Non-notable musician/singer. I can't find sourcing and being nominated for an ward with dubious notability doesn't help, not meeting GNG or MUSIC Oaktree b (talk) 00:33, 28 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment - As the curator of the page, I have thoroughly read through Wikipedia:Notability (music) and the article passes criterium 8 as a four-time nominee of a notable award scheme, Ghana Music Awards USA. The person also has publications on GhanaWeb, ModernGhana, Ameyaw Debrah, TV3 Ghana and News Ghana, a simple Google search proves it here.

• KEEP - Meets WP:MUSICBIO since he has award nomination in his own country, which also means he probably had radio airplay and chart ranking songs.Pershkoviski (talk) 02:33, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, doesn't seem to pass WP:GNG and WP:RS. -Xclusivzik (talk) 15:11, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and has not received significant coverage in reliable sources. The one song and extended play he has released has not been discussed in reliable sources. He has received multiple nominations for an award whose notability is questionable.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 16:32, 29 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:GNG and WP:RS. It's a bit WP:TOOSOON as well. -- Wesoree ^{(talk·contribs)} 16:53, 12 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete: BLP, fails GNG and BIO. If the award nominations are notable, their should be SIGCOV about the subject surrounding their nomination, but I see none, just routine annoucements in entertaimnet news. Ping me if someone adds new SIGCOV refs to the article. WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).  // Timothy :: talk  00:58, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
