Non notable. trivial awards. No references providing substantial coverage from third-party independent reliable sources, not press releases or mere announcements DGG ( talk ) 05:48, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

• Keep. Hello DGG. The awards are not that trivial in a Ghanaean context where women's merrits are not that widely regarded. Furthermore the sources given look reliable: there is coverage about her at ghanaweb, womaninrising, Today Online, JACCD and Pease FM. They would not write about her if she was not notable. There has not been a monographhy written about her, but that would apply to more than 95 % of all biographies on Wikipedia. --Gereon K. (talk) 08:10, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

  • To call someones Wikipedia article "regurgitated" is an aggressive insult. Please refrain from attacking fellow Wikipedians. Ever heard of AGF? --Gereon K. (talk) 07:18, 12 September 2019 (UTC)
• Keep per Gereon K. Senegambianamestudy (talk) 00:25, 12 September 2019 (UTC)

an arguement for keep seema to be that in a more equitable world she would be notable, but WP covers the world as it is. DGG ( talk ) 10:29, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

And in this world you have seen that there are even more references added now, references from the press. And all these don't look like she was press releasing but that there was a genuine interest in her. --Gereon K. (talk) 20:30, 14 September 2019 (UTC)

• Keep: I don't actually agree with the other "Keep" !votes and this seems like a borderline case to me, but there is just enough SIGCOV here to suggest notability. The awards don't qualify for WP:ANYBIO. For WP:GNG: the Today article certainly qualifies; the Pulse interview is a primary source and Ghanaweb article is not clearly a reliable source; this Ghana Star article is GNG-level source for her company. So the subject does not strictly pass GNG strictly, but I think there's enough of a soft case to be made. — MarkH21 (talk) 06:21, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
• Keepmore refs have been added. The awards and recognition part of the article makes it clear she is notable and has been recognized.Nattes à chat (talk) 08:32, 17 September 2019 (UTC)
