Tiktoker Asantewaa’s Profile on Wikipedia to be deleted?

Tue, 2 May 2023 Source: Club Mate

So there's some news going around that the Wikipedia page of a famous Ghanaian Tiktoker, Asantewaa, might get deleted. Apparently, one of the editors has argued that she doesn't have a career to speak of, which is a requirement to be featured on Wikipedia. They also claimed that all the sources cited in her profile aren't independent of her, which makes it difficult to establish her notability.




This has led to mixed reactions from people within the Wiki community. Some support the deletion request, while others are demanding a retraction and apology. Some have argued that being a Tiktoker is a legitimate career, and that Asantewaa has become an established brand influencer. They've also added independent sources to her profile to prove her notability.

However, those supporting the deletion argue that Asantewaa isn't a notable influencer because there aren't any reliable sources that talk extensively about her. They claim that making funny videos doesn't make someone noteworthy.

Asantewaa, whose real name is Martina Dwamena, has gained a huge following on TikTok during the COVID-19 pandemic. She has 2.8 million followers on TikTok and 86.1 million likes on her videos. According to Wikipedia's guidelines, profiles or subjects must be notable or worthy of notice. Fame, importance, or popularity aren't the only factors to determine notability.

So, that's the latest update on Asantewaa's Wikipedia page.
