Article about a mobile news app, not referenced to any evidence of reliable source coverage about it for the purposes of satisfying any Wikipedia notability criteria. The only "references" here are purely tangential -- a zoom-in on Kenya in a generic map of all newspapers on earth, and a short generic article about mobile phone usage in the country -- which means neither of them are about HiviSasa. Newspapers (digital or otherwise) are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist -- they must show some evidence that they have been the subject of coverage in other publications to become notable enough.

Delete - I found one article on GScholar mentioning this site however it talks about it being defunct as of 2013 so I assume it is discussing a different site to that discussed in the article. Nothing else was found in my WP:BEFORE to indicate notability, and as such it fails WP:GNG. FOARP (talk) 15:31, 14 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
