 * Keep It meets @Samat lib the article has reliable sources. I went to do my research on the Enorecords LLC managing director, which you nominated the Enorecords LLC for delete. I learnt that the Winning Jah article has been previously deleted in 2017 and i requested the admin if i could write it, which they agreed. How do you mean self promotions? Why are you always against any Nigerian article that i write with reliable sources?  I was asked to write it with admin consents, what did i write about him that seems promotional?NOTICE501 (talk) 16:48, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - If the article is kept, its title should be changed ("moved" in WP parlance) so it does not include "Nigeria King of Reggae" because that is just a nickname that he seems to have given himself. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:01, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * The only reason the credit creator added “Nigerian King of Reggea” was to get around a salted topic. —Kbabej (talk) 05:48, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * You're right. I did not notice that there have been previous articles called simply "Winning Jah", but I'm not surprised either. Salting would be a good idea here, but its tough to foresee what variations of the guy's name will be used in future attempts. If the same user or IP address is behind all of them, that person could be a candidate for blocking. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 14:41, 1 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete - I will admit that this is a close call, but despite what the previous voter said, the article is dependent on generally unreliable sources. With a close reading you can tell that publications like Vanguard merely repeat press releases form the musician's management. That's why they are friendly and non-critical, and use terms like "Superstar" that no objective music journalist would use. Also, the article looks like it has a lot of sources, but many are repeats. His AllMusic profile is just an empty placeholder, and so-called news about his statements on marijuana and starting his own religion are just puff pieces he put online himself. What makes this a "close call" is his nomination for an award from Amnesty International, but that was still only reported in the same friendly and unreliable sources. ---  DOOMSDAYER 520 (TALK&#124;CONTRIBS) 16:06, 31 January 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt. This article is the sixth iteration of this subject, and it still doesn’t meet notability requirements. —Kbabej (talk) 05:44, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * @, did you really just say sixth?? Then I’m changing my delete !vote to a delete and salt. Celestina007 (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete per Doomsdayer and Kbabej. GhostDestroyer100 (talk) 19:34, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt — Per, as usual their rationale is ever so accurate & apt. The Nigerian vanguard source is reliable but in the famous words of Doomsdayer520, a reliable source and a reliable piece aren’t one & the same. Per rationale by also. Celestina007 (talk) 20:05, 2 February 2021 (UTC)
