Glenn Mena

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable musician who fails WP:GNG. With my knowledge of mainstream Nigerian music, I haven't seen or heard this name. Nominated awards are non-notable as well. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 08:29, 26 September 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete. I looked at the references. Many of them are pages promoting his work or providing his work for download. The "awards" are mostly just nominations, and they don't seem to be notable awards either. (One of them, for example, is an award which is described on its web site as being the "sophomore edition" of an award "to recognize and reward worthy students and youths on the social scene", and Glenn Mena is one of 686 nominees.) One award which he actually won, rather than just being nominated, from reading pages such as the "about us" page on the web site of the award, is clearly a promotional award. An interview with him turns out to be on a site providing his work for download: effectively an advertisement presented as an interview. In short, no significant independent coverage at all.

 * Delete per JamesBWatson, not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. Mr. MacTidy (talk) 13:25, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment i think its best if you nominate or contribute to AfD without saying something like 'with my knowledge of mainstream music in Nigeria i've never heard of this artist' you can't know every artist in Nigeria. Its not possible and just because you haven't seen his name doesn't make him non-notable. Nigeria has a population of over 200 million people with different taste in music. I know this artist Glenn Mena very well. Just saying let's focus on why we're nominating rather than add personal sentiments. MustaphaNG (talk) 16:33, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * , There is nothing personal about my nomination and yes I can't know every artist in Nigeria because this is a country where everybody wants to go into music.—Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 17:46, 26 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. A Google search of the subject doesn't show the subject being discussed in reliable sources.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 20:27, 26 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete fails primary guidelines and policies, example : WP:GNG to own a stand alone article on Wikipedia. People fail to realize Wikipedia is not a platform used to promote yourself, friend or relation in any way. Celestina007 (talk) 02:04, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
