 * Comment: Subject appears to be a national broadcaster in Kenya. While this article currently needs better references, this nomination lacks any sort of deletion rationale. - Dravecky (talk) 19:02, 5 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment This AfD was created because I declined a A7 Speedy for pretty much exactly the same reasons as Dravecky. I haven't had a comprehensive look for sources but superficially it looks a genuinely notable broadcaster, albeit one probably unknown to the majority of people in the US.

 * Procedural keep as while a deletion rationale has been added, it's keyed on a failed proposal that was unable to gain consensus in its favor within a reasonable period of time. That is to say, Notability (journalists) is not an accepted notability standard for Wikipedia so allegedly failing it is meaningless. - Dravecky (talk) 07:15, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep - hitting "news" at the top of this AfD returned 9 hits eg: this, this and this, and a web search returned more. Granted, some of the news and web stuff is tabloidish press reporting on her good looks, but there's easily enough here to pass WP:GNG. Ritchie333  (talk)  (cont)   09:31, 6 August 2013 (UTC)
