- Keep easily meets WP:GNG. His career and the app he founded have been profiled by secondary sources. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:34, 11 July 2017 (UTC)
- As a technologist and a religious figure, he is far from meeting our specific guidelines of notability for such fields. That leaves us with just WP:GNG. The app he developed isn't significant enough to confer automatic notability on its creator per WP:NOTINHERITED. I went through the references in the article and that is certainly not my definition of multiple significant coverage for a BLP. Notable religious figures in Nigeria always have routine coverage that shouldn't be difficult in establishing GNG. My suggestion for this new and promising editor that seem interested in clergymen is that he/she should consider articles for Sam Adeyemi (who was even the mentor of Godman Akinlabi), Poju Oyemade, Paul Adefarasin, etc. These pastors will clearly pass GNG. His church was even founded in this decade! If there was an article for his app, I would have suggested a redirect to it. If you can post three references that discusses him significantly, then I will change to keep. For now, I see nothing noteworthy in his career as a pastor. Darreg (talk) 09:05, 12 July 2017 (UTC)
- You just pointed out that "we are left with just GNG" which I think you know is what Wikipedia depends on. This source from Vanguard and this one from The Nation discusses his Believers Connect app, this one by YNaija mentions/profiles his church. Pulse Nigeria covered his career here. There are also deep interviews from Thisday. —Oluwa2Chainz »» (talk to me) 21:55, 13 July 2017 (UTC)

- Just to be clear, when I speak of specific guidelines for religious figures, I am talking of rationales such as being a Catholic/Anglican Bishop, being the head pastor of a significantly large congregation, etc. Back to the article, I do not agree that the subject 100% passes GNG, but the references you've provided show that as a relationship coach and youth pastor, he's probably well covered. I'm now really indifferent. Darreg (talk) 08:17, 22 July 2017 (UTC)
