Fails WP:GNG and WP:ENT there is only one reliable secondary source "allafrica" the others are either primary sources or blogs. the tags were placed in the beginning of November and nothing has been done to improve the article's sources and prove notability.

- Delete . Allafrica is a news aggregator website and even then the subject doesn't have even a tinge of coverage in reliable sources to show notability. Kansiime (chat) 00:04, 25 January 2017 (UTC)
- Weak keep The subject is a well known radio disc jockey in his native country. From what I could gathered from the sources cited below, the subject owns a radio station and helped set up the Liberian Music Awards. I was able to find local coverage of him in The Daily Observer and The Bush Chicken. He also received a mention in this BBC piece about Ebola. The Liberian Journal also mentioned him in this 2016 article. Moreover, he has received coverage for reportedly ordering a radio show off air, as well as putting together a video mix to promote local artists in Liberia.

- Keep 45 hits in NewsBank (no false hits, but 5 are duplicates). Regular coverage in Liberian Observer (as noted by Versace1608) both for music and a few political interventions (Henry Costa controversy and Takun J candidacy). Featured on NPR's All Things Considered (starts at 2:00 minutes). Identified as famous and a key mover in the music scene in Liberia. I'd love a good bio as much as anyone else, but the regular coverage and significant mentions make this a good case for Keep. AbstractIllusions (talk) 19:28, 10 February 2017 (UTC)
