NN musician, fails WP:MUSICBIO. UtherSRG (talk) 19:03, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

• Keep Perhaps a weak keep. I've done a rewrite of the article and found some sources including The New Yorker[https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2002/10/14/the-congo-sound], although, the mentions are a tad fleeting yet he is used as an example of popularising a musical style in an Encyclopedia. I didn't do a check on French sources. With WP:MUSICBIO, I think his band meets criteria 4 and 7. I wouldn't oppose having a band page be created Les Coeurs Brises and a redirect made to it from Dany Engobo. Meanderingbartender (talk) 20:47, 5 June 2023 (UTC)

• Comment A .fr Google website search doesn't turn up much [https://musique.rfi.fr/musique/20100528-jessy-matador-leurovision] mentioned about another person during Eurovision in 2010. He has a listing at BNF (the French National Library), so I think he's released a few records/CDs'. I'll keep digging. Oaktree b (talk) 01:45, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
• :He appears to have been making music as part of "Les Coeurs Brises" before 1991, then alone in the late 90's/early 2000s, so likely exists in paper sources. He's mentioned in this book [https://books.google.ca/books?id=IVhMAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Dany+Engobo%22+-wikipedia&dq=%22Dany+Engobo%22+-wikipedia&hl=en&newbks=1&newbks_redir=0&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwjWpLvn0cH_AhUVk4kEHTHrDPsQ6AF6BAgLEAI], which Google doesn't have much of beyond a snippet view; it's published in the Congo, so I doubt it will be in many libraries. Oaktree b (talk) 01:50, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
• Weak keep I think his notability hangs on MUSIC #7 in particular. He created a new musical style/dance as described in the article. And about a paragraph in this book [https://books.google.ca/books?id=0-qKDT9LhwEC&pg=PA157&lpg=PA157&dq=dany+engobo&source=bl&ots=TbH3AQfmGY&sig=ACfU3U1golYfDKTy690kp8ctje9KDEG-Yg&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiX3bfh1MH_AhW9m4kEHWssBfk4MhDoAXoECBYQAw#v=onepage&q=dany%20engobo&f=false], briefly talking about him, and this [https://books.google.ca/books?id=YjoVCwAAQBAJ&lpg=PA301&ots=fMnA_-Eml8&dq=dany%20engobo&pg=PA301#v=onepage&q=dany%20engobo&f=false], mentioned in an African cultural encyclopedia. Oaktree b (talk) 01:58, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
• :Did on search on BNF Gallica, hoping for newspapers, nothing turns up [https://gallica.bnf.fr/services/engine/search/sru?operation=searchRetrieve&exactSearch=false&collapsing=true&version=1.2&query=(dc.creator%20all%20%22Dany%20Engobo%22%20or%20dc.contributor%20all%20%22Dany%20Engobo%22%20)%20and%20(dc.type%20all%20%22fascicule%22)&suggest=10&keywords=Dany%20Engobo]. Appears he was big in Africa in the pre-internet era, so not much has been digitized from that part of the planet and time. Oaktree b (talk) 02:05, 14 June 2023 (UTC)
