 * Comment The author stated he is working on the article. I commented on his talk page that it could be userfied, and would support that if he requests it, noting that he would still have to show notability when moved back to article space. (GregJackP (talk) 15:28, 25 February 2010 (UTC))

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Relisting due to lack of participation and the fact that the article's creator removed the deletion notice the same day it was added, and it was only just now restored. Beeblebrox (talk) 19:49, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep My initial thought was to redirect to Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra ensuring that the pertinent information was merged, however Lugo has done some notable producing and management work outside of his band, so it's not really a viable option. From WP:MUSIC "Note that members of notable bands are redirected to the band's article, not given individual articles, unless they have demonstrated individual notability for activity independent of the band". Lugo's work has been included on a large amount of compilations, he appears to be an important figure in the Afrobeat genre and the article is fairly neutral and sourced.--Jezebel's Ponyo shhh 20:16, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete If he is a leader in the Afrobeat genre how come people aren't writing about him in Afrobeat articles in newspapers and magazines? Fails WP:ENT and WP:MUSIC.  Listing the recordings from Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra in his article is slightly misleading. Ray Lugo is not Fela Anikulapo-Kuti.  I am not even sure that the Kokolo Afrobeat Orchestra is a leader in Afrobeat revival. --Bejnar (talk) 22:32, 5 March 2010 (UTC)
