Keep - Notable DJ that meets WP:GNG per the coverage received in multiple reliable secondary sources. The sources discussed her and her acts in details. She has huge social media following and on Instagram alone she has over 250 thousand followers and other social media platforms. Yangopano (talk) 14:19, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Sources are blogs and not reliable, It can't establish notability and social media doesn't guarantee notability.Calyx2s (talk) 19:12, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete- For the above reason by the nominator , the subject Not notable. Couldn't find a credible source on Google search mostly are blogs and this is purely an advertisement.Wasilatlovekesy (talk) 15:59, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
WP:SIR refers to a opinion and is not an approved policy/guideline Sibtehassanbutt (talk) 21:44, 24 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I meant Significant, independent and reliable (SIR), thank you for pointing out the wrong link shared. The article source are not WP:RS and also doesn't meet WP:SIGCOV. Wasilatlovekesy (talk) 14:01, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

If not for the content, the three sources are from reliable sources in Nigeria: The Native Mag, NotJustOk and Culture Custodian. (Suggesting: this is just for WP:RS) and doesn't mean opposing/challenging the state of their content for now. All the Best! Otuọcha (talk) 21:22, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I am skeptical of the nominators statement of SIGCOV. Based in Nigeria sourcing, NotJustOk is a reliable source, and Culture custodian though it was a lyric and few I yet interviews. There are few coverage but fails WP: ANYBIO. Closer to notability though I am seeing a possible case of WP: UPE. All the Best! Otuọcha (talk) 21:19, 25 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep: Found these additional sources: Vanguard reliable per WP:NGRS, bellanaija 1 and bellanaija 2, which are generally unreliable per WP:NGRS. Out of the remaining articles, culturecustodian is a reliable source per NGRS, Naija News is borderline and the remaining are not listed, so they could go either way.

On the Vanguard publications which is the first source see [[1]] so can't be used and For the 2 and 3rd sources see Generally unreliable sources for Nigeria-related information Calyx2s (talk) 00:21, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I do not think this passes WP:NSINGER or WP:ANYBIO. Aintabli (talk) 22:40, 26 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - Of all the arguments so far, I find that by Royal88888 to be the most convincing, because the musician has been covered with a certain degree of professionalism by sources that have been deemed reliable at WP:NGRS. That coverage often lapses into typical promotional hype but there is some reliable info with which to build an encyclopedic article, though it would be a stub for the time being. The current WP article is pretty high on hype itself, but that junk can be removed through the standard editing process. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 17:24, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Some of the sources cited are reliable and their coverage of the subject are fair enough to support the article. Museveni1700 (talk) 20:53, 28 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For some of the sources listed see [[2]] and Generally unreliable sources for Nigeria-related information by so doing the article can't meet WP:THREE.Calyx2s (talk) 01:10, 29 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: the sources presented in the article and result of a before search performed point to their minimum notability and per the comment by Royal88888.

The 1, 2 and 3rd source listed by him has no byline most likely promotional and the fourth sources is an interview the fifth is nothing to write home about. Calyx2s (talk) 14:51, 30 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: An analysis of sources would be helpful.

Delete. The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:MUSICBIO. A Google search of her doesn't show her being discussed in reliable secondary sources. The Native and Culture Custodian sources are both interviews (primary sources) and cannot be used to establish notability. Career wise, the subject has not released notable songs or albums. It feels like she is still an up-and-coming disc jockey in the Nigerian music industry. I also feel like this is a case of WP:TOOSOON. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 15:15, 3 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
