Clement Soj (rapper)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

This article is about a Sudanese rapper with no coverage in independent reliable sources to establish notability in general or specifically as a musician. There are four references in the article. They are:
 * 1) a page from a web hosting service that allows anybody to create their own sports team web site.  Not a reliable source
 * 2) Some sort of community based, no-for-profit news portal which might possibly be a reliable source, but the reference makes not mention of Clement Soj nor could I find any mention of him when using the search function for the site.  Not a usable source.
 * 3) The official web site of the artist.  Not independent coverage.
 * 4) The same sports team web site from reference 1.  Not a reliable source. Whpq (talk) 00:03, 2 May 2016 (UTC)

I would like to say that Clement Soj is truly South Sudanese singer, but do you know why you did not get any mention of him on independent websites? It is because he is still a student of senior 1. On date 1 of June of 2015 he was invited to the radio station run by United Nations Mission In South Sudan to be interviewed, but unfortunately he refused to go to the Radio Miraya station, saying; it is not good for me to go and waste my time on silly things, he said he wants to complete his study first. Though he is well valued singer, he refuses to upload his songs. Iam a writer or creator of this article, so if you think that Iam lying, please contact Clement Soj on Facebook or Twitter and find out more concerning him.

 * Comment/Delete I have mixed opinions about this article, we really need to improve Wikipedia's coverage in South Sudan and this looks like an interesting individual. However there is barely nothing out there about him or his music, all the sources are unreliable as Whpq mentioned, and even the subject's Twitter page has more to do with him being a Real Madrid fan than actually anything music related. For the moment simply not notable. Inter&#38;anthro (talk) 23:33, 2 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Truth
 * It's not a case of whether we believe that the material in the article is true, but whether the topic meets Wikipedia's inclusion guidelines to justify an article. -- Whpq (talk) 04:04, 9 May 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete as still nothing suggesting the needed article notability improvements. SwisterTwister   talk  06:46, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
