After observing it had been flagged for notability & promo related issues I did a before search & it revealed that subject of the article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him thus doesn’t satisfy WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 10:59, 2 November 2020 (UTC)

A combination of an announcement & a sponsored post

✘ No |

A list article of 28 persons with very short biographies below their name entry, which in no way satisfies WP:SIGCOV hence has no value to WP:GNG.

This re-echoes the source no 3(above) already analyzed above but this time it doesn’t even discuss subject of our article hence of 0 value toward satisfying WP:GNG
|
✘ No |

- Comment — Above are the analysis of the sources used in the article. Celestina007 (talk) 11:06, 2 November 2020 (UTC)
- I do understand that the subject lacks in-depth coverage. However, I still believe that he has made much impact by investing in Nigerian startups like Paystack that was recently acquired for more than 200million dollars by a US-based payment company called Stripe.[1] I will suggest that it be kept and add the bio stub template
{{bio stub}}to it for further improvement. Uzoma Ozurumba (talk) 11:51, 3 November 2020 (UTC)

- Hello Celestina007, I am not quite sure I understand what you mean by the editor above is the creator. If you mean that I created the article in question, then you are wrong; you can crosscheck.:) Uzoma Ozurumba (talk) 16:21, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- @Uzoma Ozurumba, sorry for the confusion there, the article was indeed created by a certain editor named Blossom Ozurumba, the eerie similar name got me confused. In any case my argument is still very much valid. Celestina007 (talk) 17:25, 4 November 2020 (UTC)

- Furthermore, a portion of your comment above reads; I do understand that the subject lacks in-depth coverage. However, I still believe that he has made much impact by investing in Nigerian startups like Paystack that was recently acquired for more than 200million dollars, I simply don’t understand that thought process, if you know for a fact that as you have stated above that the subject of our discussion lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources that is required in WP:GNG why then would you argue in favor for a premature article? if you re-read WP:BIO or WP:GNG, you’d observe that investing in startup companies is never a criterion nor a yardstick used in determining notability of an individual. I’ve done a WP:BEFORE & a source assessment already, what else do I have to do? This is not even bother-line/bare notability this is an outright GNG fail.

- I apologise Celestina007 for putting the template and stressing you out, I will immediately remove it. Thank you.Uzoma Ozurumba (talk) 17:13, 4 November 2020 (UTC)
- I don’t get what template you speak of. I only pointed out to you an invalid argument you made by suggesting that the article is notable because he invested money in a startup company & I corrected you by telling you no notability criterion validates/substantiates your rationale.
