 * Delete an impressive looking article, but I'm not seeing independent coverage, sorry. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:02, 13 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I've added two more independent sources. I'm in no sense a fan of gospel music, but from reading the article and googling, this is someone who has had a significant presence in the Ghanaian music industry, with a notable career and a history of chairing industry bodies. We shouldn't expect a Ghanaian musician to have the same kind of reporting that US musicians have, and gospel music is significant in modern Ghanaian culture. --Slashme (talk) 16:08, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Diana Hopeson is a notable Ghanaian musician. I agree that the article has issues with references and the community should be given time to clean it up, but I don't think it should be deleted. -Masssly (talk) 21:18, 19 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. Notable per WP:ANYBIO, won national industry award, chaired national organizations. Ijon (talk) 22:21, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep, as winner of a National Honors Award, I've not the least doubt about her notability. Darwin  Ahoy!  22:23, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep If not all, most of the issues raised concerning this article have been fixed and hence does not deserve to be deleted Celestinesucess (talk) 22:56, 19 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Remember WP:DINC. It has been cleaned up and likely never needed an AfD to do so. --Micky (talk) 01:06, 20 June 2020 (UTC) Blocked sockpuppet --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:58, 26 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep This article is clearly notable since she has headed the musician union of Ghana and has received national awards. I believe the article needs more work to clean it and not necessarily delete it.Owula kpakpo (talk) 11:14, 20 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep. The article does not appear to me to be problematic, and she appears to be relevant in Ghanian music culture. The several pages cited appear to reflect this. With that said, the article, I do not believe, is a stub, despite it being designated as such, and should acquire a discography section. Mungo Kitsch (talk) 06:37, 23 June 2020 (UTC)
