Fails WP:MUSICBIO, WP:COMPOSER and WP:GNG. Almost all the sources are either promotional, puff pieces or unreliable. Ibjaja055 (talk) 20:53, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Note from the previous AfD (about a year and a half ago) that articles on this singer were rejected in the Draft system multiple times, but somebody snuck it into mainspace anyway. This has happened again and little has changed for the singer. Still an up-and-comer with material on the standard self-upload platforms and publicity announcements reprinted by the usual non-critical Nigerian hype publications. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:25, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Is this a HOAX? He had an article in 2008, but only began singing in 2015 and now in 2023? If he's not made any notability in the nearly 20 years since the first AfD, I'm not sure what else there is to say. Releasing music on a streaming platform isn't notable. Source used aren't RS or very marginal. Oaktree b (talk) 21:29, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The 2008 AfD was for someone else with a similar name, listed at the top of this page due to an apparent glitch. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:31, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

ok thanks for the explanation. I still don't see notability. Oaktree b (talk) 23:25, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Alternative hip-hop is still a relatively niche genre in Nigeria, with only about 5-10% of the population listening to Nigerian artists in this space. In comparison, the genre has a much larger following in the United States, where about 40-50% of listeners are into alternative hip-hop. From the research I’ve done, artists like Odumodu Blvck, Favi, and Psycho YP are among the ones really standing out in this scene. Given the growing attention they’re receiving from respected Nigerian sources, I believe they meet the notability guidelinesWP:GNG and are well-covered by reliable references WP:NG/RS Jellymanpro (talk) 01:30, 18 January 2025 (UTC) Sock strike.

Delete: No evidence of passing WP:COMPOSER, WP:MUSICBIO or WP:ANYBIO. Sources are mostly music release and public relations. A cursory search yields nothing useful. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:28, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
