Abby Lakew

 * – ( View AfD View log )

There certainly are some sources about Abby Lakew, but the article does not show her notability. Views in hundreds of thousands on Youtube are not enough to make someone notable enough for Wikipedia. Maybe Kora All-Africa Music Award nomination is enough for some, but for me, the article has a week stand-point and this is why I am nominating it for deletion. Cheers!

Keep. Kora Awards seem sufficiently notable, and I'd place a nominee thereof on this side of notable. Also she's newsworthy enough for The Times of Israel, having been the opening act at a music festival in Jerusalem. I think in cases like these we have to be mindful of WP:CSB where the subject is unlikely to appear in the pages of Billboard or Parade. -- Gyrofrog (talk) 19:18, 28 September 2020 (UTC)

Keep. There are several sources that cover her nobility such as 1, which supports the rest sources and the same information in the context. It details her abandonment from Ethiopia at the age of 13 to live in U.S., and her release of two albums. Therefore, I suggested that there are variety reliable source that covers her life as well in lieu of its deletion. The Supermind (talk) 21:08, 29 September 2020 (UTC)

Keep. The Times of Israel article does not even come close to meeting sigcov because it's literally just one sentence saying that she opened the festival. The Jerusalem Theatre website is from the theatre that hosted the festival, so it's quite clearly promotional/not independant from the subject. Instead, to argue for GNG, I'll proint to Ezega Article and Ethiogrio Article. One Kora Awards nomination doesn't satisfy point 1 of WP:ANYBIO, which says about nominations for major awards "". But, she does meet WP:MUSIC criteria 8 through that Kora nomination. It's also worth noting that she (according to the Ethiogrio Article) prefers to sing in Amharic, so it might be worthwhile in terms of improving the article to do some searches in that language.

Keep as per the points put forward in the preceeding post she has significant coverage in multiple reliable sources and therefore passes WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 18:56, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
