*'''Delete'''. I can't find any [[WP:RS|reliable sources]]; this is all social media. Possibly someone familiar with the music scene in Ghana could find a printed source that hasn't made it to the Internet, but I don't see any evidence of [[WP:N|notability]] -- no assertion of anything that meets [[WP:MUSIC]].

:*'''Comment'''. I think that this guy probably doesn't meet our notability and/or verifiability standards. With that said, though, this has been a huge problem with West African popular music on Wikipedia for years (I've discussed it with others at least as far back as 2006) -- some of it is fairly well documented, but almost always just by blogs, social media pages, podcasts, and other sources that we couldn't possibly regard as reliable. So we end up just not covering popular West African music because nobody's discussing it in print. Unfortunately there doesn't seem to be any elegant solution to this situation.

The subject doesn't meet WP: A7. I googled this up and found no reliable sources. This is probably original research about a non-notable figure. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 21:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
- Note: This author wrote on the article's talk page that this is from his interview with the subject, so this is obvious original research. Electriccatfish2 (talk) 21:36, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
