Sandi u miscontrued me with the social presence issue.It wasn't a blanket suggestion across board for all.It was in reference to people we cannot find so much resources about online.If you compare someone like say Sarkodie to Gasmilla on this basis you will appreciate what I am talking about.Tetteh Quarshie too doesn't have a facebook page or website but google his name and you will find tons of info Osibisa's page has less tha 10000 likes Dumelo has 200k but you and I know Osisbisa is more popular across the world than Dumelo My suggestion specific for Gasmilla it is just an observation and there maybe instances where we will get people even less notable in such a case what do we do?For the records I am not against a page for Gasmilla but itz just a clarion call I am sending

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
