This singer meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline WP:GNG or WP:BIO, or the specific notability criteria for musicians outlined in Notability (music) WP:MUSIC.

Source assessment table
Source Independent? Reliable? Significant coverage? Count source toward GNG?
No The exact same article as the Independent article File:Blue question mark (italic).svg If two different publications are publishing the same articles then clearly editorial standars are not a priority for either organisation ~ Some. But is it objective? ✘ No
No Appears to be a listicle blog No Appears to be paid promotion ~ It gives us a bit more biographical information but not enough for an engaging encyclopaedia entry ✘ No
No Press-kit photos and press release. Appears to be a website that specifically promotes up and coming artists. No Not frenqunelty cited on Wikipedia and no consensus on its reliability is available ~ It's hard to separate facts when they're presented as puffery ✘ No

No Labelled as an advertisment and the duplicate source that appears in This Day below this confims that its just a paid reprint File:Blue question mark (italic).svg Not clear but I have noted that they have publiushed the same articles as the Guardian NG previously. ~ Has more depth than the buy links ✘ No
No Lo and behold its the exact same article as the Independent article listed in the previous source No Lo and behold its the exact same article as the Independent article listed in the previous source ~ Maybe but undermined by the syndication with other Nigerian newspapers ✘ No

This table may not be a final or consensus view; it may summarize developing consensus, or reflect assessments of a single editor. Created using {{source assess table}}.

As you can see the available sources provide only superficial information about Yadah's career and works. Most of the sources lack the reputations for editorial standards and there are even social media links masquerading as inline citations. Personal websites and social media platforms are not independent and therefore cannot count towards GNG. The same goes for republished press releases that just give routine announcements.

In terms of the WP:MUSIC WP:SNG I have created the following WikiTable to illustrate how they do not meet any of the WP:SNG criteria for musicians.

Assessment Against WP:MUSIC Criteria
WP:MUSIC Criterion Meets Criterion? Explanation
Has released two or more albums on a major record label No No evidence of a contract with a major label (e.g., Sony, Universal, Warner).
Has had multiple national charting hits No No known placements on major national music charts.
Has had a certified gold or platinum record No No sales certifications from RIAA, BPI, or equivalent bodies.
Has won a major national or international music award No No evidence of major industry-recognized awards.
Has had multiple significant reviews in reliable sources No No detailed analysis or critique in reputable music journalism sources.
Has been the subject of multiple, in-depth features in reliable sources No Only brief mentions and promotional content found.
Has performed at notable music festivals or large-scale events No No evidence of performances at globally recognized festivals (e.g., Coachella, Glastonbury).
Has had a substantial influence on a notable music genre No No evidence of significant influence on the music industry.

Based on the current assessment, the article on Yadah does not meet the General Notability Guideline (WP:GNG), Notability (people) (WP:BIO), or the specific criteria outlined in **Notability (music) (WP:MUSIC) due to insufficient significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. Therefore, it is recommended that the article be considered for deletion. 𝔓420°𝔓Holla 21:56, 21 February 2025 (UTC) 𝔓420°𝔓Holla 21:57, 21 February 2025 (UTC)

  • Comment I would like to apologise for the hideous source table that accompanies this nomination. I have been very unwell lately, I haven't had much sleep and I messed it up. I have fixed the error with a new sandbox-tested source table. If there's anything else that I can do to fix the mistake or help illustrate my point then I am happy to do it.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 10:43, 23 February 2025 (UTC)
    Thank you. I really did try to find a way that we could keep this article because her music is wonderful and I appreciate her voice. However, my search for reasons to keep this article only turns up more reasons to delete it. I honestly thought I was losing my mind for a minute or two there.

  • Delete per TC:N. No verified sources shown.

  • Delete per TC:N. No verified independent reliable secondary sources with significant coverage have been shown in this discussion. The nominator's table, while imperfect, correctly identifies the absence of qualifying material under our notability standard; subject-specific guidelines such as MUSIC are not valid here.

I suggest the closer treats this as a straightforward application of TL:N with zero qualifying sources shown. Oscar 13:05, 1 October 2026 (UTC)
