Subject of article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources hence fails WP:GNG. Furthermore subject of the article doesn’t satisfy any criterion from SINGER Celestina007 20:26, 8 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete sources in article do not establish notability and a search by any of the names in the article + "Afrobeats" did not show anything that would help meet WP:GNG, WP:NPEOPLE (or combined under WP:BASIC) or WP:NARTIST.  // Timothy ::  talk  05:44, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment and Keep I see plenty of sources for his father's death, . Perhaps the article could be trimmed. I gave him a few links, such as The Headies Award for Best Collaboration. Seems clearly notable at a glance, - admitting I have no time for a closer look. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 06:59, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Reply: Hi, I'd be happy to take another look. If (time permitting) you think of any search terms or Nigerian RS other than what you've provided that may produce results, let me know. I've actually been listening to some of his music. Greetings from Los Angeles,  // Timothy ::  talk  07:54, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Thank you for asking, and sorry I had no time so far. I have no experience in the field, - what I do is search for his name and the thing missing a reference, - sometimes lucky, sometimes not. Try it. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:15, 17 August 2020 (UTC)
 * I looked at the article, trimmed the prose and dropped some dubious sources. I see enough coverage (Nigerian Guardian) and awards to think he is notable enough, already. I'd say that our criteria SINGER are possibly too hard for a Nigerian singer, and we could ignore that rule. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 09:30, 20 August 2020 (UTC)
