Zero references at Google Books and just 5 passing mentions at Google News, seems to fail WP:BIO. Bbarmadillo (talk) 10:06, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

For Google Books, I did not find any publishing on there but I found on Amazon here.

There are plenty of notable people in Nigeria whose notability is more pronounced on Traditional media than on online media and I think this man falls in that category too which may be the reason for the low mentions across Google News. Ladispeaks (talk) 22:18, 12 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The amazon bio looks like it was written by himself or his publisher, who seems to only publish books by Adeboye. There simply aren't any independent, reliable sources to create a verifiable encyclopedic article.--Vexations (talk) 10:44, 15 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I'm unable to find substantive intellectually independent coverage; there is a fair amount of fluff readily available. While a person in a similar position in the west may quite possibly have enough coverage for an article, I'm uncomfortable keeping purely on that basis.
