guidelines for musicians:
 * Published Works: The article includes references from notable sources such as The Sun Nigeria, Punch Newspaper, The Guardian Nigeria, Vanguard News, and more. These sources provide coverage of Buike's music career, releases, and achievements. But according to @Oaktree b, they might just be "pay to play" ✅
 * Chart Performance and Record Certifications: There is no mention of Buike having a single or album on a national music chart, or having a record certified gold or higher. ❌
 * Concert Tours: While the article mentions Buike's music being streamed and on playlists, there is no indication of non-trivial coverage of an international or national concert tour.❌
 * Major Record Label Albums: The article mentions Buike releasing songs, but it does not specify whether these releases were on major record labels or significant indie labels.❌
 * Prominence of Style or Local Scene: There is no mention of Buike being one of the most prominent representatives of a particular music style or being the most prominent in a local music scene.❌
 * Major Music Awards or Competition Wins: There is no mention of Buike winning or being nominated for major music awards, and there is no information about him winning a major music competition.❌
 * Music for Notable Media Works: There is no information about Buike's music being featured in notable media works.❌
 * Radio or Television Exposure: There is no mention of Buike being placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network, nor is there mention of him being a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment.❌ Vanderwaalforces (talk) 22:22, 17 August 2023 (UTC)
 * So you're asking that we delete it? That's the conclusion I draw from your discussion above. Oaktree b (talk) 20:05, 21 August 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete. None of the available sources are suitable for establishing notability; it's clear that the majority are paid promotional pieces. Accordingly, the subject fails WP:NMUSICIAN and WP:BASIC, as we don't have sufficient appropriate sources to establish notability under those guidelines.
