Keep: Judikay is one of Nigeria and Africa's top gospel artistes. Her second album received a Boomplay plaque after hitting over 50 million streams on Global Music Network. According to Wikipedia notability requirements namely: significant coverage, reliable, secondary sources etc, the individual is highly notable with lots of media coverage, works and even awards. If I may ask, what exact metric is your cause for concern as regards her notability? Also, what do you mean by "nothing to show" as regards her notability? I'll really love to know. I have also added more reliable sources and references to show notability. I hope this would suffice. Cheers!! Mevoelo (talk) 20:43, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Streams are not notable here and we have no reliable sources discussing this person. Oaktree b (talk) 21:19, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
I presume references can be made to streams to further show notability and if it is significant or a major achievement especially internationally. Top Wikipedia articles for musicians have made references in this light. I can give dozens of example if need be. The article has both primary and secondary sources as per Wiki guidelines. You can refer to WP:BAND. Also, I have added a few more reliable sources. I hope you check it out. Cheers! Mevoelo (talk) 21:38, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per creator and basic. Okoslavia (talk) 06:17, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Adequately sourced for notability.--Ipigott (talk) 06:30, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Article has multiple cites to Nigerian newspapers, demonstrating she is a popular artist in Nigeria. Looks notable to me. Also, WP:BIAS is a relevant concern in cases like this. SomethingForDeletion (talk) 09:01, 15 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: The subject has enough coverage to meet WP:BASIC. In addition, she is possibly meeting WP:MUSICBIO for Top 10 Gospel song and having been nominated and winning multiple awards. Hkkingg (talk) 08:18, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
