Delete - Admittedly, he comes close to notability with two feature articles about his business endeavors (currently footnotes #1 and #8 in the article). For now, he has worked with a lot of famous people but per WP:NOTINHERITED he does not gain notability from them. Per WP:NBUSINESSPERSON he needs more reliable and significant coverage in his own right because he runs a relatively small operation. WP:ANYBIO is a problem too, because running a viable business just isn't enough. This all makes the article look like an attempted promotion of his business. ---DOOMSDAYER520 (TALK|CONTRIBS) 14:43, 6 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep or weak delete. I don't really know enough about the reliability of Nigerian newspapers to say for sure. I would have thought that "Pulse" (source 8) is not reliable and so could not qualify to count toward notability. I think that the Guardian (number 1) is, and so would count, and I also found another in depth piece on him in Vanguard, which I also think is reliable. So if Pulse is reliable as DOOMSDAYER520 implied, then I think it would pass the threshold for qualifying. However, if it isn't, which I tend to think, then I don't think it would pass. Maybe this requires more commentary from someone with some knowledge or familiarity about Nigerian media publications. Chagropango (talk) 06:09, 8 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: WP:REFBOMB but no WP:SIGCOV. UtherSRG (talk) 12:30, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete agree with the ref bombing, lots of citations for not much bang. No GNG found. Oaktree b (talk) 16:22, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Comment — the Vanguard source is likely to be sponsored (no byline). The other sources are mostly interviews (probably accumulated for the sake of owning a Wikipedia entry). Best, Reading Beans (talk) 16:32, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above. The coverage made available does not satisfy WP:GNG. No objection to recreation in draftspace or userspace. Frank Anchor 16:46, 2 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete lack of secondary, reliable sourcing to satisfy the GNG. Regards, --Goldsztajn (talk) 11:14, 6 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
