Fails WP:GNG. Searching for him brings up nothing but one or two passing mentions, as well as a ton of ‘free download mp3’ sites, neither of which can be used. The one place that went into depth about him was this. However, it appears to be a blog with no information about ‘Big JM’, who authored the post. We have no way to tell if this person is a subject matter expert. No viable sources. ◇HelenDegenerate◆ 20:55, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete article should have never been created. Catfurball (talk) 22:21, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment Unsure if it's the same person, he's mentioned in several sites as an actor in the Oscars submission, for example here: [1]. That's just a name drop, but I think if it's the same person, could be notable. Oaktree b (talk) 22:39, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The film got some international notice, but this guy is just one member of the cast. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:40, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete then. Non-notable music career. We can revisit if the film wins the Oscar and his career blows up. Oaktree b (talk) 21:30, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Fails WP:GNG. BoyTheKingCanDance (talk) 02:19, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete . Fails WP:NBAND he just released his first EP, so this is likely WP:TOOSOON for him. --hroest 02:44, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• check this artis out on any social media, and you'll see that all informations on this Article about him are facts 102.244.178.16 (talk) 10:17, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  Yes, but social media doesn't meet the notability requirements here in Wikipedia. Oaktree b (talk) 16:29, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Deleted: Fails WP:NSINGER and WP:ENT. Hey man im josh (talk) 17:33, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - He has a few credits, but as is usual for attempted WP articles on beginners in the African music scene, he has not moved beyond his own social media and unreliable gossip sites that repeat his management's promotional blurbs. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 19:44, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Does not meet WP:NMUSIC; sources do not show notability. Eagleash (talk) 10:06, 8 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - Doesn't seem to really have any individual coverage. If he was in a band, it might not be as big of a concern, but as a solo act, it has to be a major concern.KatoKungLee (talk) 17:05, 9 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Draftify I have personally contributed to the recent state of the article but encountered some issues getting references to use, whereas the subject does not meet the required minimum Wikipedia notability, he is an actor with a crucial role in a movie that was nominated for Oscars award, perhaps e his works are more notable than himself hence when put in the draft space and given time, It may meet wikipedia notability Africanaz (talk) 12:32, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete The page may have been created a little too prematurely. I attempted to find more sources for the article and was also unsuccessful. He has the potential to become notable, but he's not currently.MiddleOfAfrica (talk) 22:47, 11 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The article subject doesn’t meet WP:NMUSIC. Would be open to Africanaz saving the page in user space, however. Shawn Teller (talk) 17:18, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  No interest in saving it in my user pace given its limited notability in regards to the Wikipedia Foundation terms. Even the Oscars are done without the movie The Planter's Plantation where he played a good role with his music used being mentioned. I don't think there will be more required notability within the coming 6 months. Africanaz (talk) 18:49, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  So @Shawn

  I thinknit is deleting it that is required at Wiki requirements untill such a time when it is due for inclusion Africanaz (talk) 18:53, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  May be it should be put in Iamakisah User space as he is the article original author(Initiator) Africanaz (talk) 19:03, 13 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
