Was deprodded with the rationale, " avoid any possible systematic bias for any of the 3 possible factors (Africa, woman, education studies) or the intersection of all 3, should be a decision at afd." Searches did not turn up enough to show they pass WP:GNG, and her position and citations don't appear to show she passes WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:16, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No RS and searching turns up little. GS does not show strong citation record for someone claimed to have "over 100 publications, including textbooks, articles". Agricola44 (talk) 13:42, 19 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete as failing WP:Prof. She has published stuff but not enough notice of it has been taken yet. Xxanthippe (talk) 06:26, 23 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]
weak Keep if article is improved. Offorma has an h-index of 8, she was the former President of The World Council on Curriculum and Instruction (WCCI)[1] Since 2016, a fellow at The Nigerian Academy of Education.[2] Three editor-in-chief and three other editor positions on journals and Dean of the Faculty of Education (2008 -2010).[3] University faculty pages are not generally a WP:RS, but we could probably do some digging to find them. Given these, I think she qualifies for requirements 1,3,6,8 as per WP:PROF.Fred (talk) 21:57, 24 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
weak Keep partly based on what Frederika Eilers has found, partly on the fact I see her name in a lot of Google book hits with no preview so I can’t be sure notability isn’t established. Mccapra (talk) 05:33, 26 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Giving it some more time to find further sources.

Weak keep. The membership in the Nigerian Academy of Education appears to be enough for WP:PROF#C3. The academy doesn't have an article here but it appears to be well-established and respected. —David Eppstein (talk) 16:20, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

What is the evidence that it is "well established and respected"? Xxanthippe (talk) 06:16, 28 August 2019 (UTC).[reply]

Keep I am not sure the journals for which she is/has been editor-in-chief are "major" enough to qualify for WP:PROF#C8, but she passes WP:PROF#C3 as argued above. Her field is one in which I would expect Google Scholar counts to be mostly uninformative. XOR'easter (talk) 16:45, 27 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Per Frederika Eilers and XOR'easter. As a project, we are still in the early stages of filling in gaps on African topics, so it is not surprising that we don't have an article about the academy or the journals, and that shouldn't be held against the article subject.
