fails WP:ANYBIO and WP:NOTSOAPBOX the sources are a mix of PR puff pieces product placement, blogs and interviews. The article makes false claims such as "He was named one of the 100 most influential Nigerians in 2017" whereas the source states "LIST OF 100 MOST INFLUENTIAL PEOPLE IN CHRISTIAN MINISTRY IN NIGERIA".

Keep -- An entrepreneur who created a $10 million business from nothing ought to be notable. I agree there is far too much puff. Peterkingiron (talk) 17:47, 20 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I'm sorry but $10 million is not that big of a deal and secondly did you have a look at the source that claims it is worth this much? With quotes like "Adewale is married to the most beautiful woman in the world; the sultry, elegant, irresistible Oluwatoyin and they are blessed with two princess Ruby and Zoe" this does not look like a serious bit of journalism. It also claims he graduated from the Medill school of journalism that has produced 38 Pulitzer prize winners...they produced 28 so not good on fact checking.

Keep - I created the article. I will edit accordingly and remove the puff. He is a notable entrepreneur in Nigeria who built a million dollar business from the scratch. Please keep. Thank you.
Delete. There is specific criteria for inclusion in an encyclopedia. Arguments like, "He's a good person," or "I am impressed with," should not be part of AfD. We should be pointing to criteria like WP:ANYBIO and, above all, WP:GNG and say the subject does not meet those criteria. It's not a judgement call on the individual, simply they are not notable enough for inclusion in a world-wide encyclopedia, WP:NOTBIBLIOGRAPHY. Ifnord (talk) 21:17, 27 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete: I have gone through this subject earlier, and discovered he wasn't notable. I can't go back to my findings. Reply for the keep above - The $10m dollar claim is not from a very reliable source.HandsomeBoy (talk) 22:34, 1 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
