WP:BLP of a musician, not reliably sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The strongest notability claim here is that he won a minor music award, referenced solely to the award's own self-published website rather than any evidence of media coverage about it -- but NMUSIC #8 requires major awards on the order of Grammys or Brits that get media coverage, not just any random music award that exists. And other than that, the only other sources here are his own self-published content on Deezer and a user-generated PR platform, not the reliable source coverage in real media independent of himself that it takes to pass WP:GNG.

 * Strong Delete No fans, no plays, no social media coverage. Nothing on Soundcloud, Spotify and so. Completely obscure. Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:MUSICBIO. And they're is no coverage, hence the terribe references. They are in a shocking state.   scope_creep Talk  20:10, 11 December 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment base on our Notable Wikipedia, VODAFONE GHANA MUSIC AWARDS  is  the only  Major  Awards     that exist in  GHANA ... there  is NO orther , as long as VODAFONE GHANA MUSIC AWARDS , is NOTABLE and relevant  ; he passes Requirement #8 at WP:NMUSICIAN wish says that the person could be notable if they won a major award.

 * Yes, but there must other coverage to satisfy WP:BIO and WP:SIGCOV. It a BLP. He can be a really obscure person who won an award, but without coverage there is no articles, and there is no coverage.   scope_creep Talk  23:32, 11 December 2020 (UTC)


 * Comment one of the Wikipedia Notability guildlines  or RULES has been meet, NOTABILITY FOUND :: NO MORE ARGUMENT ,  here is media coverege   Samat lib (talk) 09:23, 12 December 2020 (UTC)
 * You cannot make a person notable by referencing content to (a) other Wikipedia articles, (b) blogs, (c) the self-published websites of organizations directly affiliated with the claim, or (d) directory entries — which wipes out every single source you've tried to provide in this discussion. To make a person notable, you have to reference the content to real journalist-written articles published in real media, not primary sources or blogs. Bearcat (talk) 16:11, 16 December 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete - some keep arguments show a clear lack of understanding of what major music awards are. This particular artist fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.  Onel 5969  TT me 20:55, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
