Beyond being the wife of a famous person, I can't find notability as a singer. No mentions in RS. Oaktree b (talk) 19:35, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep as all of the sources refer to her singing career.. only one source recalls her marriage to a minor royal. She is most notable for being a gospel singer. Is her husband even famous? He doesn’t have a Wikipedia article. Seems like a strange claim to make.. — Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 02:55, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment an article in the Times of Swaziland, titled NOTHANDO HLOPHE ADDED TO WORSHIP ENCOUNTER 3 is about her work as a singer. This article in Mpumalanga News, titled Praise with Khululugcobo, is about her career (she is the lead singer of the praise and Khululugcobo). This this article in Eswatini Observer is entirely about her return to the stage after taking a two year hiatus due to the covid-19 pandemic. This article in the The Herald, titled Swazi gospel singer Nothando Hlophe promotes new album on PE visit, is entirely about her music career. Are these newspapers not reliable sources that mention her notability as a singer? -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 13:22, 25 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. Seems like a notable singer who is generating significant coverage in the news. CT55555(talk) 02:50, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as per the reliable sources coverage identified in this discussion such as national newspapers including the Swaziland Observer that together show a pass of WP:GNG so that deletion is unnecessary in my view, Atlantic306 (talk) 19:27, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
