I disagree, as far I read: He fullfills at least 4 of the criteria needed to meet notability. 1) Has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent from the musician or ensemble itself.[note 1]
This criterion includes published works in all forms, such as newspaper articles, books, magazine articles, online versions of print media, and television documentaries[note 2] except for the following: Any reprints of press releases, other publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves, and all advertising that mentions the musician or ensemble, including manufacturers' advertising.[note 3] Works consisting merely of trivial coverage, such as articles that simply report performance dates, release information or track listings, or the publications of contact and booking details in directories. Articles in a school or university newspaper (or similar), in most cases.
2) Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart.[note 4] Single 2AM charted st 104 on the pop and 29 on the RnB chart mentioned on Sage the Gemini's page - see citation /info/en/?search=Sage_the_Gemini
12) Has been a featured subject of a substantial broadcast segment across a national radio or TV network.
4) Has received non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an international concert tour, or a national concert tour in at least one sovereign country.[note 5]

Especially since it's been requested, more information and links on the artist will be added in due time. If that's not enough, there is more.

Update:
There are such things as article stubs on Wikipedia as far as I have seen. If the information was deemed to little it could stubbing an article would have made more sense. This is an open encylopedia subject to change it's normal to assume the addition of information. Generally articles on new artists tend to be smaller because they are about a NEW ARTIST, the information on the artist is still rolling out, I've seen this happen countless times on this website. The nominator admitted that no research was done before the article was selected for deletion. That's poor practice. If more information is needed then articles should be nominated for more information to be added not for deletion. The unanimous opinion is the error was predominately on the part of the nominator. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ugochinyerem ( talk • contribs) 18:44, 17 September 2014 (UTC)
