NN musician, fails WP:MUSICBIO. UtherSRG (talk) 19:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC) Relisting comment: For further input on Meanderingbartender's findings. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, CycloneYoris talk! 00:18, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Africa,  and Democratic Republic of the Congo. UtherSRG (talk) 19:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Perhaps a weak keep. I've done a rewrite of the article and found some sources including The New Yorker, although, the mentions are a tad fleeting yet he is used as an example of popularising a musical style in an Encyclopedia. I didn't do a check on French sources. With WP:MUSICBIO, I think his band meets criteria 4 and 7. I wouldn't oppose having a band page be created Les Coeurs Brises and a redirect made to it from Dany Engobo. Meanderingbartender (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per Meanderingbartender's decision. CastJared (talk) 20:54, 5 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. The person who loves reading (talk) 00:29, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Comment A .fr Google website search doesn't turn up much mentioned about another person during Eurovision in 2010. He has a listing at BNF (the French National Library), so I think he's released a few records/CDs'. I'll keep digging. Oaktree b (talk) 01:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * He appears to have been making music as part of "Les Coeurs Brises" before 1991, then alone in the late 90's/early 2000s, so likely exists in paper sources. He's mentioned in this book, which Google doesn't have much of beyond a snippet view; it's published in the Congo, so I doubt it will be in many libraries. Oaktree b (talk) 01:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Weak keep I think his notability hangs on MUSIC #7 in particular. He created a new musical style/dance as described in the article. And about a paragraph in this book, briefly talking about him, and this , mentioned in an African cultural encyclopedia. Oaktree b (talk) 01:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Did on search on BNF Gallica, hoping for newspapers, nothing turns up . Appears he was big in Africa in the pre-internet era, so not much has been digitized from that part of the planet and time. Oaktree b (talk) 02:05, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
