 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep The article is of a notable award-winning veteran musician here in Ghana. I believe the article only needs improvement and more citations. Kwamevaughan (talk)
 * Keep. Although a search of the subject only brings up links to primary sources, he appears to be a veteran Gospel artist in the Ghanaian Music Industry. He has won multiple Ghana Music Awards, including Gospel Song of the Year for "Onyame Aseda" in 2007.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 17:54, 13 April 2019 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks,  Sandstein   18:01, 14 April 2019 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: The "keep" !votes really are very weak: "needs improvement and more citations", "only brings up links to primary sources", "deserves to be included". For this article to be kept, what is needed are reliable secondary sources independent of the subject. Despite the numerical majority of "keep" !votes, at this point the "delete" !votes have the stronger policy-based reasoning.
 * Keep has won multiple notable music awards and therefore passes WP:NMUSIC (only one criteria required), and so he deserves to be included in the encyclopedia imv Atlantic306 (talk) 20:10, 18 April 2019 (UTC)

 * Keep As explained above by those who voted to keep. The musician in question is a household name and deserves to be on Wikipedia according to our notability standards. The article uses at least two credible sources that are independent on the subject hence deserves to be kept. The two most important sources myjoyonline and peacefmonline which are like Ghana's BBC and Fox news respectively. --Flixtey (talk) 12:53, 28 April 2019 (UTC)
