Does not seem to meet musician notability requirements. The article is a BLP with only one source that doesn't even support any of the admittedly few grasps at notability the article makes. Nerd1a4i (talk) 16:36, 1 October 2017 (UTC)

• Keep: the subject has had a string of hits on the Billboard R&B charts (including a no. 1), and has scraped into the lower reaches of the Billboard Hot 100 [1], Billboard 200 Albums [2] and the UK Singles Chart [3]. He has an AllMusic biography [4] and articles in Billboard [5], [6]. He's even written a song that featured on a Grammy-nominated album ("Never Let Go", from Walking By Faith by the Canton Spirituals), although admittedly, this is a more tenuous connection to notability.

• Keep Music artists AfD's are filled with so many obvious candidates for deletion. THIS is the exact opposite. Plenty of qualifying billboard chart appearances alone make this a keep. Not sure why this was even nominated. ShelbyMarion (talk) 02:20, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
• Keep. The coverage identified above (e.g., [7][8][9]) shows that the singer meets WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO.  gongshow  talk  02:26, 2 October 2017 (UTC)
• Keep – Meets both GNG and WP:MUSIC and so is easily notable. J947^{(c) (m)} 23:26, 3 October 2017 (UTC)
• Speedy Keep as per above; the article could use some cleanup and improved referencing. power~enwiki (π, ν) 19:58, 4 October 2017 (UTC)
• Keep Does meet GNG and NMUSIC.182.65.88.95 (talk) 09:53, 6 October 2017 (UTC)
