Non notable music guy. Cannot meet GNG or MUSICBIO. He is not even run of the mill. Ignore the first AFD notice on the side it is a totally unrelated dinosaur from 2004, no idea how it was linked to this debate. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 19:34, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Absolutely non-notable musician. It sources unreliable websites including advertisements like these sources, articles that don't pass WP:NOTRSMUSIC like this source, and even worse, it sources the musicians own songs. Kori  ( @ ) 19:39, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Strong keep. The subject passes WP:GNG and a few criterion of WP:MUSICBIO. He has received several coverage (mostly primary) in reliable sources and has released a project that has been critically-reviewed. Here are some coverage I found: Vice.com, The Face, The Outline, Fact Magazine, Elevator Magazine, Highsnobeity and The Fader. His Leap of Faith project has been critically reviewed by Native Magazine, Pulse Nigeria (owned by Ringier), Oris Aigbokhaevbolo and OkayAfrica. Reliable sources that give background info about the project include One Tribe Magazine. His second EP, titled Colours, was also critically reviewed by Native magazine, RNGLOR and Filter Free Nigeria. Background info about the EP can also be seen here and here. I'm not sure if the people voting delete actually did a complete Google search.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 20:22, 2 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Note: Elevator Magazine appears to be a vanity site that charges a submission fee. Largoplazo (talk) 21:39, 2 May 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * keep — Per rationale provided by . @ & . I believe you both must have come across WP:BASIC & per that notability guideline, what Versace said above means subject of the article should merit a stand alone article. I don’t necessarily disagree with you @ some of the sources are shaky & some (the Q & A’s) are definitely not independent of him but asides those we have other multiple sufficient sources that are also reliable sources that show that per WP:BASIC subject of article is indeed notable.

 * Keep based on the following sources: Vice, The Native Mag, Pulse.ng and Music in Africa. Thanks to Largoplazo for pointing out that Elevator Magazine does not appear to be a reliable source. Ikjbagl (talk) 06:13, 10 May 2020 (UTC)
