The article mentions him as American, but there are few sources in google news. I expect notable Americans to be covered more in English media. Marvellous Spider-Man 05:56, 13 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Strong Keep @ Marvellous Spider-Man Respectfully disagree - that is a subjective opinion as an editor. The media (which half are american based) sources confirm his nationality. The article is about an international person. See World News Network reference. Did you even look at the talk pages? If you took the time to look at the sources you would objectively know the user is indeed who they say he is. Rather that put a AFD on the article you should have removed the american references and put into correct category.

Keep notable. authority control ISNI and Voice of America reference do it for me. 19:27, 13 December 2016 (UTC)Mnanonymous (talk)

Comment. After google.com I searched with Google Nigeria settings, google.com.ng , and the only reliable result was from ynaija.com. And the two sources had passing mention.

Social media week is also not a strong source.

Guardian source is not The Guardian source, it's a different website. And the source has a passing mention. Doesn't discuss the subject in depth.

afrolicious is user generated and the link doesn't work. 404 not found.

master plan event is a primary source and the source doesn't cover the subject indepth.Other sources has brief mention.

Voice of America. The actual source given in the article is is a video about other people. The other Voice of America link is a fake site which has no connection to Voice of America.

He is related to Visual Collaborative, which was also nominated for deletion, Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Visual Collaborative and closed as no consensus. Marvellous Spider-Man 04:28, 14 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment The Voice of America source has a direct interview with him which you have to scrub to. imho which satisfies WP:BIO & WP:DIRECTOR ? VOA uploaded the: cut video found here (editors obviously cant use a youtube link as a source). Other link is a VoiceAmerica link which is not the same as Voice of America. Two different media companies but very legit. The 404 afrolicious link you can find here: https://web.archive.org/web/20161008132429/https://afrolicious.com/the-africas-amplified-with-ade-olufeko/ numerous incoming links to the article subject will be cut. i think all the other weak sources the original editor put in can be edited out leaving the good ones. cheers 09:34, 14 December 2016 (UTC)Eightnisan
Strong Keep Agree with (Mnanonymous) and (Eightnisan) Usatechnologist (talk) 01:52, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Two are non-neutral votes from editors editing mostly Visual Collaborative and Adé Olufeko, before voting in this AFD. Marvellous Spider-Man 01:59, 16 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The article listed above is actually his profile on a fan page for Kim Kardashian. The hyperbolic praise in the language used makes it clear he wrote it himself. There is no other acceptable reference,either. DGG ( talk ) 21:16, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete and I comment here because of the sheer dangerous closeness we are to a Keep when it'# clear the sources are still only published and republished or complete with named mentions which are a classic example of overinflation, so it's damning we are actually considering Keep by that alone. We have explicit policies for such blatant advertising PR and this is one of them, regardless of whatever it whenever he was involved with or what he said. As it is, the Keeps above are from obvious COIs. SwisterTwister talk 21:39, 26 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
