Someone claiming to be the subject of the article has asked at the Teahouse that it be deleted. Of course the subject's wishes are not the main consideration; if the subject is notable, the article should not be deleted. But fundamentally this is a piece of gossip, sourced to gossip. In summary: Prostitute conned a client out of an eyewatering amount of cash, got jailed and had a very small controversy over whether they should be paid for making a public health advert. It's not hard to find newspaper articles and interviews; the subject is clearly the sort of person who aims to get interviewed and seen driving a big car [1]. But these look to me like gossip-column stuff befitting the Daily Mail. Unsurprisingly, when I search for her British victim's name, the only UK news source seems to be the Daily Mail. I cannot assess the reliability of the Ugandan press, but it seems to me possible that the subject is, in fact, a minor figure famous for one event only, this article serving only to enhance her fame/notoriety (whichever way you look at it). Definitely worth a second opinion on whether this is the sort of stuff we want in WP. Elemimele ( talk) 20:44, 31 May 2023 (UTC)

- Delete. No in-depth coverage in independent, reliable sources. Wikipedia is also WP:NOTNEWS—nothing in the article or a brief DuckDuckGo query has yielded enough information that would expand this article beyond a catalog of news that involves the subject.
