WP:BLP of a musician, who has no strong claim to passing our notability standards for musicians and no strong reliable source coverage to get him over WP:GNG. The only notability claim even being attempted here is that he's released a bunch of singles -- there's no indication of any albums, or chart success for the songs, or notable music awards, or anything else that would actually pass NMUSIC. And the sourcing is more or less garbage as well: three of the five footnotes are to non-notability-assisting streaming platforms (YouTube, Last.fm and something called MaGbedu) -- and while AllMusic is a more reliable source in theory, in this case one of those two citations is to a discography of his singles which includes no editorial content at all -- no biography of him, no reviews of the singles -- and the other just "verifies" his birthdate and literally nothing else. So those aren't notability-assisting sources in this instance, as they offer no substance. As always, every musician is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because he exists -- he has to have a notability claim that passes NMUSIC and quality RS coverage to support it, but neither of those conditions are met here at all.

- Delete. No evidence has been provided so far that brings this artist anywhere remotely near WP:NMUSIC or WP:GNG.
- However, I am not familiar with Nigerian news sources, so I am open to changing my !vote if substantial coverage in reliable sources appears. Please ping me if something is found. --BrownHairedGirl (talk) • (contribs) 19:58, 4 November 2018 (UTC)
- Delete. Quite hard to Google, but so far nothing provided has proved he meets WP:NMUSIC. -- Softlavender (talk) 08:30, 5 November 2018 (UTC)

- Delete – not up to WP:NMUSIC standards. Bradv 19:50, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
- Strong Delete. This artist completely fails WP:MUSICBIO. There’s no reliable or independent sources to proof the subject being notable. Is Nutin 05:22, 11 November 2018 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Soltesh (talk • contribs)
