Unelected candidate who does not pass WP:POLITICIAN on that basis, and has no strong or properly sourced claim of passing another notability criterion in its place. Also contains inappropriate personal details — we don't care what football club he's a fan of, or how many children he has — that nudge this just a bit too close to being a campaign brochure and a WP:NOTADVERTISING violation. Delete; no prejudice against recreation of a better-sourced and more appropriately encyclopedic version if he wins. Bearcat (talk) 18:40, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Keep - Being a local monarch in his hometown of Igarra (Akoko Edo Local Government Area of Edo State) + significant press coverage in reliable sources like Vanguard Newspaper, The Guardian (Nigeria) & Nigerian Observer 1 makes him pass at least 1 of the 4 guidelines stated in WP:POLITICIAN. PS: In Nigeria Towns make up LGA, LGA make up States and States make up a Country. He is a prominent ruler in Igarra.

Comment: What he has is an honorary traditional title for his contribution to his community. He is not even the major traditional ruler in his town. IMO does not pass WP:Politician and has not garnered sufficient coverage for WP:GNG. Darreg (talk) 16:04, 12 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]
