This article is back following its deletion in 2022 and not improved. Leaving aside its WP:PROMO nature and peacocking words ("hype queen," "energy goddess"), the vast majority of sources on this individual are promotional WP:CHURNALISM, WP:INTERVIEWS and tabloid coverage excluded as WP:SIGCOV under WP:SBST. I found only one example of WP:SIGCOV qualifying toward notability (in the Norwegian newspaper Dagbladet) and we'd need to see more to keep this page.

Delete: For a Norwegian/Cameroonian musical individual, there is a lack of coverage in both countries, only in Nigeria [1] which has the usual puffy language. I'd expect something from the home crowd if this person was notable. Oaktree b (talk) 00:22, 25 September 2024 (UTC)- Weak keep Colour me surprised. Coverage in Norwegian median [2], [3]. Not a ton of coverage, but with the zillion Nigerian sources, I'd give it a pass. Oaktree b (talk) 00:27, 25 September 2024 (UTC)
- The two Norwegian links are more or less the same article, built on a third piece, the original in Bergensavisen. There was another piece by the same journalist in Bergensavisen in 2020. Geschichte (talk) 08:50, 25 September 2024 (UTC)

- Comment: Since the AFD nom she just picked up another award - it looks like Diaspora Glitz (responsible for the Global African Diaspora Awards) is a legitimate magazine (though it would be nice to see the print magazine credits page, since what's online is unhelpful)[4][5][6]. That makes minor awards in at least three countries. If I squint, I think she's probably on the cusp of WP:NMUSIC#7, though available sources are pretty poor (noting that print indy music magazines don't always have a great online presence)[7]. It's not clear if the forthcoming(?) Love or Pop is to be a broadcast show([8] - CRTV is a national broadcaster). Sorry, I've been on and off the fence a bunch for this one from "Very Weak possibly IAR Keep but sigcov may never get much stronger" through to "Meh Delete, this is practically an orphan, but expect new versions of this article to be reasonably created as WP:NPOINTS increase" and am landing on "No Consensus is ok for a while". ~Hydronium~Hydroxide~(Talk)~ 09:32, 15 October 2024 (UTC)
