Fails GNG, and NMUSIC if we're generous to even consider it. It is difficult not to notice the glaring paid PR puffery coverage throughout the citations. Her main claim to notability appears to be her receiving the "Scandinavia Afrobeats Music Awards" - an utterly non-notable award. I found 2 other sources: [1] a blog post about a music video she appeared in; [2] and another post about an event she went to. Now, considering the sources listed in the actual article that are not just event announcements or disclosed sponsored posts: [3] & [4] what appear to be puff pieces about a visit to Nigeria; [5] another puff piece; [6] another puff piece, including the wonderful bit: "MC Charlene proved once again that she is the right host for your shows as she hyped the crowd"; [7] what appears to be a release on her Norwegian business; [8] what reads like an event advertisement blog post; [9] photos of an event in Turkey; [10] puff piece with photos about an event in Berlin; [11] yet another puff piece; [12] one more; [13] and an announcement that she won non-notable awards. This leaves us with 3 very questionable sources that are at the heart of her questioned notability (and note that I seriously question the reliability of these sources): [14] this one is a copy of the Poise Nigeria PR post; [15] A FabAfrik article; and lastly what I think is the single quasi reliable source of this entire article: [16], "Cameroonian MC/Host Charlene Slams Nigerian DJs For Not Playing Cameroonian Songs".

Delete – Poorly written promotional article. Not enough found on news searches to establish significant notability in my view. Kind Tennis Fan (talk) 05:52, 9 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I so love the idea of her having an article. There are "secondary" sources galore, but, the majority appear to be puffy pieces that are borderline what we see with Bollywood sources. Missvain (talk) 19:06, 11 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete - the sourcing is shite - but I so want to see this on the main page on April Fool's Day. Bearian (talk) 01:51, 12 January 2020 (UTC)[reply]
