I have Googled this artist thus confirming their existence. However, I couldn't find any reliable secondary sources that could be used to create a reasonably engaging encyclopaedia entry that doesn't contain hyperbolic language such as "he rose to fame"

The sources used in the page are all primary sources. Therefore, it would be impossible to cover this subject in an encyclopaedic tense without synthesis of the primary material.

Here's what I mean,

1. https://web.archive.org/web/20140903084109/http://omgghana.com/kesse-unleashes-the-ugly-truth-claiming-he-is-heading-to-the-bets-and-the-grammys/ - this is an interview and therefore primary. 2. https://www.modernghana.com/music/8861/3/.html - this is a report from a regional music competition and is therefore primary. 3. https://web.archive.org/web/20140823164509/http://www.myjoyonline.com/entertainment/2014/June-4th/i-am-getting-ready-to-marry-kesse.php - this is a press release and is therefore primary 4. https://archive.wikiwix.com/cache/index2.php?rev_t=20140527053606&url=http%3A%2F%2Fcommunity.vanguardngr.com%2Fphoto%2Fmtn-project-fame-season-three-2#federation=archive.wikiwix.com&tab=url this is a listings page and is therefore primary 5. https://www.modernghana.com/music/8861/3/.html this is a repeat source 6. This is a report from a time of an event and is therefore primary https://web.archive.org/web/20140904182407/http://www.modernghana.com/music/8861/3/.html 7. https://www.modernghana.com/music/17983/3/kesse-debuts-ugly-truth-album.html this is a routine press announcement about an upcoming album. Therefore, it is a primary source. 8. https://www.premiumtimesng.com/entertainment/135040-wizkid-wins-african-artiste-of-the-year-at-ghana-music-awards.html this is a primary source reporting on a competition that mentions the artist's name but it's not clear how it could translate into encyclopaedic content. 9. https://web.archive.org/web/20140314041448/http://www.ghanacelebrities.com/2012/04/15/full-list-of-winners-of-2012-vodafone-ghana-music-awards/ this is a list of award nominees that doesn't load. Again, this is a primary source and it's not clear how one could create engaging prose from it without significant synthesis. 10. https://web.archive.org/web/20140314041448/http://www.ghanacelebrities.com/2012/04/15/full-list-of-winners-of-2012-vodafone-ghana-music-awards/ this is a list of award winners which is great and all but how does one build an entire article completely from primary sources without significant synthesis.

Whether WP:MUSIC is present or not I just can't see how it's possible to create a suitably engaging article from these sources without synthesis of primary source material.

Can you see what I mean and do you understand why this is so important to me?

Can you see my point? 𝔓^420°𝔓^Holla 01:26, 23 February 2025 (UTC)

I agree that the sources presented are all primary or routine coverage and therefore fail TL:N. The three strongest appear to be the ModernGhana pieces (nos. 5–7) and the Premium Times mention (no. 8); each is either a contemporaneous event report, an album announcement or a bare award listing, none offering independent secondary analysis with significant depth. Under TL:N three such sources with significant, lasting coverage are required; these do not meet that test. I therefore suggest Delete. A redirect to any notable song or album could be considered if one exists. Oscar 15:32, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
