BLP of a non notable businessman. Much of the coverage relates to a court case although this isn’t an attack page. Plenty of promotional coverage and not much else. Mccapra ( talk) 19:59, 8 September 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Keep Thanks all for your inputs, I quite don't agree on the part of the subject not being notable, media publications in various countries have their peculiarities, the subject is quite notable in his country Nigeria, I just added more reference sources to more recent publications made concerning the subject being recognized by three National youth organizations for his business achievements and youth development. These publications were made before the request for deletion. The subject's Music label has a verified page on Instagram and you and I know it's more easier to get a Wikipedia page than to be verified on Instagram. The article has nothing promotional other than just cited mentions of necessary contents that should make up a normal Wikipedia page. If there are areas anyone feel needs to be corrected, it can be pointed out for corrections rather than suggesting deletion. Thank you. Delords ( talk) 23:09, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Keep for reasons mentioned just above! Balle010 ( talk) 01:21, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete per WP:SIGCOV. Other than an alleged criminal case, there is nothing to report. He appears to be a very ordinary business person and musician/producer. Lots of people are locally famous, but don't meet our standards for notability. Bearian ( talk) 16:00, 14 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment I still support my keep request. More readings into some of the cited news sources tells he is not just an ordinary business person, he owns a group of different companies which are all doing well and runs an NGO. His music label was launched in 2004 and had some popular artists then under it's label and this was in a period when several news media in Nigeria only had a major focus on print media and not online, which is why you won't find much of that online. Out of current 29 references, about 22 of them were on other activity reports other than the said court case which has only 7 sources and I wonder why it became a basis for the deletion. There are other reliable reference sources that were not cited in the article. What works in other region must not always be the case in other regions. There are thousands of articles which won't level up to this, but were allowed on Wikipedia which makes me feel if there are any bias as to why this shouldn't be allowed. I am Nigerian and know more about what happens in Nigeria. Thank you. Delords ( talk) 18:44, 14 September 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Delords: you can comment as many times as you like but you can only !vote once. Could you please amend one of your contributions from “keep” to “comment”? Many thanks. Mccapra ( talk) 19:16, 14 September 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Mccapra: Oh, it's been corrected. Thank you for pointing that out. Delords ( talk) 20:26, 14 September 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Ret.Prof: Thank you for your kind input. Delords ( talk) 18:56, 15 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete — Having just looked at the first six sources used in the article I observed at least five are press releases and one blatantly lacks editorial oversight. I share similar concerns with Bearian, as truly there aren’t enough significant coverage in reliable sources for this article to fundamentally satisfy WP:GNG. Celestina007 ( talk) 19:20, 17 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Comment Thank you for your input @ Celestina007: Apart from the six sources, there are over twenty others available, most music labels don't sign Artists behind closed doors, it always draws media attentions and most media agencies work together on reports they make. I don't agree with you on lacking editorial oversight or less significant coverage. You can do your personal Google search on the subject and all cited sources are reliable and major sources which you know quite well. Thank you. Delords ( talk) 22:41, 19 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • Delete The person lacks the multiple in-depth reliable sources he would need to be notable. Maybe there are better sources out besides what is currently in the article, but unfortunately they all seem to be massively lacking and I couldn't find anything that would be usable when doing a search for him in Google, just more trivial and bad sources. -- Adamant1 ( talk) 07:02, 21 September 2020 (UTC) reply

  • Delete - not notable. Sources are not sufficient. -- IWI ( talk) 19:56, 23 September 2020 (UTC) reply
  • No Consensus: I have looked at the considerable references at the end of the article and am dumbfounded about why "they are not sufficient". It looks like we are not going to get consensus. - Ret.Prof ( talk) 13:40, 25 September 2020 (UTC) reply
Whatever your read of the sources is, as things currently stand theres six delete votes and three keep votes. Which sounds like a pretty clear consensus to delete the article. Its hard to see how anyone could interpret it any other way. Adamant1 ( talk) 15:22, 25 September 2020 (UTC) reply
@ Ret.Prof, I agree with what Adamant1 stated above, furthermore please strike out the No consensus entry you made & enter Comment instead so as to avoid any kind of confusion. Celestina007 ( talk) 14:08, 30 September 2020 (UTC) reply
