I'm surprised this article made it through the draft review process, given that the subject has zero press coverage outside a few paid Nigerian blogs and the accolade "Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria" doesn't seem like a particularly notable award. On the contrary it sounds quite sexist. Blanes tree (talk) 12:14, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria is clearly a notable award, (sexist maybe, but surely no more or less than any other national beauty pagent). But WP:NMODEL is not met with just one notable award, so WP:SIGCOV must be met instead, which I'm not sure it is. Vanguard can be considered marginally reliable when, as in this case, the article is not explicity paid content. Curiously, I couldn't find a previous discussion on VON or RadioNigeria but maybe those two being state outlets counts for something? Even then the articles are pretty short, bordering on routine. So I am on the fence here. -- D'n'B-t -- 18:41, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Let me guess, you're going to wait until day six then flip you're position to keep? Blanes tree (talk) 19:05, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What, why would you think that? I could hop off the fence with more evidence given either way but have no plans to do so as of yet. (besides: whichever field I land in, it would not be a flip - there isn't an opposite position to neutral). -- D'n'B-t -- 19:23, 26 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Week Keep: I'm now satistfied that there's enough reliable, independent coverage based on these discussions - but I am holding onto my reservations about depth of coverage: I feel that SIGCOV is met but only just. And NMODEL is still not. -- D'n'B-t -- 17:55, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I disagree. There is lots of in-depth coverage of this person. See Google news. Even if there wasn't, this person meets WP:ANYBIO #1 as they have "received a well-known and significant award or honor". Clear keep in my view. I suggest the nominator withdraw. C F A 💬 18:18, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Meets WP:GNG and WP:NMODEL. Safari Scribe^{Edits! Talk!} 19:58, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Without even looking at any source, MBGN titleholders is an easy keep. Biggest paegent in the country to determine Miss World representative. Pretty sure all Miss USA winners will also have wiki articles. As soon as I verified she was truly an MBGN winner, I didn't even bother reading the other rationale in the nom statement.

Keep: Easily meets GNG (ex: [1][2][3][4], etc.) and ANYBIO for that matter. I don't think the nominator did a BEFORE. C F A 💬 03:21, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

keep. your statement that the Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria award sounds sexist is quite laughable and somewhat insulting to the people of Nigeria. This award is the highest beauty pageant award in Nigeria and the winner deserves a Wikipedia article.

Keep. Sufficient notability, significant competition/award as mentioned by the commenters above; enough coverage. Prof.PMarini (talk) 21:37, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: I'm failing to see why this was nominated. This clearly passes WP:GNG. TarnishedPath^talk 05:26, 28 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
