Non notable musical artist that does not satisfy WP:SINGER & doesn’t meet WP:GNG either. A BEFORE shows a gross lack of notability. Celestina007 (talk) 03:54, 16 April 2020 (UTC)

Oppose, at least until some South African Wikipedians comment on the notability of the refs, including the one I just added to the page. Newystats (talk) 06:01, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * Hello, Nope we do not need to wait for South-African editors to comment this is a collaborative project in which we determine notability by the formula “in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources” if an article satisfies this golden rule, then a stand alone article is warranted if not then it isn’t. Waiting for editors from a particular continent to comment before taking action is something I’ve never heard of. Celestina007 (talk) 08:42, 16 April 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The article's sources are either unreliable (refs 3, 4, 5), promotional (refs 1, 6) or not independent (ref 2). A Google search of the subject doesn't show him being discussed in reliable sources.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 16:09, 16 April 2020 (UTC)
 * What grounds do you have for saying the https://www.iol.co.za/ ref is not independent? Newystats (talk) 06:35, 17 April 2020 (UTC)
 * The entire IOL source contains lengthy quotes from the subject. It can be used in the article but cannot be used to establish notability because it is not a secondary source.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 14:17, 17 April 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
