Yet another article on a musician who has done literally nothing notable to pass WP:NMUSICIAN. Sources from here and a cursory search suggests nothing useful. They're either interviews with the subject, or routine coverages that are entirely dependent on the subject. This is, as usual, a properly written article from the author on a non-notable musician to pretend notability. Also, the TurnTable Certification System of Nigeria is dubious in its entirety.

Delete: Most of the sources are either puff pieces that are meant to confer notability on him or interviews. Ibjaja055 (talk) 21:17, 12 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: Has written more than one major hit record, automatically meets WP:COMPOSER, just like a scriptwriter or director who has directed multiple award-winning movies. Even if he doesn't pass GNG, but passes WP:FILMS, he automatically establishes notability. Likewise he passes WP:ANYBIO, with a special recognition from The Recording Academy as a composer. One last thing, I would say the coverage for example [1], [2], [3], [4], [5], add up to a GNG pass, with an extensive list of production and songwriting credits from "No Girlfriend No Problem", "Away", "One Side", "Yawa No Dey End", "My Baby", and many more.--Afí-afeti (talk) 09:35, 13 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Afi-Afeti, he doesn't meet WP:NMUSICIAN but he does meet WP:COMPOSER. History6042😊 (Contact me) 16:01, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: Afí-afeti presented a very compelling argument. The reliability of some of the sources are questionable but the album nomination for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards can be verfied easily which at least means he meets the notability criteria at least as a composer.

  @FuzzyMagma I’m sorry, but I do not see and cannot comprehend how having a Grammy nom (and not win) helps this subject to pass WP:COMPOSER. There’s absolutely nothing that implies an NCOMPOSER pass here. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:14, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep Per point presented by Fuzzymama and Afi-Afeti Tesleemah (talk) 13:13, 26 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep He gained international recognition for co-writing Davido's Grammy-nominated fourth studio album Timeless, which earned him a special recognition from The Recording Academy as a composer. That satisfies criteria 1 for WP:COMPOSER. -Ad Orientem (talk) 04:45, 1 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
