• Delete - His material is self-released on the usual streaming platforms and he has achieved no significant and reliable media notice. As a Nigerian-American with ties to the old country, he has figured out how to use Nigeria's gossipy and unreliable media outlets that reprint promo announcements. When any of those have a headline like "a Rising Star With Growing Taste For Greatness" (currently ref #2) you know that reliable music journalists wouldn't stoop to such peacockery. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 21:24, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - per WP:RSNG some the sources are reliable, such as Independent 1, Independent 2, Tribune, and The Sun.Darkm777 (talk) 02:45, 28 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete - total lack of coverage where we'd expect it, so we can't verify the subject. The subject lives in DC, a city where journalists are prom royalty, but there's no local coverage of the subject, nor coverage of touring that we look for in WP:NBAND. Many legitimate musicians today find themselves having to pay and work hard to produce and tour, often because they're in marginal musical genres like classical, jazz, blues, and folk. I'm thinking of musical artists as diverse as Cecile Licad, Ben Thomas, and Billy Stritch. Bearian (talk) 09:45, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
