The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. None of the references cited in the article discuss him. As a matter, all of them are promotional links to the subject's music. A Google search of the subject doesn't bring up coverage in reliable sources. The award he is a recipient of is not notable. This lengthy review is from an unreliable source. None of the subject's albums or singles have been critically reviewed.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 23:54, 12 April 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Hi, kindly note ghanacelebrities is a notable site in Ghana which writes about celebrities and lifestyle. With the awards, WMA is a major award in Ghana hence the musician passes for GNG Kwamevaughan ( talk) 14:12, 13 April 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Kwamevaughan: Ghanacelebrities is not a reliable source; the website does not have an editorial oversight. Per this page, they promote artists and the artists' music on their site and on social media for a maximum fee of GH₵ 4700 ($1000 US dollars). Ghanacelebrities also offers advertising services. With regards to the Western Music Awards, a Google search of the ceremony doesn't show it having in-depth coverage. I was only able to find is announcements about previous editions.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 15:25, 13 April 2020 (UTC) reply

—- @ User:Versace1608 , the awards ceremony is relatively new as compared to other awards such as vgma and its in the same league as 4syte music awards and 3music awards. Kwamevaughan ( talk)

@ Kwamevaughan: First you said WMA is a major award in Ghana and after I challenged that assertion, you claimed it is "relatively new". I don't know what your definition of "relatively new" is, but I do not consider any awards ceremony with three previous editions held new. As it currently stands, there aren't any in-depth coverage of WMA available online. If you're going to keep your position, you will need to provide in-depth coverage to support it.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 17:47, 13 April 2020 (UTC) reply

== @ User:Versace1608 Hi, I looked yo the award ceremony and could get two independent articles on. Do have a look: http://233times.com/2017/05/made-in-tadis-review-of-western-music-awards-2017/ https://ghanandwom.net/western-music-awards-2017-launching/ Most of these write ups starting from the 2nd edition of the award program. Thanks Kwamevaughan ( talk)

@ Kwamevaughan: The sources you provided here are not reliable sources; they are self-published blog sources. If WMA is a "major" award in Ghana, why is there no coverage of it in any major Ghanaian newspaper? Per Wikipedia's reliable sources guideline, in-depth coverage needs to be published by scholarly and newspaper publications.  Versace1608  Wanna Talk? 20:13, 13 April 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Versace1608: There are publications in these newspapers. Do see below:
