Lil5ive

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He does not have a music career to speak of and has not made a name for himself in the Nigerian music industry. Majority of the article's sources are promotional links to the subject's music.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 18:41, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

*Keep — The article is a good one and i don’t think it should be deleted. Lil5ive is actually known by a lot of music fans In the Nigerian music industry. His latest single Omo Ologo has been heavily rotated on radio, it has placed him in a smooth aura. You can check his numbers on steaming plaforms too. He has over 400,000 accumulated streams on digital stores, over 300K on audiomack. As a new artist who lives in Nigeria, that is a huge milestone. We should learn to support new breakout acts and Wikipedia is one of the means where more fans would get to see his complete info.

 * Delete — Subject of article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them hence does not satisfy WP:GNG. Furthermore per WP:SINGER they don’t qualify for a stand alone article. Celestina007 (talk) 19:13, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a place for artists to promote themselves or to be promoted. They can put their complete information about their discography, but not if the article fails WP:NOTABLE. xRENEGADEx 20:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

*Keep — I'm a music expert who currently works with Nigeria's most prestigious music blogs, NotJustOk. I've been following Lil5ive for a while now and I think he deserves an article on Wikipedia. He has garnered huge followership for his craft over the years. You change check his Instagram and other social media handles for proof, the engagements are amazing. As you can see, he's got references and features from prestigious platforms. You can check his streaming numbers, he is verified on Audioamack and has a total of 664,393 currently on Audiomack alone. He has a whole career in front of him. This is one of the ways we can appreciate fast-rising artists in Nigeria, he deserves a complete biography on this platform. I'll kindly ask you to consider him worthy of the Wikipedia article. Thanks brother. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter OKH (talk • contribs) 19:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment — Struck our comments of sock master & puppet. Celestina007 (talk) 23:36, 21 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete — Per 's comment, and also the article needs to be rewritten to follow WP:MOS. Maybe if this can be rewritten as a draft first, then it can be reaccepted into the mainspace. xRENEGADEx 20:35, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - Both the article's text and the puppet votes above show all the signs that this article is an attempted promotion. Charitably, it is too soon for an article on this performer, as he has not yet received the significant and reliable coverage necessary for notability. So far all he has are the usual streaming and retail listings. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (Talk&#124;Contribs) 15:28, 23 May 2020 (UTC)
