 * Note: This debate has been included in the list of Fashion-related deletion discussions. NewYorkActuary (talk) 20:16, 20 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Keep: meets general, minimum relevant criteria, verifiable in independent secondary reliable sources. The significant awards and nominations are relevant and not "minor in nature..."

 * Delete, does not appear to meet WP:GNG or WP:BIO standards for notability. No significant coverage from reliable sources. GABgab 01:27, 21 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - Lacks significant coverage to establish notability. The awards are not significant awards which would establish notabiliyt. -- Whpq (talk) 14:08, 22 February 2017 (UTC)


 *  Keep  meets basic criteria, "not everything that is notable makes headlines, and not everything that is notable is easily searchable online." -Wikipedia, "notability does not always depend the depth of coverage of the topic or the individual, nor that it be immediately available online." -Wikipedia, "it is nowhere mandated that the reliable source being used to verify an assertion "must" itself be significant or in-depth... only that the verification itself must be in a reliable source." -Wikipedia, "If an actor manages to maintain a low profile and so fails WP:GNG by not having wide coverage in popular press that is readily available though an internet search, that "low profile" and failing GNG does not exclude him as long as the career is itself properly verified in reliable sources." -Wikipedia "Wikipedia:Notability (paragraph 2) specifically allows that the GNG does not always have to be met." -Wikipedia.  The article doesn't read as a "advertisement" but reads like any other accepted Wikipedia article of same, similar, stubs, and as demonstrated, the awards were shown significant. Per Wikipedia's guidelines, the article is in standing with or better standing than numerous Wikipedia accepted articles of same, similar, stubs, that are not red flagged for deletion, Jan Hilary, Mika Hagi, Tajana Jeremic, Erika Johnson, Katerina Kanonidou, Lolita Hoarau, Daniela Eleftheraki, Lyudmila Bikmullina, Valeria Bystritskaia, Cody Callahan, Mónica Castillo, Ingrid Finger Fllrfth (talk) 18:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Can you point specifically to where such claims are made, because that isn't in Notability. -- Whpq (talk) 19:18, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
 * the full documentation of the excerpts that properly and specifically addresses the article were easily found at Wikipedia: The GNG and notability for actors Fllrfth (talk) 18:59, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * That is an essay that may provide small guidance and advice but it is not a policy or guideline for not ability. --Whpq (talk) 19:24, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * within that documentation factual relevant guidelines are noted, ie Wikipedia:Notability (paragraph 2) specifically instructs that a topic can also be considered notable, even failing the GNG, if it otherwise meets the criteria outlined in one of the more "subject specific guidelines." Although meeting basic, minimum criteria, the article also meets basic criteria of several "subject specific guidelines," including WP:ENT, WP:ANYBIO, WP:BASIC- topic specific notability sub-criteria as set out in WP:Notability (people). But more importantly, "before proposing or nominating an article for deletion, or offering an opinion based on notability in a deletion discussion, editors are strongly encouraged to attempt to find sources for the subject in question and consider the possibility of existent sources if none can be found by a search." -Notability.

 * Delete - Per nominator. Fails WP:GNG and awards do not seem notable as well.  Jupitus Smart  10:44, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia:Notability (paragraph 2) specifically instructs that a topic can also be considered notable, even failing the GNG, if it otherwise meets the criteria outlined in one of the more "subject specific guidelines, "the person has received a notable award or honor, or has been nominated for one several times" -WP:ANYBIO, and as demonstrated, the awards were proven significant and notable. Fllrfth (talk) 17:54, 25 February 2017 (UTC)


 * Delete - does not meet the general notability criteria, nor the specific notability criteria for actors and models. The only actual claim to notability is the awards he has won, and as shown above those are not sufficiently notable. WP:TOOSOON would seem to apply. --bonadea contributions talk 18:13, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * As shown, meets basic, minimum criteria, also for anyone or any entity to state "The awards are not significant awards," "Awards are minor in nature," "not sufficiently notable," etc... has not or did not want to do an extremely fast and easy search or ignored the fact that... edp24, atlinka online, zen magazine, pulse, fab magaine, DSBC Productions, Sauti Sol, Uga Music, African Cuisine Magazine, All Africa, Brony the movie, Afro Fire, Modern Ghana, Red Pepper, Tropics Magazine, The BFT Online, Chimp Reports, Arts Central, NYASA Times, Big Eye, Leader SGH, African Dazzle, Abbay Media, Mad News UK, Howwe, Malawi 24, silverfmgh, Black History Studies, News lexpoint, ugblizz, Gospel GH, Nottingham News Centre, Meltingpot News, Shatta Wale News, Penzaarville, African Entertainment has proven to be well known, notable, significant etc...

 * Comment - Actually, these are passing mentions (not-in-depth discussions) of the awards and do not evoke the award's Wikipedia based notability. red dogsix (talk) 19:14, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - something that's possibly not obvious: that other Wikipedia articles about other people might mention the awards does not actually mean that they are notable (per Wikipedia's peculiar definition of notability). --bonadea contributions talk 20:11, 25 February 2017 (UTC)
