Odunsi (The Engine)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He is still an up and coming artist. None of his singles (as a lead or featured artist) are notable. Nothing in the article shows the artist being a major player in the Nigerian music scene.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 21:31, 16 August 2017 (UTC)

Since Odunsi (The Engine) meets seven criterias of MUSICBIO, he is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia. Also, the sources cited in the article are independent of him. Also, the artist's is rated b-list or also called New Wave artist in Nigeria just like "Kah-Lo", " Moelogo", "Ric Hassani", "SoJay", "T'Jan", "Ajebutter22", "Boogey" & Mavin recording artist "Johnny Drille", etc. Note: Some of the artists mentioned haven't even charted on any country's official music charts. --Obari2Kay (talk) 06:51, 17 August 2017 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: The article meets WP:MUSICBIO criterias, not just 1 but more:- (2:His song Situationship was featured on billboard chart in December 2016 . Here is a source from Billboard (4: UK concert 2017, the event took place at O2 Academy Islington in London. The event also featured guest artist like "Eugy" & "Maleek Berry" . (6: He is an ensemble of independently notable musicians, such as "Eugy", "BlackMagic", "Mr Eazi" and "Joey B". (7: He has become one of the most prominent representatives of a notable style Nigeria known as 'Indie electronic", "Afro-Fusion", "Alternative pop", "RnB", "Electropop" & "Indie pop".

 *  Weak Delete a clear case of WP:TOOSOON. The subject's music career has not been documented by secondary sources and virtually all cited footnotes describes the subject as an upcoming artiste except the OkayAfrica source which looks reliable but not enough to establish notability. P.S: Article creator should note that Spotify and The Beats 99 charts are non-notable music charts. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:19, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Odunsi (The Engine) was featured on OVO Sound Radio, program that airs on Beats 1  . Also he was covered by Radr Magazine in February. Here is another source which is independent of the subject  in details but a tricky one also, it talk's about the subject and his music if you read the article to end . Here is also an event in Lagos called "NativeLand Lagos concert 2016" which he shared stage with like's of "Skepta", "J Hus" & "Burna Boy", named a few . All am trying to say is the article is worth being on Wikipedia, according to the law stated by WP:MUSICBIO which say's "May be notable if they meet at least one of the following criteria". Since the article meet's seven not just one of it's criteria, also you said Spotify is not a notable music charts, yet  Billboard listed it on their chart and it has an official link from Billboard website yet you condemn the category link it never exited on Billboard. I understand the subject it's a tricky one just like Kah-Lo & Emmy Gee, for you to had voted weak delete then you changed your vote to delete ; it a tricky one. All i advice we do is to Keep the article, then in time we update the article as more reliable link's are available. Like i said earlier he is called "New Wave artist" or the future of alternative music in Nigeria, here is a link from Tush Magazine which discuss about the New Wave, if you read the article you would find his name listed their as the future of alternative music in Nigeria. Pls note i never said Tush Magazine gave details of the subject, am only trying to prove a point here.--Obari2Kay (talk) 20:11, 18 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete As per WP:TOOSOON & even WP:GNG. Article may be re-created at a later time when subject may deserve a stand-alone article but as of now it is salient article be deleted as soon as possible. Furthermore, it is imperative the page's creator & only exponent in defence of keeping the page, learn to properly organize his input in this discussion as things are starting to look a tad bit dis-organized.Celestina007 (talk) 14:16, 23 August 2017 (UTC)
