Isabelle Nuru

This appears to be a rather extensive hoax. There are no reliable sources covering this person. She can't be found at Grammy.com or Billboard.com or even AllMusic.com, which is unusual for a Grammy-nominated, million-record-selling artist. She's not listed among the executives at Epic Records or it's parent, Sony Records, or even their artists. In fact, the only sources I can find are sites like "Pop Culture Informant", which has a short interview with "Pop Star Turned Music Mogul Belle Nuru" and exactly four other articles. "Pop Culture Information" was apparently featured in Inc (except it wasn't) and the copyright notice says "© 2018 Radar Online Inc." This article's author also created Aurora Alluria, which was deleted as a hoax. Woodroar (talk) 15:07, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Yeah, even the bio on her site shouts "HOAX!" over the rooftops. 37.117.118.138 (talk) 16:01, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I don't normally contribute to music AfDs but I was curious when I read this. I googled "Belle Nuru" + Grammy Awards and found one interview and this Wikipedia mirror about Nuru being a co-writer of a Jennifer Hudson song. The song in question is in fact a Grammy nominee. However, the Wikipedia entry for that song, Spotlight (Jennifer Hudson song) makes no mention of Nuru. At some point someone obviously added her name to the "Spotlight" article and that was eventually removed, but the ipfs.io mirrored article is a copy of the older version with Nuru's name. I went through a couple of the sources for the "Spotlight" article and there was no mention of Nuru. All I could find was the interview, which is almost worthless as a source. freshacconci (✉) 16:50, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete and possibly salt. Looks like a hoax to me. Shritwod (talk) 17:50, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. This appears to be a sophisticated hoax. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 20:18, 10 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Comment Noting an earlier Afd at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Belle Nuru. The current version of the article was created about a week after the first article was deleted. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 04:46, 11 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
