Delete — doesn’t satisfy our general notability guidelines. Celestina007 (talk) 22:13, 2 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO; none of the songs ha has produced are notable. I could not find coverage of him in reliable sources after conducting a Google search. He has bee nominated for two non-notable music awards, although one of them have a separate article. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:43, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@ Versace1608 , what are your basis for calling Ghana DJ Awards and Ghana Music Awards UK non-notable ?? Geezygee (talk) 14:53, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - at the moment the subject does not seem to meet notability standards. Dunarc (talk) 18:41, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - He received some notice for being nominated for a Ghana DJ Award, but merely among lists of other nominees with no specific coverage. His own works have the same problem and can only be found in the typical streaming and self-promotional services. No significant coverage to meet the notability requirements. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (Talk|Contribs) 15:17, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - a nominee for two major music awards qualifies to be on Wikipedia per WP:MUSICBIO. Geezygee (talk) 14:50, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I don't think the awards are notable per wikipedia's standards, and certainly do not meet music industry standards as major awards. Per their own website, they are identified thus: "The Ghana DJ Awards was created to celebrate and appreciate the talents of Disc Jockeys (DJs) who promote Ghana music. The Awards is an exciting annual program designed to foster the development of the Ghana music industry by rewarding and celebrating Radio, Mobile and Club Disc Jockeys who have excelled in their fields of endeavor." In other words, an organize that exists to promote an entity are using awards to call attention to their mission (not uncommon for many organizations to do this very thing) but it's not a competitive award where peers nominate and vote on peers, which is normally necessary to be looked at as significant. And even then, this is merely a nomination. Otherwise, coverage is weak. ShelbyMarion (talk) 16:30, 5 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
