Does not meet WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Sources do not have significant independent coverage. I was unable to find anything better online––it seems that one of the subject's songs may charted in a local (Lagos) chart, but this does not meet the requirement of WP:MUSICBIO for the artist's work to be on a national music chart. Originally PRODed by me, endorsed by Elmidae, and then dePROD by the initial editor Preciousobichi who did not make any additional improvements or justifications. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 17:37, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Please i need more time to improve the article, would be glad if the article is sent to draft rather than deleted to afford me more time to work on the article. Thank you.Preciousobichi (talk) 18:58, 7 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

It seems odd to me that there are no Nigerian charts that are listed as acceptable sources on WP:MUSICBIO. For me, if an artist is charting in a country of ~200 million people, it is notable. Looking at the guidelines, there is a lot of western bias in them when it comes to charts and awards that can be used to establish notability. There are other criteria that can be used to establish notability as well, not just whether the artist is charting well. Perhaps Preciousobichi can provide sources to establish that Fii3rd meets one or more of the other criterea? I don't think citing lack of charting in this case makes a good argument against notability due to the subject being outside the bias of that criteria.
