Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Mr Eazi
I'm not familiar with sites from Nigeria and Ghana, but Pulse Nigeria seems to be a reliable news source, and it has nearly 1.5 million fans on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/pulsenigeria247. They published a short article precisely about the video interview that is mentioned on the talk page (which is embedded in the article): http://pulse.ng/buzz/mr-eazi-singer-talks-about-his-music-starboy-signing-and-more-on-the-juice-video-id5210862.html. It's a high-quality interview in terms of production, and it also contains snippets of two of his music videos, which look very professional, in my opinion. I would say the interview video is very significant coverage in a source that looks reliable to me, especially since the Pulse Nigeria article is about the video. But that alone is not enough coverage. 360Nobs.com appears to be another big entertainment news source in Nigeria, and this article https://www.360nobs.com/2016/06/video-jeed-rogers-ft-mr-eazi-timebad/ is interesting. Apparently Jeed Rogers is big in Nigeria, even though he doesn't have an article on Wikipedia. The article talks about a song in which Mr Eazi is a featured guest (you can watch the video - high quality), and it reads, "Mr Eazi has worked with some of the biggest names in the Ghana music industry, and has been receiving resultant buzz since he got signed to the Star-boy Worldwide. These two are just sensational together on this masterpiece." Another article from 360Nobs.com portrays Mr Eazi as a prominent artist https://www.360nobs.com/2016/06/video-mr-eazi-ft-sarkodie-anointing/. The video embedded in that article has received nearly half a million views in less than a month, on Mr Eazi's channel. That's impressive. GhanaWeb also seems reliable (all of these sources have been used a lot for Wikipedia articles), and the subject is briefly mentioned here http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Mr-Eazi-Hollup-ft-Joey-B-Dammy-Krane-Official-Video-446926. He hasn't released an EP yet but he seems to be notable anyway already. More from GhanaWeb http://www.ghanaweb.com/GhanaHomePage/entertainment/Mr-Eazi-drops-Hollup-video-445274. At least it has a bit more coverage than some other sources, but not great. Lots of useful information this time, again in Pulse Nigeria http://pulse.ng/music/mr-eazi-meet-the-naija-act-who-is-blowing-up-the-music-scene-in-ghana-id3531060.html. To me that's a key source for the Wikipedia article. Among other things, notice that it says "Pipi Dance" went on to be played on radio massively in Ghana. So perhaps he meets criterion 11 of . And "If you are conversant with the music scene in Ghana, then the name Mr. Eazi shouldn't be new." So this guy seems to be a new sensation in Ghana! Anyway, keep the nomination open. If these sources (and others that other editors might find) are deemed reliable and the article is kept, they can be used to strengthen the article
