The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. He has not gained significant coverage in reliable sources to warrant a stand alone article. The sources currently in the article doesn't show notability and a Google search of the subject doesn't either.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 23:17, 25 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete as nothing at all actually suggesting solid independent notability. SwisterTwister talk 21:49, 1 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, per above mainly. I did another search myself and couldn't really find anything except some Wikipedia mirror sites, and a Ghanaian news report of 4 April 2016. - LouisAragon (talk) 02:29, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete, per nom —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:45, 3 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep as it is realized that the article has been improved and more references added to the article. The rapper has a mention on the CNN website as an African rapper. Also, there isn't a lot showing in search engines because of the change in stage name, some few months ago. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.66.199.1 (talk) 01:08, 9 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is still not confidently better to keep the article, however. SwisterTwister talk 07:47, 12 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete for lack of notability. Note that some of the sources, like the CNN link, say nothing meaningful about him--it merely repeats one of his tweets. Drmies (talk) 17:09, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep The article has been improved and some key references added. Most publications on Nuru are within the traditional print media. This makes it quite difficult to show here. More references will be provided in the coming few days to improve article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Itspoojkins (talk • contribs) 17:34, 13 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

What key references have been added? And what references do you expect to provide in the next few days? NewYorkActuary (talk) 07:17, 15 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

• KeepThe reference to his social media accounts being verified to prove authenticity and another reference about his publishing deal with Sony/ATV. Pretty sure this article can be improved with time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.66.239.42 (talk) 15:31, 17 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete. The reference that was just added re: Sony/ATV is to a press release from HypeGH that was issued just yesterday. But, the Sony/ATV web site has no analogous press release (the most recent one at that site concerning signings is from last month, and for a different artist). I must agree with the other commentators who argue that there is no notability here. By the way, I can't shake the feeling that all three of the "Keeps" are from the same person.
