Fails GNG. Nothing suggest her media career will be different from being just a big brother naija “winner”. Does not pass any of the specific guidelines for her line of work either, just some paid-media buzz. I have reasons to believe there is a strong COI here too, but my main rationale for this nomination is I don't see "relevance" in a few years time — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonybaby (talk • contribs) 10:55, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment No opinion on the article, but this twitter feed[1] includes a screenshot of your rationale. Doug Weller talk 11:55, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

So this is getting interesting. Thank God the week is almost over. This nomination is a fork of my rationale in Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tacha, it should be speedily closed as it seem more like a case of gaming the system. HandsomeBoy (talk) 14:52, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Strong Delete - The subject of article has still not been discussed with in-depth coverage in reliable sources invariably failing in WP:ENT. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Carababy1 (talk • contribs) 13:01, 12 March 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Comment This article does not deserve to be deleted. The points raised are invalid. One can't give a foresight of the career path of Mercy Eke. The basis for deletion is simply vague and bias. Mercy Eke has achieved a lot within a short period of time. She became the fisrt female to win Africa's Biggest Reality TV Show. She launched a clothing line. She has been endorsed by reputable brands. She has ventured into acting, starring in movies produced by veterans in Nollywood. As a result, she has been recognized for her influence and impact, bagging several accolades and awards to her name. She is currently shooting for her reality show that will be aired soon and this is going to solidify her name in the entertainment industry. Mercy Eke has several projects to embark on this year and it will be unfair if this article is deleted because it is an avenue for her to be publicized to the world.

Strong Keep - Passes general notability guidelines & quite easily I might add.Celestina007 (talk) 12:30, 12 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]

*Comment Carababy1 this article gives an in-depth view of the subject, it passes all general guidelines without any form of bias, proper and notable citations and references have been provided. The article does not pose any reason for deletion. Furthermore, there has not been influx of new users gearing towards this article, the dialogue gives light to this fact and counters your false claim.

Comment Mystique4788 This is just a Promotional article for a non-notable actor. Does not pass WP:CREATIVE nor WP:NACTOR or WP:GNG. I could not find anything online to substantiate notability. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonybaby (talk • contribs) 13:45, 12 March 2020 (UTC) [reply]

Why would anyone want this article or page deleted? Mercy Eke's Wikipedia page has been a reference page for ladies struggling with self doubt. Her life is a message of "You can do it". I strongly oppose to this deletion. In Nigeria,there is an unspoken code about single ladies investing in landed properties: Mercy Eke bought a house, it went viral and passed a message to single ladies that they can invest without fear of segregation from the society. She started her clothing store and is endorsed as brand influencer and /or ambasaddor to top notch companies. We also saw her as a video vixen #Take it video by Rude boy of Psquare fame and #Ije ego by MC Galaxy. The reason for which this article was nominated for deletion is obviously malicious as none of the reasons listed holds water. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MamaBomboy (talk • contribs) 14:14, 12 March 2020 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Doug Weller (talk • contribs) [reply]

*Comment — It should also be noted that a very strong Canvassing is ongoing & trending in Nigerian twitter whereby links to this AFD are posted & people are asked to sign up & !vote to keep this article & defend it relentlessly. twitter feed[2] — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonybaby (talk • contribs) 15:36, 12 March 2020 (UTC) [reply]
