Not yet notable per WP:MUSICBIO. All I can find in an online search in English is about the same as the current sources: a mix of interviews (WP:PRIMARY) in RS like Daily Trust, Daily Nigerian and Nigerian Tribune, and puff pieces on music blogs. The RS also pretty consistently describe her as "upcoming", "budding", etc. She's put out a single EP, with no charts in evidence, the sources cited for regular radio rotation are music blogs, and the station named isn't national per WP:MUSICBIO #11.

- @ Vanderwaalforces for WP:MUSICBIO . 11. Of it talked about air rotation play and this was cited [1] Princeisrael2728 ( talk) 14:26, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- WP:MUSICBIO #11 says "Has been placed in rotation nationally by a major radio or music television network", and HotFM is not a national radio station. Wikishovel ( talk) 14:30, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
- Hi there. That piece from Leadership is obviously a paid piece, I know that. Even if it is not, the headline is disproportionate to the content. Moreover, Hot FM is not a national radio station, so I am curious how they can achieve a national rotation.

- @
Vanderwaalforces I see hot FM has branches in major cities like Lagos, Abuja, Oweri, Port Harcourt

- That doesn't make it a national radio, not as far as I can tell.

- @ Vanderwaalforces the cite also mention Vybes FM and others

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗ plicit 10:52, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
- Delete: The guideline states may be notable if they meet at least one of the criteria and WP:MUSICBIO #11 is a weak claim for notability even if supported, especially for a contemporary musician where in-depth coverage by independent RS should be easily available. All of the sources say essentially the same things and/or are interviews and were all published within a month which suggests PR and also fails WP:SUSTAINED.
