Please Yvonne Ohene Djan is a notable entertainer in Ghana and is quite popular. The sources are not marketing materials Mellowdeaous (talk) 22:10, 26 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

comment The article as it stands is appalling (certainly the current promotional tone of the article does not help its case), but it appears that there may be a salvageable article from previous coverage [1], and [2]. Nevertheless, this would probably be marginal per

• Delete: "Notability" seems to be derived from singing some backing vocals but notability cannot be achieved by association. Producing (whayever that actually means) ONE film is not a ground for notability either. Emeraude (talk) 12:20, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• comment: Emeraude From the article the article seeks to highlight on her being the backing vocalist for several hit songs and top Ghanaian international musician, which is relevant to know. The notability is derived from singing backing vocals but not to just some songs, but considering the article and its scope, it seeks to highlight hit songs and top international musicians. That too me seems relevant, unless it isnt Ampimd (talk) 14:06, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Emeraude Just a simple googling of her name will show you that she is a celebrity who has achieved notable success in her field and all the source given are quality sources. Yes she has produced only one but the movie was recognized in Ghana and was one best movies that year Mellowdeaous (talk) 14:56, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• comment: After doing an extensive search on the subject, I believe it would be worth keeping the article and getting more reliable sources to back sections of the article, Her notability as stated above is in serving as the vocalist and composer to top Ghanaian musicians and to several hit songs in Ghana which went beyond Ghana, West Africa and even beyond. Considering songs related to Daddy Lumba, there would be a disconnect taking down the article when more sources are being added and drawings a better connection to those songs stated in the article.

Apart from serving as the number one backing vocalist to top musicians in Ghana, SHE (Yvonne Ohene Djan) has a song of her own, titled "Dream Lover" ^{[1] [2]} Mellowdeaous (talk) 22:09, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep From the references listed, and the little research done on the article, the subject fits the notability guideline and can be considered as a celebrity. It appears the subject is a famous backing vocalist for many top musicians in Ghana. However, I think the article leaves much to be desired. Applehead1000 (talk) 18:53, 3 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indy beetle (talk) No, I have not been paid to write. I only wrote the article because her contribution to the Ghana music industry is huge. Thank you.Mellowdeaous (talk) 03:30, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellowdeaous: I'm curious as to how you got your hands on this photo then and uploaded it as an "own work"? -Indy beetle (talk) 03:59, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Indy beetle (talk) I'm sorry, it is not my own work. The photo is from her Instagram account. Whenever I try to upload photos it doesn't work but when I choose this option it works that is why I did that. Mellowdeaous (talk) 09:06, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mellowdeaous: Please do not do that in the future. That's a copyright violation which is deeply frowned upon. -Indy beetle (talk) 09:12, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Indy beetle (talk) Okay, I hear. I'm relatively new in wikipedia editing. I'm still learning. Won't do that again. Thank you!Mellowdeaous (talk) 10:15, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly not the right place to ask this, but given Mellowdeaous admits that this image is a breach of copyright, is that also the case for this image the uploaded and claimed as their own work? https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Akua-serwaa-new.jpg @Indy beetle Dexxtrall (talk) 14:42, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Not for me to say, but I suspect all of their Commons contributions of Ghanaian musicians are copyvio problems. They should be forgiven for this misstep but the files probably have to go. -Indy beetle (talk) 14:48, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
