The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He is an up-and-coming artist who is only known for his lawsuit against Tiwa Savage. The references cited in the article are not independent of the subject. Per WP:SINGLEEVENT, the subject does not deserve a separate article. His lawsuit against Savage isn't even notable for a separate article. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 20:22, 28 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Is WP:ONEEVENT and definitely doesn't pass WP:MUSICBIO. About the sources mentioned, Vanguard is just a press release while references from Guardian is a blog. Lunar Clock (talk) 11:21, 29 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

(Don't delete): i think if those Newspaper can published on a person, dou you as a writer have reference for that and I believe you know that right. If you can see as many article of Nigerians here in WP are referenced with those Newspapers you're just trying to categorized Mahn. (Lunar Clock) one thing I understand is that, anything doing as self wanted way is rubbish. So don't delete that page (Versace) you can put some (improvement tags) and I believe it will improved with time. Much regards (F5pillar 07:53, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@F5pillar: The newspaper sources cited in the article are not independent of the subject. In order for one to have a separate article, that person needs to be discussed in reliable sources independent of them. Danny Young is not a known figure in the Nigerian music industry. None of his music releases have been discussed in reliable sources. His lawsuit against Savage is the only thing he's known for. You really need to read WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO to get a thorough understanding of Wikipedia's notability criteria. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:29, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I have already known that of WP GNG and WP MUSICBIO since using (IP address) that of 2010, so nothing to tell me about those WPS Stuffs. What I'm trying to highlight here is this (*improvement tags, such as Notability, BLP sources, Catimprive, Grammar style) that's all. I don't know to confused you here but many of the WP Administrator are not hash and self wanted people. I know you are the page reviewer (Versace). Much respect (F5pillar 20:59, 31 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I couldn't find any significant coverage of Young aside from the lawsuit. None of the references demonstrate notability, and are mostly interviews which therefore fail WP:NMUSICBIO ("except for ... publications where the musician or ensemble talks about themselves"). ~dom Kaos~ (talk) 12:27, 5 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
