Move back to draftspace, a new editor made an unauthorized accepting of the draft and moved it to mainspace with the opinionated comment: Draft was extensively edited and looks well sourced. This does not address notability issues and is a bad idea especially after a draft declination which explains the issues with the draft. I will notify Kamagara on their talk page.

I was planning to move it to draft but couldn't find any decent coverage or anything of note. I had a look and listened to the music. I think it is only a matter of time before she is back, or sooner if she breaks with a good track, in the west. scope_creep^Talk 13:54, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I voted to delete the first version of this article a year ago, under the WP:TOOSOON standard. It looks like the singer's career has progressed since then, but I remain skeptical of the sources used in the article. The sources about her music uniformly contain language that would not be used by objective music journalists, and they show the patterns of the usual African hype sites that reprint press releases. The sources used to back up her charity work are about larger efforts and organizations in which she merely participated. I think it is still WP:TOOSOON but will defer to the Draftspace team on what to do. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:08, 16 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Move back to draftspace per WaddlesJP13. No reason not to let it continue to develop there.4meter4 (talk) 19:18, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
