 * Oppose: Ruger is notable enough to meet NSINGER. Having released 2 EP's under 2 major labels (Columbia Records/Jonzing World). Debuted on TurnTable chart, with "Bounce", and "Dior". Got Nominated twice at 2021 AFRIMA and the 7th edition of the AEAUSA Awards. Notability guideline passes.--Afí-afeti (talk) 19:01, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - Agreeing with Afí-afeti here. U683708 (talk) 21:49, 7 January 2022 (UTC)


 * In what term?, cause the subject itself fails WP:GNG. Ruger would have been classified WP:Toosoon, meeting this guideline NSINGER; pass it. Making it eligible but not an assurance to be on Wikipedia main space, till reliable source is established. --Afí-afeti (talk) 22:39, 7 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment The Guardian - Is not independent of the subject, but we can consider. Vanguardngr - Not in neutral tone/not independent of the subject fails WP:NEUTRAL. Pulseng1, Pulseng2, Pulseng3 - Many Paid articles written about the subject by the same editor MOTOLANI ALAKE, WP:NPOV. [Officialcharts] - Can consider this. Panafricanmusic - no significant coverage. Okayafrica - Not independent of the subject. Bellanaija - WP:NPOV. DMySon (talk) 14:52, 8 January 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: to further discuss the sources Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  19:18, 15 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi, I wouldn’t say it a paid editorial work, cause MOTOLANI ALAKE is one of the popular entertainment contributors on Pulse Nigeria. He is one of the author who is active on the platform when it comes to reviews on albums and eps. Check most of the Wikipedia Nigeria album projects. Also Mavins is big enough to have the media, watching them closely. Jonzing World is a subsidiary of Mavin, I believe same thing applies to Jonzing, knowing fully well Ruger, and Rema record “Bounce” did some numbers in 2021.--Afí-afeti (talk) 17:56, 8 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Correct me if I'm wrong but the GNG does not comment on the neutrality of sources. It says in WP:BIASED that Therefore, the above sources cannot be discounted.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Keep Per my comment above and sources identified above.  Princess of Ara  18:31, 16 January 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep per the sources added and the AFRIMA (?) award, but the article needs a rewrite. He started singing at a tender age? Please use a more neutral, formal tone of writing. Oaktree b (talk) 02:38, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
