Ref bombing in order to create a false sense of notability whereas in actuality & having performed a before search I observed almost all sources are mere announcements on his release of a new music or sponsored posts. Subject doesn’t satisfy either WP:GNG or any criterion from WP:MUSICBIO. Celestina007 (talk) 21:47, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: According to WP:GNG "If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be suitable for a stand-alone article or list". A meticulous review of the sources will show that the subject has received massive coverage from almost all national dallies in Nigeria and the subject discussed in-depth. It is also worthy to note that when Nigerian musicians release new songs media houses publish same without remuneration.

Also going by WP:MUSICBIO guidelines that "Musicians or ensembles (this category includes bands, singers, rappers, orchestras, DJs, musical theatre groups, instrumentalists, etc.)" maybe notable if they Have had a single or album on any country's national music chart. The subject's single "For the Gram" made top 10 Alternative Nigerian Chart by OlisaTV, one of the leading media houses in Nigeria.Chimaezeogoegbunam (talk) 10:52, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Chimaezeogoegbunam, so could you be so kind as to provide to this AFD the reliable sources you say shows subject satisfy WP:GNG? & furthermore what exactly are you talking about? What criterion exactly from WP:MUSICBIO does subject of article satisfy? Celestina007 (talk) 14:27, 23 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Due to failing to pass WP:MUSICBIO since all the sources are trivial passing mentions. I'm not sure if charting on OlsiaTV would qualify for WP:MUSICBIO, but my instinct says it wouldn't. Although, maybe it's something that be brought up at Wikiproject music or something. In the meantime, this is a clear delete IMO though. --Adamant1 (talk) 20:14, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I concur with nom. Article does not give any claim of significance and the sources are all either announcements or based around quotes from the subject. Does not satisfy WP:MUSICBIO or WP:NBIO. -Lopifalko (talk) 20:44, 25 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
