Idyl (Musician)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He is only known for winning The Voice Nigeria, a single event. He has released six songs since he started his music career and none of them have been discussed in significant detail. Per the article, he has been making music since 2012. An artist who has been making music for 7 years with no album and only six singles to his name cannot be notable.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 02:49, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep the artiste won a notable competition in Nigeria, which was aired across Africa, and even though he does not have an album out, his singles have been quite successful and according to reports he is one of the most popular artistes from his region as indicated here .Philphleg (talk) 08:59, 9 October 2019 (UTC)
 * Winning a notable event doesnt make one notable. Which of his singles have been "successful"? Can you provide a reliable source to support your statement that his singles have been successful. His songs did not chart on any country's official music chart and were not critically reviewed.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 13:21, 9 October 2019 (UTC)


 * Keep as clearly passes criteria 9 of WP:NMUSIC: "Has won first, second or third place in a major music competition" as The Voice Africa a pan-national contest broadcast internationally would qualify as a major music competition particularly as his win was covered in multiple reliable sources such as The Guardian Nigeria and the Vanguard, also WP:Notability is not temporary, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 22:07, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * There's no such thing as the The Voice Africa. The subject participated in The Vocie Nigeria, a single country competition. Said competiion did not broadcast internationally. Can you provide a reliable source that it was broadcast internationally? The Vanguard and The Guardian sources are interviews and are not independent of him. As I stated earlier, the subject is not a notable act. He doesn't have a music career to speak of. He only has 7 singles to his name and none of them are notable.

 * ok, winning a national tv competition that is covered in reliable sources still passes criteria 9 of WP:NMUSIC regardless of his singles as per WP:Notability is not temporary do you think a winner of The Voice in the US or UK would be deleted? I very much doubt it, so we must avoid systemic bias, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 23:14, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
 * I don't see any bias here. The subject simply has not done enough from a musical standpoint. He has been making music since 2012 and has nothing to show for it. The only claim to notability is his participation in The Voice Nigeria.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 23:27, 12 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
