Waconzy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Another Nigerian upcoming artist, struggling to be notable. Subject of the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. None of the sources provided is close to what we considered as reliable sources in Nigeria. The sources provided are either blogs or cheap website with no editorial control or oversight.

 * Keep The article meets criterias 8, and 11 of MUSICBIO. Per the aforementioned criteria, "A musician or ensemble (note that this includes a band, singer, rapper, orchestra, DJ, musical theatre group, instrumentalist, etc.) may be notable if it meets at least one of the following criteria". Since Wanconzy meets two criterias of  MUSICBIO, he is notable enough to be included on Wikipedia. Also, the sources cited in the article are independent of him. Lastly, the artist's debut music video has more views on YouTube than establish artists like M Trill, Slim Burna, Young Stunna, Duncan Mighty, May7ven etc.--Bello96 (talk) 15:58, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * The low profile musician is not in anyway close to passing either criteria 8 or 11. By the way, which notable award do you think he won to pass criteria 8? I'd like to mention that I'm also considering Young Stunna for deletion on the same rationale. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 16:20, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
 * This awards are notable in Rivers State including the awards Young Stunna is been nominated for.... I guess You know The Headies really well because you are based in Lagos and their Television channel (Hip Tv) is on DSTV that why they make waves outside their zone which is Lagos State.... That does not mean they are no other awards in the country which are notable to.... Check out Nosa Wikipedia that does not mean you should nominate it for deletion all because you have no ideal about an award, all you have to do as and Article writer is to do your research first.... that what makes a good Wikipedia writer..... An quote me right not wrong He is not a low profile Musician--Bello96 (talk) 16:58, 14 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Which of the criteria of WP:MUSICBIO?. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 20:16, 14 November 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete for now perhaps until a better and notable article is made as the coverage is simply not convincingly enough. SwisterTwister   talk  07:18, 15 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep The article meets criterias 8 of MUSICBIO and the award is notable City People Entertainment Awards and also performed at City People Entertainment Awards in 2011 --Bello96 (talk) 09:54, 16 November 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep:The name "Waconzy" generally rings a bell to me. I just did a quick search, and there are quite a load of sources out there.--Jamie Tubers (talk) 02:22, 21 November 2015 (UTC)
 * Please, where are the load of sources that establish his notability?. Are you talking about those sources with no editorial control or oversight? Only independent reliable sources can establish notability. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 22:54, 22 November 2015 (UTC)
