Non-notable musician, no charted singles, no awards won. Gsearch goes straight to Youtube videos and streaming sites, with very low subscriber numbers, also an indication of non-notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:59, 9 June 2023 (UTC)

- Delete cannot find any sources that meet WP:GNG, current sources listed are their streaming pages and an unreliable source stating information about the person. Karnataka (talk) 16:54, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Unless the subject is a big star and only known in Ethiopia and we're all missing it because all the sourcing about him is in Amharic and other major Ethiopian languages, I can't find much of anything. When I find good hits, it's about Lady Gaga. I'm requesting here that people who can search for sources in Ethiopian languages to assist. Saucysalsa30 (talk) 21:26, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
- Add Didi Gaga is notable Ethiopian musician. Unfortunately, most of the sources related to him are written in Amharic language. Rather than hastily deleting, it would be better to focus on improving. For my part, I will try to improve the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ella Lachow (talk • contribs) 13:38, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Headed toward delete so far, but giving more time to see if anything comes from non-English sources.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, RL0919 (talk) 19:29, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete as no evidence of any notability, Fails SIGCOV & GNG. –Davey2010Talk 20:20, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. Amharic language sources have not been forthcoming. Barnards.tar.gz (talk) 21:19, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete, the only references are music providers. FatalFit | ✉ | ✓ 22:34, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
- Delete - I don't think it's worth waiting for Amharic sources. From what I can tell (though I could be wrong), many Ethiopian media sources have English editions with translations to Amharic and other regional languages, or vice-versa. If this musician is in any purely Amharic sources that have never been translated into English, that would mean that he has not broken into his country's mainstream (and reliable) media. Regardless, he seems to have no trouble uploading his own songs into all the usual self-promotional and streaming sites that do not operate in Amharic. And that is all he has so far. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 01:19, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
