Delete - Good luck to him as he gets started, but he has not yet progressed beyond minor promotions created by himself or his management, who are the only parties calling him a "leading" voice of his generation. Wait for someone else to say it first. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 16:23, 14 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Keep He is called as a "leading voices among Ethiopia’s emerging generation" by non Ethiopian owned media, coca-cola.co.ug. There is no ground to say it is "created by himself or his management". It is better to have a discussion regarding to the WP:Policy. - Yitbe ^A-21 06:30, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The CocaCola site is just advertising, not music journalism. Note all the puffery like "hit maker" (with no evidence of reaching any official charts}, "heartthrob", "eye-catching", "much anticipated" album (with no news sources mentioning such anticipation or that the album is even in production), or "accolades" (from a little-known awards ceremony). None of that adds up to "leading". ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 15:25, 15 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The only coverage of him seems to be in advertising. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:10, 16 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
