Koko Da Doll: Possibly WP:TOOSOON .  This person only started receiving coverage in reliable sources after being killed early this year.  The event does not show any indication of having any WP:LASTING effect.  I'm not seeing anything notable here.

SparklyNights 19:36, 13 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] (update) Keep based on Beccaynr's sources, WP:BASIC seems to be met.  (Original alternative)  To improve overall coverage for readers, we can merge to Kokomo City as WP:NOPAGE unless further sources are found to expand the article.  However, this doesn't meet BLP1E/BIO1E - subject is notable both for death and the later wide release of the film.   — siro χ o 20:10, 13 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Note:  This discussion has been included in the list of Georgia (U.S. state)-related deletion discussions .  Spiderone (Talk to Spider) 20:23, 13 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Keep - reliable sources seem to support her WP:BASIC notability before her death, e.g. AP Apr 21, 2023: "Koko Da Doll, an Atlanta woman who gained notice in a documentary about transgender Black women and the dangers they face"; Rolling Stone , Apr 21, 2023: "Koko was one of the four stars of Kokomo City, along with fellow Black trans women Dominique Silver, Liyah Mitchell, and Daniella Carter. The film, which won two awards at Sundance when it premiered in January"; Variety , Apr. 20, 2023: "Koko, whose given name is Rasheeda Williams, was a prominent transgender woman featured in the award-winning documentary “Kokomo City,”" (this source also discusses more film awards, and the planned theater release after Sundance); Hollywood Reporter , Apr. 21, 2023: "In her review of the doc, THR critic Lovia Gyarkye wrote , “Violence — both real and anticipated — is the most obvious thematic thread, but competing for space and attention is beauty.”" There is some limited additional information about her music career in Them and the AJC ; her death also seems to have increased her notability, based on the secondary context in which her death is reported by multiple sources, and commentary about violence against trans people, e.g. NYT .  Beccaynr ( talk ) 20:51, 17 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] Other sources, including continuing coverage, seem to further support her notability: BET Awards honor Koko Da Doll by telling her story ‘in front of millions’ (HITC, Jun. 26, 2023); Remembering the Trans and Nonbinary People Lost to Violence This Year (Advocate, May 26, 2023); and there are reviews after the documentary release in theaters with a focus on her, e.g. NYT , Jul 27, 2023: "In a tragic reminder of the film’s life-or-death stakes, one of the documentary subjects, Koko Da Doll, was fatally shot in April, just months after the film’s premiere at the Sundance Film Festival. But here, Koko brims with vitality, ambition and insight"; and coverage, e.g. CNN July 27, 2023.  Some biographical coverage, based on an interview: MLive , Jun. 12, 2023.  Beccaynr ( talk ) 23:25, 17 October 2023 (UTC) [ reply ] And she was receiving coverage before her death; because coverage of her death was so substantial, it is farther back in a search, but e.g. Variety review, Jan. 27, 2023; Hollywood Reporter review, Feb 16 2023, ScreenDaily , Jan 29, 2023; reviews after death related to the release in theaters also include LAT , Irish Times ; the Guardian also notes the film was dedicated to her: From Barbie to Talk to Me, trans actors’ visibility is at a tipping point – and about time too (Aug. 14, 2023).  And the film has recently been nominated for a Critics' Choice Documentary Awards for Best Documentary Feature.  e.g. Variety , Hollywood Reporter .
