 * Keep *This article was posted to mainspace because it was reviewed and accepted by Frayæ &  DOOMSDAYER 520 after almost two months of waiting for it to be reviewed again. The artiste is very know in Ghana and the fact that he is not featured on international magazines and websites doesn't mean he isn't. I have included over 25 references of top news, entertainment websites which features him. There are also references like MTV, Genius etc on this article which satisfy WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. There are a lot of information on this artiste on google which I think he deserves to be on Wikipedia.

 * Keep Kofi Byble is a known artiste here in Ghana and in Africa. I don't see why his article is being considered for deletion. We Africans also use Wikipedia for your information.

 * Keep I think this article was well written and we need such contributors on Wikipedia. I vote for Keep because I have done some research myself and the artiste in question is very notable and hence should have a Wiki page. This article shouldn't be considered for deletion.

 * Weak Keep - I was mentioned above as "accepting" the article for publication. That is technically true but my involvement was via the New Pages Patrol in which we watch for obvious hoaxes, vandalism, policy violations, etc. but are encouraged to avoid unilateral judgements and to leave notability issues to the community. And this AfD is a good indication of that process. My assertion right now is that the article needs to be trimmed down to remove some obvious attempts at promotion and an over-reliance on blogs. But the singer is signed to a noteworthy label in his country and has a single that generated a little legitimate notice. So he has satisfied various requirements of WP:NMUSICIAN (arguably #1, 11, 12) but I would not object if other voters call for more verifiable evidence that he has progressed beyond merely being noticed by his country's promoters. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 19:30, 27 November 2018 (UTC)
