Keep well cited article with strong references. Close this talk. AlikotoSam (talk) 17:54, 1 May 2017 (GMT) — AlikotoSam (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Which one of the references you think is Strong? - Mar11 (talk) 18:33, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Those from ghanaweb.com and modernghana.com. Check and see.— Preceding unsigned comment added by AlikotoSam (talk • contribs) 19:02, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Neither the modernghana reference [1] nor any of the ghanaweb references [2], [3], [4] in the article mentions Ntelabi. If he is in there under a different name, it is a trivial mention, nohing that approaches significant coverage. --bonadea contributions talk 19:54, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I think there has been a name change of a sort from Drilix to Ntelabi. Is there a way this could be rectified other than deletion? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlikotoSam (talk • contribs) 20:48, 1 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Looking at the four ghanaweb/modernghana sources again, one is irrelevant since it's there as a reference for another person; the three remaining sources consist of two trivial mentions (mentioning Ntelabi/Drilix in a list of people) and one review that seems to be more substantial, until we look at the source for the review. Ill Haven Records is Ntelabi's own record label, so that is a review written by himself (or somebody working for the label). Sorry, but notability just is not shown, yet. Once he becomes notable enough, somebody who is not afiliated with him will probably create an article about him. --bonadea contributions talk 09:15, 8 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Addition to the above: the review has been published in a few different places, and this modernghana link reveals that it's Ntelebi's manager who is the author of the review. That means it is a primary source, and those never count towards notability. --bonadea contributions talk 08:48, 10 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What about the other references? Are they all irrelevant now? — Preceding unsigned comment added by AlikotoSam (talk • contribs) 18:22, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - nothing but trivial mentions. Fails WP:NMUSIC and WP:GNG.Onel5969 ^{TT me} 11:41, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable, failing WP:NMUSIC. Ifnord (talk) 15:52, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Let's make this easy on the closer. Kick back to Draft with a time limit of months to improve. Hyperbolick (talk) 18:50, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: It looks like deleting would be easier on the closer, because there is clear consensus to delete. I concur with the other votes, this fails notability criteria. Waggie (talk) 20:02, 11 May 2017 (UTC)[reply]
