The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The OkayAfrica source is the only reliable independent source I could find that discusses the subject. One reliable source is not enough to establish notability. None of the songs released by the artist charted on reliable charts, despite the article stating that some of his songs charted on the Billboard world album chart. Both the Africa and Playdata charts are not reliable.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 02:13, 10 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete no more notable today than he was back in June of 2016.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:19, 20 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep His page's currently lack reliable sources but here is one i found on OkayAfrica which discuss the subject [1]. He may not have be nominated for one of does A-list awards in Nigeria like The Headies but he was nominated for 2016 "Top Naija Music Awards" which is know as a B-list award in Nigeria that has nominated so many A-list act.. It's a keep from me, the artist may not have meet criteria 8 fully but i think the article deserve to be kept cause i have a believe more reliable source are coming; an so far he has been recognize for his one time breakthrough single "Hola Hola" which currently hit 1.2 million views on YouTube, so i think we should keep the article an help in improving it, it may be hard trying to improve this article because the name "Sugarboy" is a topic of many, but i believe we should give it a try.--Obari2Kay (talk) 12:15, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Obari2Kay: You really need to read WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO before you create another article or participate in another AFD discussion. Being nominated for a non-notable award or receiving "millions" or views on YouTube are not legitimate reasons for a topic to be kept. None of what you said shows the subject being notable for stand-alone inclusion. As a matter of fact, you have failed to make a case for the subject.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 22:15, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Delete. Maybe in the future this subject will be notable, but I don't see any convincing evidence that's the case now. Nor was it at the last AFD. I cannot see what criterion of WP:MUSICBIO is met. ~Anachronist (talk) 21:24, 26 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
