Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/GhKings


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Delete. The arguments for deletion are rooted in Wikipedia's policies, but those from the one or two people arguing for keeping are not. ("one or two" because the two IP edits are clearly from one person, and it looks very much as though the account is the same person too.) Having "endorsements" from prominent people and "playing a vital role in the art industry" are not in line with policy. The author of the article and both of the "keep" IP edits say that the article should be "strengthened", but whatever that means it is not a reason for keeping the article.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep As far as Ghana music is concerned, GhKings plays a vital role in the art industry. You might not be familiar with the entertainment industry in Africa, Ghana precisely - the article sources audiovisual endorsements from some of the biggest names in Africa; Omotola Jalade Ekeinde —, Reggie Rockstone - curator of Hiplife; Ghana's very own music genre — , VIP — and more. They recently emerged as a startup company and has been working hand in hand with the Musicians Union of Ghana (MUSIGA). I suggest we keep it to further strengthen the article.

 * Endorsements do not establish notability. We need significant coverage in independent reliable sources. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 18:06, 5 August 2016 (UTC)
 * And I guess you're talking about BBC, CNN and co. Because the article sources from notable tabloids in Ghana; Ghana Web, Ghana Gist, Modern Ghana and George Britton. So unless you're judging the mentioned sources on the same pedestal as BBC or CNN, I think it's unfair. These are reliable sources and trusted by Ghanaians.

 * Press releases and promotional pieces are not independent. —&thinsp;JJMC89&thinsp; (T·C) 19:04, 6 August 2016 (UTC)
 * is the only one I can attest as a press release here. Like I said earlier, you need to pay extra attention to the media in Africa - giving props to an organization at the end of an article doesn't render it promotional. I don't see the organisation influencing the articles or so ever - the following classifies it as NOT indepedent and I don't see that with following links you shared; (NOT) press release, (NOT) self published, (NOT) advertising and definitely (NOT) written by the organisation (GhKings). Again, you're not being fair to journalism from Africa. User:kingsbergdeheddles (talk) 03:55, 7 August 2016 GMT
