you might consider https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability_(music). there are some criteria which only you can define properly for ghana, i just picked out a couple:
- countries national music chart
- non-trivial coverage in independent reliable sources of an
international concert tour, or a national concert tour
- subject of multiple, non-trivial, published works appearing in
sources that are reliable, not self-published, and are independent

I think we should give it the shot i.e let Gasmilla get the article and
as Sandister suggests " let other more experienced Wikipedians decide if he should be there or not."

For Facebook and others making someone or something notable, I disagree.
I think reading this article should let those of us who don't know much about notability on Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Notability
Sandister, for me notability locally is key as well. As you said about Theodosea Okoh.
Gasmilla I think is notable locally very well. I can say all these top
guys
in the music industry are well known. Nii can you defend me on this one?
Thanks

Theodosia Okoh has no Facebook page RB, but the media have reports on
her
and she has online presence that way. Wikipedia is really not
interested in
your social media presence.
Gasmilla is more prominent to a child running around somewhere in Jamestown than Michael Jackson will ever be. But the Westerners will
see MJ
differently. Notability is very subjective. Let's tread carefully so we don't defeat the purpose of our group.
Oral I am equally interested in articles that exist and those that are
yet
to be created. Let's allow Gasmilla onto the wiki and let other more experienced Wikipedians decide if he should be there or not.
We shouldn't wait for him to scoop a local award or BET before we
scurry
to create one for him.
Anyone else?
Anyone else?

Raphael makes a very salient point and I think we're at that place
where
individuals/ideas/places/events already have their web presence/representation thanks to the advent of social media (Facebook/Google+/LinkedIn/etc).
One importance for wikiGH must thus be to get members more interested/involved in updating already existing pages of Ghana
related
contents on the wikis since there's a ton of them that newbies could practice on as a way of enhancing their skills and scoring points for meritocracy.
I am always available to proof materials prior to posting or in meta stages whenever the opportunity allows me to, knowing my crazy
schedules.
That said, new and exciting articles are always welcomed so long as
they're
well written, not sensational and have a lot of credence to both local/international audience on Wikipedia/Wikimedia.
You will hear from me every once in a while but I believe with
thinktanks
like Sandister, Nii, Rexford and Raphael among others, the future of
wikiGH
is bright and I foresee a chapter forming even before my next trip to
Ghana.
PS: Sandister if u make it to wikimania London, let the aporrr
kronkron
flooooww!

Hello team I have some reservations. I think as we go on as a group
and
grow we need to set some parameters.One of these should be which personality group,entity, place etc merits a page on wikipedia. I am
saying
so because wikipedia is an encyclopedia and one of its tenets is the notability of people or stuffs that are featured.Sincerely I think
is not
every personality,place or group that deserves a page other than
that
Wikipedia will lose its relevance and we 'll wake up one day to find
almost
every individual with a page.
