Subject of article fails basic criteria for inclusion into the encylopedia most notably, WP:GNG and has not received significant coverage in reliable sources as most references look like announcements. This seems as though it is a case of WP:TOOSOON and i !vote a Strong Delete until she has been disscussed in popular and reliable press. Celestina007 (talk) 21:09, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete This reads like a gossip column. Delete per WP:NOTNEWS. Comatmebro User talk:Comatmebro 21:36, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: The article meets WP:GNG criteria and she is popularly known for the reality show Big Brother Nigeria 2017 just like Ebuka Obi-Uchendu and everyone who made it to the reality show over the years. She has also been discussed in reliable source, which includes Newspapers, Magazines and so on. So i believe the article may require assistant in improving the article and not deleting it. I Advice you make research on the topic "Gifty Powers" also.--Obari2Kay (talk) 21:41, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

As observed by Comatmebro the only time the subject of your article is discussed, it is by gossip blogs and even at that, there is no in-depth coverage of her supposed career or 'fame', by those gossip blogs. Now @Obari2Kay you however, did magnify my interest in your article's subject when you mentioned she has been covered by reliable press, could you be so kind as to enlighten me and the rest of wikipedia by providing us with sources as to back up your claim of she possessing significant coverage in reliable sources? mind you, gossip blogs do not count as reliable sources, you better focus on WP:GNG so as to understand my arguement, the notability of your articles subject fails the aforementioned guideline woefully. my take is still a Strong delete also read up WP:NotJustYet , Happy Editing sir.

Delete and Redirect - Sources and the article are all WP:FANCRUFT and not notable. Redirect to Big Brother Naija as a viable search term - Pmedema (talk) 22:25, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I somewhat but not completely disagree with Wikipedia’s decision to deem The Daily Mail not a reliable source. The articles I have read from The Daily Mail were all sound articles. Perhaps that is because I don’t read their celebrity material. So I can sympathize with Wikipedians who say The Daily Mail is not a reliable due to their celebrity/tabloid material. If you rule out The Daily Mail as a reliable source, then the article fails to meet WP:GNG because it has not received coverage in reliable sources. Gossipy sources, news aggregrators and the Daily Mail celebrity gossip type converage are not reliable sources. desmay (talk) 01:11, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Daily Mail it is a reliable source ^[1] and it is also a notable print media as Vanguard (Nigeria). I strongly believe this article has more references, so i am going to dig deep to find them. All i ask for is 10 day's and nothing more to convince you it's meet WP:GNG.--Obari2Kay (talk) 06:24, 27 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:NACTOR and WP:GNG. She hasn't been discussed in significant detail. The article is written in a promotional tone, and the content of the sources cited are gossip material at best. Being a participant in a reality show isn't enough to establish notability.
