spammy article about a non-notable musician, sourced almost entirely to rehashed press releases, puff pieces and interviews. Praxidicae (talk) 11:13, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

If I remember correctly you moved the article to draft space, stating that ''the article does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources.''

I have worked on the article and added more citations from reliable and independent sources. In Nigeria, every news agency on the article reference is as big as the New York Times in the US, and the Guardian in the UK. (talk) 12:51, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Yeah, except they aren't identifying their opinion or paid pieces and don't have bylines. Praxidicae (talk) 11:55, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep Thanks all for your inputs, I quite don't agree on the part of the subject not being notable, media publications in various countries have their peculiarities, the subject is quite notable in his country Nigeria, I just added more reference sources to more recent publications made concerning the subject being recognized by three National youth organizations for his business achievements and youth development. These publications were made before the request for deletion. The subject's Music label has a verified page on Instagram and you and I know it's more easier to get a Wikipedia page than to be verified on Instagram. The article has nothing promotional other than just cited mentions of necessary contents that should make up a normal Wikipedia page. If there are areas anyone feel needs to be corrected, it can be pointed out for corrections rather than suggesting deletion. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amah768 (talk • contribs) 14:12, 9 September 2020 (UTC)


 * The subject is a notable person in his home town — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amah768 (talk • contribs) 14:23, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete The only claim to notability in the article is that this musician was featured in the Nigerian Apple Music Top 100 Chart. If that's all he's got going for him then he really isn't notable in our terms even if he's attracted a lot of attention. Mccapra (talk) 16:00, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Only CCS is the Nigerian Apple top 100, which I do not believe gets it over the line. Sources might be considered valid but some are to Apple or Amazon also. Overall, NN. Eagleash (talk) 17:07, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep this person is notable in his hometown and Newsources state that he has Achieved quite alot. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LIL OSELF (talk • contribs) 20:36, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Does not satisfy musical notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 20:46, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment - Note to closer: The good-faith explanation of the Keep votes is canvassing.  Robert McClenon (talk) 20:46, 9 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete — fails to satisfy WP:MUSICBIO. Celestina007 02:52, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - Good luck to him as he gets started, but as is sickeningly common for articles on new Nigerian performers, this one is dependent on unreliable sites that look like legit music media but are actually friendly reprints of a manager's press releases. You can tell by repeated phrases like "rose to prominence" or "fast emerging" but with a lack of detail. His so-called "media" notice is unreliable and otherwise he is only present in the usual streaming and promo services where anyone can upload their own stuff. ––  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 15:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - because (if my memory is correct), I am the one who brought it up for speedy but was declined. So of course I think it should be deleted. 2601:983:827F:6B20:6CEA:B2C8:7FC3:9F09 (talk) 21:21, 10 September 2020 (UTC)

I believe it should be speedily deleted... Thanks Kwip1 (talk) 13:50, 11 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete - This Article is a Peacock and contain promotional Words that aren't True ,the songs of this subject has not been on any top charts, all the new source are paid Promotion and sponsored post which was stated therein, I believe it doesn't meet up notability, this article those not have a standard Biography, all listed reference are based on assumption and maybe his talent.. none was written based on achievements.. Two users here have been spotted as suckpet that states *Keep, this article is an autobiography and has gone so far to involve other users to keep the Article.
 * Delete per all of the above (except the "Keep" voters). GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 09:57, 13 September 2020 (UTC)
