 * Keep: Considerable press coverage in Nigeria. African women in business cannot be expected to enjoy the same international coverage as those from Britain or America.--Ipigott (talk) 05:59, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - Where is the in-depth, non-trivial support? There are a large number of women from Africa that are able to meet the requirements.  All it takes is a couple of articles that meet the criteria of in-depth, non-trivial support.  Your comment that the subject does not only serves to dilute the argument for inclusion.  red dogsix (talk) 17:10, 9 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep: Lanre Da Silva is very notable. HandsomeBoy (talk) 13:51, 9 April 2018 (UTC).
 * Comment - Please provide example of how she meets WP:N. red dogsix (talk) 17:10, 9 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep: She is mentioned in several books on African fashion. The info has been added to the article.Abonzz (talk) 16:26, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment - Being mentioned in a book is far from in-depth, non-trivial support. The book mentions do not support inclusion into Wikipedia.  red <b style="color:#000;">dog</b><i style="color:#000;">six</i> (talk) 17:10, 9 April 2018 (UTC)
 * She is mentioned in the book "Fashion Africa" as being a fashion favourite and receiving numerous accolades. The authour of the book is an industry expert : https://books.google.ca/books?id=-ZtnAwAAQBAJ&pg=PA155&dq=lanre+da+silva,+fashion+africa&hl=en&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjaqemY6K_aAhWGmeAKHRfYC4gQ6AEIKTAA#v=onepage&q=lanre%20da%20silva%2C%20fashion%20africa&f=false
 * Italian Vogue has also done several articles on her and other articles cite her as being a leading designer in Nigeria. I added the new info to her wikipedia page so you can check it out. Abonzz (talk) 13:37, 10 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep A bucketload of sources turn up on a news search. She's also mentioned in this UNESCO report, though I can't get a Google Books preview so I don't know how much coverage is there. I can't see any evidence that the in-depth Punch article isn't a reasonable source to use. Remember that Nigerian people will generally have less online coverage than what we see on Western topics. <b style="color:#7F007F">Ritchie333</b> <sup style="color:#7F007F">(talk) <sup style="color:#7F007F">(cont)  12:10, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Strikes me as having received enough press coverage to meet the notability guideline. -- Ser Amantio di Nicolao Che dicono a Signa?Lo dicono a Signa. 15:03, 10 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Sufficient indications of notability to meet GNG. Selected to participate in the UN's Fashion for Development 2012, Naomi Campbell opened 2018 Arise Fashion Week wearing her design, features in Elle  and Vogue  clearly indicate notability. SusunW (talk) 17:31, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets notability criteria per all of the above. -- The Anome (talk) 17:47, 11 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Elle and Vogue, in consideration of fashion, are for sure important news, the opposite of trivial. Elisa.rolle (talk) 17:52, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep multiple sources ,  Notability found Samat lib (talk) 01:03, 14 April 2018 (UTC)
