Second nomination following a first discussion that was closed no consensus due to a complete failure of anybody to participate in the discussion at all. This is still a WP:BLP of a musician, not properly sourced as having any strong claim to passing WP:NMUSIC. The only notability claim I can discern here is that he exists, and said existence is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability at all, such as his self-published social networking profiles and streaming platforms and online music stores -- and the only source that's actually independent or reliable just soundbites a brief quote from him in an article whose core subject is something else, which is not enough in either substance or volume to get him over WP:GNG all by itself if all of the sourcing around it is garbage. Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced much, much better than this. Bearcat (talk) 23:46, 11 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I agree with the nominator that the sources in the article are either unreliable or not significant and thus don't contribute to WP:GNG notability. Searching is difficult since I obviously don't speak Amharic, but I haven't been able to identify anything that would suffice under either the GNG or WP:NMUSIC. I'm always glad to reëvaluate if some significant coverage can be identified, but until then I'm thinking he isn't notable. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 00:48, 12 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete. No indication the subject meets WP:SINGER. Despite searching for references in the native language with the help of Google Translate, I didn't really come across any website that could plausibly be considered significant coverage. The references in the article certainly don't establish notability. ✗plicit 07:05, 26 November 2021 (UTC)[reply]
