Semi-advertorialized WP:BLP of a musician, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. As always, musicians are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because their music exists, and have to show passage of certain specific achievement-based criteria -- but the attempted notability claim here is that he "gained exposure" with a single from his debut EP just last year, which isn't enough in and of itself: since absolutely any song that exists at all can be claimed to have "gained exposure" for its creator, NMUSIC requires actual quantifiable markers of how much "exposure" was gained, such as verifiable chart positions on an IFPI-certified chart, verifiable playlisting on a national radio network, verifiable music award wins or nominations, etc.
But no such achievements are present here at all, and the article just talks about what he hopes to achieve in the future instead of documenting any markers of achievement he's already attained -- and given the longstanding WP:NEWSORGNIGERIA problem, we can't extend him passage of WP:GNG on number of footnotes alone, if the footnotes aren't documenting anything that would clearly satisfy NMUSIC.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when he has a stronger notability claim, but the existence of one EP isn't enough all by itself. Bearcat (talk) 16:02, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
