BLP of a singer who is described as legendary and has had a long career. However she does not appear to pass WP:MUSICBIO and the sources I can see either don’t look reliable, or don’t look independent, or don’t look in-depth. Some seem to be recycled PR.

  • Delete I tried to search on Google but no coverage sadly. Fails GNG and MUSICBIO as Mccapra indicated. ─ The Aafī (talk) 02:22, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
    • TheAafi Are you sure you searched well? Akua Serwaa Bonsu is a well-known Ghanaian musician. This shouldn't be a debate.Mellowdeaous (talk) 15:12, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
      • Mellowdeaous, right now, it's not a debate because there are no arguments for keeping the article. Just saying "he's well-known" is not an argument: you need proof. Drmies (talk) 15:14, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
        • Drmies The sources listed prove she is a notable musician. Please go through the sources. All the sources listed - AmeyawDebra.comh, Ghanamusic, Ghsplash.com are all reliable news sites Mellowdeaous (talk) 15:20, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
          • Mellowdeaous, I cleaned up your comments: please indent properly. All that suggests, by the way, that you are not yet a very experienced editor. And the websites you listed, there is no good indication that they are actually reliable independent sources per WP:RS. Drmies (talk) 15:25, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
            • Drmies If Akua Serwaa Bonsu should not be on wikipedia then I guess many of the musicians here do not deserve to be too. Just because an artist does not have many articles about her on the internet does not mean she is not notable. Akua Serwaa is a well known Ghanaian gospel musician and many Ghanaians know her. I listed five reliable sources yet you are saying they are not reliable just because you don't know them. Mellowdeaous (talk) 15:37, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
              • Mellowdeaous, see WP:TALKREPLY: if you want to play here, you will have to follow the rules. Part of the rules is what constitutes a reliable source. You didn't list five reliable sources--you threw out two URLs and something that appears to be the name of a website. They're in the article? This is on GhanaSlayers.com, an article written by "GhanaSlayers", full of praise and punctuation errors: not a good sign. Now, turning this on me is not going to help you, and comparing to other (even worse?) articles is not going to help your case either. If anyone is going to be notable, it will be because of what reliable sources say, not because some unknown person says "many Ghanaians know her". Drmies (talk) 15:47, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                • Drmies I'm sorry if I'm being harsh and rude but I thought the sources listed here prove she is a notable musiciansMellowdeaous (talk) 16:04, 5 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
                  • Hmm I don't know if you were being harsh and rude, but if someone asks you two or three times to INDENT PROPERLY, and a couple of times removes unnecessary material (like the link to my talk page) from your posts, and you don't do what they have asked you to do politely, what is the word for that?

  • Delete per nom . No significant disscussion on RS: all the sources are from crappy websites , i see No evidence of Notability ,Samat lib (talk) 09:34, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, subject doesn’t meet WP:MUSICBIO. Couldn’t find any reliable sources that pass WP:GNG. —Xclusivzik (talk) 22:44, 6 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete seems to be a pattern of non-notable articles being created by this editor Dexxtrall (talk) 16:50, 10 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete - no coverage outside of artist's own promotional and routine announcements which fail to establish notability Spiderone(Talk to Spider) 07:18, 11 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
