Danny Boy (musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Fails WP:NMUSICIAN. Web sources are limited to blogs and social media, music download sites, reproductions of this short piece, and mirrors of the Wikipedia article. Many of these sites make reference to the subject's up-and-coming status; in other words, it's probably too soon for Wikipedia to have an article on him.

Article has been corrected/updated with more verified information and sources following the above stated faults with the previous version of the article.Elijah Enike (talk) 17:26, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * the sources you've included fall considerably below what's needed to show that the article subject has received significant, reliably-published, independent coverage. In fact, quite a few of the sources just copy each other: compare this and this, this and this, and this and this. That isn't the basis for a Wikipedia article. <b style="color: #FF0F00;">Super</b><b style="color: #FF3F00;">Mario</b><b style="color: #FF6F00;">Man</b> (Talk) 19:21, 25 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete — As one who has lived in Nigeria for 20+ years I cannot say I’ve ever heard of this chap. He fails to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. @, what should really piss you off (of which I’m surprised you aren’t pissed at) is the blatant COI/UPE going on here. They claim the image in the article as their “own work” that’s as shady as they come. Celestina007 (talk) 21:37, 24 January 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep — Surely its not everyone you must have heard of @, the views expressed by @ depicts the article being judged based on personal experience, or views. @ However I would like to point out some reliable sources used as citations on the article, and also the notable collaboration of a "Known Chap" (artist: Yung L). in addition, the musician in question is verified on Facebook and well known, if not to all as @ stated but to a majority.Elijah Enike (talk) 23:27, 24 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment —@, if they have made a substantial contributions to the Nigerian music Industry I must definitely know them. Please read WP:PAID & WP:COI & kindly explain to us how you got the image on the article as your “own work”. Your sarcasm is duly noted & I definitely do not appreciate it, if you refuse to disclose how you got the image, I’d have no option but to report you for undisclosed paid editing & using Wikipedia as a means of promotion & make sure you are permanently blocked from editing here any further. Lastly, your client, doesn’t satisfy any criterion from WP:SINGER thus isn’t deserving of a standalone article at the moment. Also, being verified on Facebook isn’t a yardstick for ascertaining notability on this collaborative project, but WP:GNG is, of which clearly you haven’t read, look If you continue down this path of undisclosed paid editing you are definitely getting blocked & that isn’t a threat but a factual statement.

 * I'll add that collaborating with another musician means just as little, since notability is not inherited from the people that an article subject has worked with. <b style="color: #FF0F00;">Super</b><b style="color: #FF3F00;">Mario</b><b style="color: #FF6F00;">Man</b> (Talk) 19:21, 25 January 2021 (UTC)

Okay Celestina007, Firstly I want to state that any words that might have been taken as hostility and have vexed you were not in any way intended, I also apologize for my sarcastic statements. Secondly, addressing the issue of the image, as explained on my Talk Page; It is as a result of poor understanding of policies as a newbie editor, I humbly seek your guidance in the correction of such errors and in general the betterment of my obviously poor editing skills. I understand the above explained WP:PAID & WP:COI. I have never been paid directly or indirectly for any Edits neither will I accept any future payments from anyone. I signed up on Wikipedia to help improve it and the society at large just like you. all my contributions on articles so far have all been factual and unbiased, I only stated the Facebook status because I thought it could be used as a source or reference that shows the prominence of the said person, apparently that is wrong and I apologize. I understand the article does not meet the criteria's to be included in List of Nigerian Musicians but I beg a thorough review for standalone article, I hope to have at least persuaded you to stop using the terms client and collaborative projects in your next reply, Thanks :).Elijah Enike (talk) 10:36, 25 January 2021 (UTC)
 * There is a page on Facebook for virtually everything and new pages can be created by anyone, so the fact that this musician is on Facebook (along with countless other musicians) is completely irrelevant as far as establishing notability is concerned. <b style="color: #FF0F00;">Super</b><b style="color: #FF3F00;">Mario</b><b style="color: #FF6F00;">Man</b> (Talk) 11:28, 6 February 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete. Does not satisfy MUSICBIO by any stretch. I agree with the nominator’s and Celestina007‘s rationales. —Kbabej (talk) 06:42, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
