The result was delete‎. Since this title hasn't been used before, I find the case for SALTing it to be weak. However, I will keep the page on my watchlist, and act if need. Owen× ☎ 08:14, 19 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

First off, this is a hoax. It has been recreated by different accounts and most recently speedy deleted as Tochi Bright Clement by Vanderwaalforces. The sock case of this user is still ongoing here. This should be Deleted and Salt. There's no evidence of notability, the reliable sources listed never mentioned this subject except for the press release sources and user generated sources. @T.C.G.

• Speedy per nomination, there's a bit of a backlog at SPI though. db-hoax, db-banned, db-bio, take your pick. Wikishovel (talk) 06:03, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment Is there a technical reason why we're discussing this, rather than simply speedying per G5 (etc.) and salting? --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:07, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  That's right! @T.C.G. [talk] 09:54, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete & salt with extreme prejudice, obvs, by any means necessary speedy or otherwise. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 06:09, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Speedy delete: There is, by all means, no reason for this to be at AfD at all, lol. It should be a speedy delete and salt. The young man isn’t ready to give up on self-promo. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:10, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. The single vendor chart (Anghami) that his songs have appeared on is considered a WP:BADCHART. The Top Naija Music Awards is not a credible award in my opinion.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:28, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Yet, it's all fabricated! @T.C.G. [talk] 16:29, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Speedy Delete and Salt - Note that this article is not a hoax, which would be an article about someone who doesn't exist. This musician does exist but that's all he has accomplished for our purposes. All of his media "coverage" is at self-generated platforms, social media, and gullible web services that reprint promo announcements. Someday his relentless self-promotion may kick in somewhere else, but keep us out of it. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:31, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Doomsdayer520, ambiguously, hoaxes also mean spreading false information and that's what I meant. The article contains fabricated claims made by the user like winning an award and producing some notable individuals projects. @T.C.G. [talk] 15:43, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Indeed, a good example is the Mars hoax, false information deliberately spread about something quite real. But I'm glad an AFD was created, thinking about it: if it's not speedied, we'll be able to tag future posts on Mr. Beatz-Lonky with db-multiple A7 and G4, rather than waiting for the SPI to get through the queue, or A7 with a hoax tag underneath so some admin has to go through all the references to determine that it's a load of rubbish about someone who exists and was nominated for a minor award.

  'Mr. Beatz-Lonky' lol. Right on point though. @T.C.G. [talk] 16:26, 12 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
