The online encyclopedia, Wikipedia, is considering deleting the profile of Ghanaian TikTok star, Asantewaa because of a request by one of its editors. The editor argued Asantewaa needs to have a career to be featured on the platform, and the sources cited in her profile are not independent and cannot establish notability. The deletion request has elicited mixed reactions from the Wiki community, with some supporting it and others opposing it.
Those opposing the deletion argue that being a TikToker and an established brand influencer is a career, and the sources cited in her profile are independent. They also claim that the nominator’s argument that social media influencer isn’t a “real” career is unnecessarily disrespectful. As per Wikipedia’s notability clauses, subjects featured on the platform must be notable or “worthy of notice,” which is not necessarily dependent on fame, importance, or popularity.
