Someone whose notability is....basically using body functions to be a instrument. Um yeah...can't say that is quite notable. Wgolf (talk) 22:07, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete. I found one other usable reference besides the NPR All Things Considered piece linked in the article: a brief article in Punch. Other than that, just YoutTube, event listings, and social networking results. Using bodily functions musically is unusual enough that it could be notable, but it doesn't look like he passes WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO at this time. &mdash; Gwalla | Talk 23:09, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: I believe his unique approach to music has given him enough coverage to pass WP:GNG. I also think this article might be significant in promoting and expanding (or even creating) a new genre of music on Wikipedia. To the best of my knowledge, the reference from The Punch is sufficient to keep this article but just to clear any doubt I was able to find references from National Mirror and The Daily Independent (Lagos) (Note that these newspapers are politics oriented dailies who hardly publish things on entertainment except when necessary). 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 (P.M. News). Darreg (talk) 11:21, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Most of the sources just mention appearances with a short description of the act, but I suppose cumulatively they show a degree of notability. The article in The Punch does give a bit more depth of coverage, and the National Mirror interview gives more. Enough, just. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:19, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep: he passed WP:GNG as he has received significant coverage in highly regarded notable dailies.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 17:59, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment-I think the thing is the way this article sounded along with the source was bascially "wow I've seen 13 year olds do that" AKA just some gross body function thing. I think it needed to be more clear. Wgolf (talk) 19:18, 11 September 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment lol. I nearly gave a delete vote after reading the article until I read that a Punch reference existed from the first delete vote, that was what prompted me to go look for other sources cuz I knew if Punch should publish it then other dailies should most probably follow suit.
