- Delete: Critically fails WP:NCREATIVE or WP:GNG, utterly nonsense and promotional article that serves no purpose whatsoever than to promote the subject. No credible claim of importance. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 19:30, 14 July 2024 (UTC)

- Speedy Keep : as per nomination by various editors in terms of the same GNG Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Yung Miraboi Mark (2nd nomination). Clean up is just required which I would be contributing later due to my time schedule. In 2021 appeared at the Ghana national TV as a musician with one of his top song featuring Peruzzi [1]and no longer do music. In 2022, he was dragged by Nigerians for a political act [2] further details nomination 2 can be cited [3]. Nominator 2 has also been a block user for 4 years now I just noticed that. Theirs no point AFD nominator replying. Look forward to other editors as I will be busy. --Gabriel (talk to me ) 00:45, 15 July 2024 (UTC)

- Keep : Passes WP:SIGCOV.--Afí-afeti (talk) 00:57, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
- You need to explain how it meets WP:SIGCOV; the sources are promotional and bears the subject's quotes like "how I am being motivated by God–Miraboi", etc. Safari ScribeEdits! Talk! 19:29, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. The sourcing is kind of ridiculous -- a Commons photo purporting to be an award he received is not a reliable source -- and what in-depth coverage exists appears to be tabloid coverage, which, per WP:SBST is not WP:SIGCOV. Other sources appear to be WP:INTERVIEWs and thus ineligible as primary sources. Even though many sources appear in major Nigerian news outlets, the nature of the coverage limits their use to qualify for WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. (I see no evidence he meets any criterion under WP:CREATIVE.) Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:46, 21 July 2024 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Delete: Interviews and him giving money to charity aren't the kind of sourcing we're looking for. More of the typical Nigerian media hype for an otherwise non-notable individual. I don't see anything here we can use. Oaktree b (talk) 03:16, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete - The sources are standard Nigerian pay-to-play websites that look like newspapers but actually reprint promotional releases. Note the frequent weasel words, while some are written in the first person. Those were meant to promote this guy's music and business but none count as reliable sources. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 13:21, 22 July 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: Mostly sourced interviews and run-on-the-mill publications. They do not meet the general notability standards. Best, Reading Beans 23:59, 25 July 2024 (UTC)
