Subject of the article fails WP:MUSICBIO and WP:GNG. I can't find any evidence of notability. We usually don't use Wikipedia as sources Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 22:42, 28 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - Sources exist outside of Wikipedia - all through the article. Additional examples [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6]

  • An artist winning a national award is notability and applies in this case. See The_Headies

Also meets criteria for being the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent of the musician or ensemble itself. As well as being placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network.

Also check and you will find other sources e.g. [9] [10] [11] [12] Blackmagic [13] [14] [15] Blackmagic - Repete [16] [17] Twitter verified [18] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tjsmart (talk • contribs) 14:07, 2 March 2016 (UTC) [reply]

  • I haven't voted yet, so shall do now. The main article relies too heavily on sources such as iTunes and Twitter, along with two I haven't heard of and appears to be riddled with viruses... (notjustok.com...??? tooxclusive.com???) As a result, notability cannot be asserted. Delete. Nordic Dragon 13:09, 18 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]


  • Comment The sites you refer to might be full of ads perhaps, but viruses? They are some of the leading "street" sources of artist updates in the country and are only a few of the sites provided.

Additional verifiable sources of information are provided that include National Nigerian publications. For example, Vanguardngr.com is a national publication in Nigeria. Pulse.ng for example is owned by Ringier Axel Springer which is hardly a non-verifiable organization. It would be safe to say reviewers outside the country would be unable to know all credible sources of information for Nigeria so kindly review all listed sources if need be, not just a few.

Some sources listed here again. [1] [2] [3] Blackmagic - Repete [4] [5]
