Delete A lot of the coverage is borderline tabloid that does not indicate any fact checking. Her being a "princess" seems more marketing gimmick than reality. We seem to lack an article on her great-grandparent who seems to have been the last to hold an actual title. Keep in mind that at least after 1900 most "royal" titles in Nigeria have not actually been connected with actual political power. This has the potential to morph into another expression of deposed monarchy cruft.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:30, 12 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete — Doesn’t satisfy our general notability criteria. Celestina007 (talk) 18:02, 13 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - this princess meets notability and has yahoo and international coverage & sources on forbes and almost every reference source is ethentic, l am sure this article meets the guidelines. John Pack Lambert you are saying right, the monarchy in Nigeria is tribal and never been interwoven in political power, a prince or princess of Nigeria is known to be princes or princesses of their tribes as we know Nigeria has the largest tribe and most spoken languages in the world, about 520. This princess is a princess of her tribe and from the particular hometown information on wiki, the monarchy exist and up till date and tribal monarchy is forever in Nigeria and can not be deposed. Look into this and judge rightly. I believe they meet. They are the richest african princess too, I see this is notable.Arslan Ahsan (talk) 17:44, 15 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Forbes is deprecated on Wikipedia and can't be used to establish notability. scope_creep^Talk 09:47, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:scope_creep The forbes is not deprecated and your claim is wrong again at this point. Why did you say it is deprecated when it is not, look, we both know here that forbes references has never been the notability criteria to be on wikipedia, many notable people on wikipedia here but not necessarily forbes only proves notability. There are rules and guidelines that wikipedia entry should follow and this page follow all the following Wikipedia:Verifiability, Wikipedia:Original Research, WP:NPOV, WP:POV, WP:NOT, WP:BIO, WP:NFT, WP:N & has more worthy and trusted sources and references that are on the news. The fact that these links is not deprecated proves more readily that it is honourable to keep.Arslan Ahsan (talk) 16:31, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It is deprecated dude. WP:FORBESCON. Forbes isn't a good reference. It is low-quality, and because they have churned out so much junk over the last 10 years, the WMF has had enough, changed the software to flag it up and the community has deprecated it. Check before you spout a bunch of such nonsense. More so, this is about the 9th time this past week or two that I've stated the exact same thing. Does nobody check. scope_creep^Talk 19:11, 17 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per WP:OUTCOMES and WP:SIGCOV. Over the past three months a consensus has emerged that princesses of non-sovereign states are not automatically notable, whether from Europe, Latin America, or Asia. This is the first I've seen from Africa, although I don't see how this one would be an exception to the new rules. Ping me if you find anything other than the single Yahoo news.
