Nanky

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Ref bombed articles on a musician who doesn’t satisfy any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO & generally lack in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of them thus do not satisfy WP:GNG also. A before search links me to user generated unreliable sources such as this, this, this, this & this all of which are very much unreliable. Celestina007 (talk) 00:26, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Voting Keep - Nanky is a popular name in Ghana, his former group UG360 is known very well in Tema for their viral song Denkin. Per my little research, his videos Happiness and Innocent Girl shows a good number of views on Youtube with more than 1 million streams. His debut EP also passed a million plus views. WP:GNG here is satisfied and references are good. --Jibodi (talk) 07:31, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @, fame & popularity are words erroneously used interchangeably with notability, but I’m sorry to say, on this collaborative project, fame & popularity aren’t considered to be one and the same with notability which has precise parameters on determining it.

 * @Celestina007, If you are saying 3Music Awards is not a notable awards scheme, why does it have an article sitting comfortable here on Wikipedia? I believe you should put it up for deletion first before we talk about about deleting a nominee. For Christ sake 3Music Awards is very notable in Ghana.Richloveburner (talk) 07:41, 25 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete No sign of notability; as nommed, fails WP:GNG / WP: MUSICBIO by some margin. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 11:13, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * @DoubleGrazing no sign of notability?? Going through the references, I spotted the entity is a nominee of a major Ghanaian award scheme 3Music Awards and a winner of Global Africa Music Awards. My little off Wikipedia search also confirm his song Favour with Sarkodie was topping charts in Ghana and made iTunes top 100 songs in Ghana. Also he is signed unto a major record label in Ghana Sultan Incorporation together with Fancy Gadam. All references are credible and you could see clearly they where not paid for. In Ghana where the media is now getting use to the modern system of putting contents online instead of the traditional newspaper of which the entity has several, I believe he is notable enough as he passes WP: MUSICBIO — Preceding unsigned comment added by 154.160.16.130 (talk) 13:04, 21 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment — @, logging out & making a comment constitutes WP:GAME, you are more than welcome to provide reliable sources that prove the subject of the article is notable. MUSICBIO specifically states only major music awards are to be considered of which the 3Music Awards definitely isn’t. Celestina007 (talk) 18:36, 24 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Subject does not meet wikipedia's notability; fails both WP:GNG and WP: MUSICBIO---Ampimd (talk) 01:57, 25 March 2021 (UTC)
