Artur Nunes

This article is still not ready for article space. It is very incomplete, as evidenced by the multiple empty sections. It makes no mention of significant coverage that would support general notability or musical notability. This article should be in draft space until the sections are expanded to make it ready for article space, but it has already been in draft space once, and so cannot be unilaterally draftified again. I mistakenly tagged it for BLPPROD, but he is not a living person. Either expand the article within seven days for a Heymann close, or move it to draft space.

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Bands and musicians, Music, and Angola. Robert McClenon (talk) 01:14, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Draft back to draft this goes, there's an incomplete article waiting to be finished here. What's given is basically a small biography, not suitable for wikipedia at this point. Oaktree b (talk) 01:31, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment - Undecided on whether the article should be improved now or sent back to the draft system. Regardless, I think Nunes is probably eligible for a WP article because via a Google Books search, he appears frequently in books on African music and more specific works of Angolan history. The same is true of the FAPLA-Povo Alliance that is mentioned in the lead. However, Nunes appears to be one of many musicians that were popular during the period, and there is no support for this article's gushy platitudes like "one of the most influential voices" and "an icon to always be remembered and never forgotten". Clean up that junk regardless. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 03:42, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Article has been significantly improved since the nomination and meets GNG with sources such as Intonations: A Social History of Music and Nation in Luanda, Angola, from 1945 to Recent Times (6) and this (3). However, the tone of the article certainly needs improvement. S0091 (talk) 17:49, 1 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep Article not what it was when nominated for deletion. Garuda3 (talk) 21:10, 3 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - Given the above discussion and sources that have been located, Nunes is eligible for an article here and satisfies notability rules. The article has also been cleaned up and expanded since the nomination, though it appears to be a real struggle to keep the primary author from plastering it with unsubtle hero worship. The article's tone might be a problem going forward, but Nunes himself is notable. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:42, 9 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
