Non notable musician. Fails WP:NMUSIC Ceethekreator (talk) 09:22, 10 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

This is a notable musician and does meet at least one of the criteria for notable musicians and ensembles. I feel that this article can be kept on Wikipedia. It just needs updating and improvement. This musician is very well recognized where he is from in Eswatini and is one of the first public figures from the country to have success and coverage outside of his home country. He has been covered in some reliable published sources online as well. So this article can definitely be improved to include more reliable sources.

Comment – If this article is deleted so should Tendaness (album). StaticVapor message me! 00:58, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - A commenter above is correct that Tendaness has been noticed by the press in his home country eSwatini (FKA Swaziland) [1] and the hip hop press worldwide, but those notices are sparse. It might be too soon for an article but there might also be enough for a viable stub now. However, the current version of the article is severely padded with social media junk that should be removed, and more sources are needed on the awards at the bottom of the article (here's one: [2]). ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:23, 12 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. A Google search of him doesn't show him being discussed in reliable sources. The awards he won are not notable. It appears that the subject is an up-and-coming DJ. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 01:01, 13 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
