Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Terri (Musician)

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was delete. The single keep !vote concedes that there insufficient online sources to make out notability, but does not point to any offsite sources that could assist, and also resorts to WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. The arguments made by the three delete !votes respecting a lack of sources to support WP:N stand unrebutted. Steve Smith (talk) 00:06, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Subject of the article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources hence doesn’t satisfy per GNG. Furthermore a WP:BEFORE I just conducted shows subject is very much non notable & is currently still an up and coming artist. Subject doesn’t also seem to satisfy WP:SINGER. A glance at the sources presented in the article are mere announcements of the subject releasing new music. Celestina007 (talk) 22:58, 26 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep the subject is currently notable in nigeria, he may not have enough online coverage but offsite he's well known in nigeria as a musician, this subject is signed to Starboy Entertainment, only artiste signed by Wizkid, arguably the biggest afrobeats musician in Nigeria, there alot of Nigeria musicians on wikipedia that have same coverage and notability rate as his.Amosflash (talk)

Delete per WP:TOOSOON. If you hang around the Bands/Musicians AfD page long enough, you will see many articles on up-and-coming Nigerian musicians that look suspiciously similar. Here young Terri follows the usual path: a whole bunch of short media notices in publications that reprint press releases in that country, such as "Pulse" and "Guardian" (which is not the reliable British newspaper). This Wikipedia article is part of that same publicity push. He has not yet received reliable press coverage that actually reviews his works with a critical eye. Good luck to him but he is not yet eligible for Wikipedia. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 21:59, 28 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete We do not keep articles because of unsourced claims of "he is well known". Show us sources, they do not have to be online but they need to be both reliable and independent of the subject.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:13, 29 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
