The result was speedy keep. Nomination withdrawn. I agree with the developing consensus that this passes per Criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC. Withdrawing. (non-admin closure) nearlyevil  665  05:54, 15 April 2021 (UTC)

Non-notable musician, references do not constitute reliable secondary sources and the award nomination is for a non-significant music award. Nearlyevil665 (talk) 10:21, 5 April 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete does not meet our inclusion criteria for musicians.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:31, 6 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep passes criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC as the nomination was for Ghana's major music awards The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards which are nationally broadcast as confopirmed by reliable sources, imv Atlantic306 (talk) 00:20, 11 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: WP:NMUSIC reads: "Has won or been nominated for a major music award, such as a Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award." Every national music award isn't a pass. nearlyevil  665  06:19, 11 April 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Can the Ghana Music Awards be considered a "major music award"? Where does it fit within the scope of "national" awards in Ghana?

 * Comment: Considering that WP:NMUSIC gives "Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis award." as an example of a major music award I would very much doubt that a national Ghana music award be even remotely considered as such. nearlyevil  665  13:09, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Do you know what the highest national music awards are in Ghana?  78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 13:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Wouldn't that be irrelevant? Criteria 8 of WP:NMUSIC says "major music award... such as Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis", not "major national music award...". The Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is nowhere near the level of the Grammy, Juno, Mercury, Choice or Grammis. If my interpretation is wrong I'm more than willing to withdraw the nomination. nearlyevil  665  14:56, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * Keep: Vodafone Ghana Music Awards is the highest level of music awards in Ghana, just like you are comparing to awards in the US, VGMA is a major award in Ghana too. If geographical location would be irrelevant then that would mean articles on these basis are useless in other or smaller countries.   →Enock 4 seth  (talk) 15:25, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment: Thank you for your input. Could I inquire into the source that would demonstrate said awards are the highest level of music awards in Ghana? nearlyevil  665  15:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
 * what specifically do you want to know? Vodafone Ghana Music Awards should help you. Thanks. →Enock 4 seth  (talk) 22:53, 13 April 2021 (UTC)


 * The main music awards of a country usually qualify as a major award for WP:NMUSIC. It obviously isn't limited to just a few mainly US awards as that would be entrenched systemic bias, Atlantic306 (talk) 23:51, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
