WP:BLP of a writer and purported politician, not properly referenced as passing our notability criteria for either writers or politicians. Notability is WP:NOTINHERITED, so he isn't automatically entitled to an article just because his father has one -- but this article concentrates exclusively on life trivia about his family and educational background, while not actually saying anything about him that would actually constitute a notability claim as either a politician or a writer.
The claim that he's a politician, for example, is not backed up by even one word about him ever actually being involved in politics in any way that would satisfy WP:NPOL -- and the claim that he wrote a book is metareferenced solely to his own book itself, rather than to any reliable source coverage about his book to get him over WP:CREATIVE as an author. And even the other footnotes that are present here discuss him almost exclusively in the context of his family members, rather than in the context of him doing anything that would constitute a notability claim -- there are a couple of sources about him having opinions, but no sources which demonstrate that he ever did anything "inherently" notable about his opinions (such as actually getting elected to political office.)
I'm willing to withdraw this if somebody with a lot more knowledge about Ghanaian politics than I have can actually locate and add a genuine notability claim -- but as written, not even one word in this article is a notability claim at all as it stands right now, because people aren't notable just for being sons, husbands or siblings of other people.

Delete, Per nomination and WP:NOTINHERITED, being one of the sons of a president can't be sufficient to establish notability especially when there are lack of any other sign of notability. ☆★Mamushir (✉✉) 12:43, 18 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
