Only discussed in a Forbes contributor peace, nothing found in reliable sources. Nothing extensive for coverage, many name drops. Oaktree b (talk) 01:58, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

- Probably worth looking at WP:NINI. I take no stance in the discussion overall, but this doesn't seem like valid rationale for keeping. An anonymous username, not my real name 04:44, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete unless some sources can be found that are substantially about him. The ones in the article (and I don't find others with a standard search) mention him in a sentence or two but don't give any biographical information. I also note that at least 2 of the sources have this same sentence, which is a quote from Osagie: "“One of the things I’ve learned building Biggie’s audience all these years is his global impact. We wanted to create a song that paid homage to that impact, hence the Afrobeats theme,” This tells me that they came from the same press release. Those sources are: okayplayer, rockthebells. Another source, hnhh, doesn't mention him at all. Lamona (talk) 04:54, 21 February 2023 (UTC)

- Delete per Lamona's source assessment. No substantial coverage, just passing mentions and recycled press release-KH-1 (talk) 01:30, 6 March 2023 (UTC)
- Keep per WP:RELY, these following articles; https://guardian.ng/saturday-magazine/how-elliot-osagie-brought-the-notorious-b-i-g-back-to-life-on-stage/ https://dailytimesng.com/how-elliot-osagie-and-keziah-makoundou-are-pushing-the-african-diaspora-forward-with-afropolitain-magazine/ https://dailytimesng.com/elliot-osagie-produces-the-notorious-b-i-g-song-g-o-a-t-featuring-ty-dolla-ign-and-bella-alubo-in-honor-of-biggies-50th-birthday/ are all reliable, i believe the editor was lazy to make extensive research about the subject Vector diehard (talk)
- Delete. The Nigerian media sources mentioned above read like pure advertising copy from the subject's agent, with lines such as "As he continued to fine tune his skills in these areas, gaining more notoriety within the industry, he started to push the boundaries of what could be possible, especially as he started to explore the concept of the Web3 space" and "In the partnership, Osagie leads with his expertise in growth, expansion and platform development, advancing the magazine forward within the global and U.S. media and tech spaces." Whatever this is, it is not journalism and not independent from the subject. As explained by others above, the sources cited in the article also do not meet the WP:GNG standard.
