Not notable as an author, neither notable as an academic and certainly not notable as a table tennis player. Fails WP:GNG, WP:AUTHOR, WP:ACADEMIC. Sourcing is passing mentions, own work, no SIGCOV, no RS. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 09:28, 20 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Bizuum Yadok is notable as an author and poet. He has authored King of the Jungle (a novel) and Echoes of the Plateau:Poems which are found online. A Google search shows he's notable. He's mentioned in this article Sueddie Agema. Some of his poems, short stories and articles are published in reliable sources like news papers, and books. They're also verifiable. He's making impact as a 21st century writer. The article can, however, still be improved instead of being deleted. Thanks Ezra Cricket (talk) 16:15, 26 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A person whose works are published in reliable sources like news, google books, and journals shows their relevance and importance to humanity and the society at large. His works and contributions are covered in secondary and reliable sources. Bizuum Yadok meets WP:GNG, WP: Writer and WP: Academic. Moreover, the article's being expanded. Thanks, Ezra Cricket (talk).

While I do see a lot of quality writing from this individual, I don't see many sources about the individual for WP:BASIC, or sources that provide evidence that the subject meets WP:WRITER via their work. Ezra Cricket (or anyone else) can you provide WP:THREE sources that demonstrate one or the other. Also please note WP:NOTCV, so this article is not in a good state. Leaning delete for now. —siro χ o 07:15, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. Article is a CV. Subject has produced a lot of work, but GS does not show any of it being cited. 128.252.212.40 (talk) 19:58, 4 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Final relist to acknowledge large changes that have happened to the article since its nomination last month. It could be that they have resulted in a longer article, not an improved article, but that is for participants to judge.

Comment. Fine to relist, but with content like this: Bizum's hobbies are: Reading, Creative Writing, watching Films, and Playing Table Tennis, you probably could have boldly closed. :) 128.252.212.40 (talk) 19:12, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. [1] has serialized their work, but sadly, this appears to be another Nigerian PROMO article, more fluff than substance. I'm glad the individual enjoys table tennis, more of a baseball fan myself. Oaktree b (talk) 20:03, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as per the nomination, and with content in the article like "Bizum's hobbies are: Reading, Creative Writing, watching Films, and Playing Table Tennis", he just feels poorly sourced and not notable. IncompA 22:05, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
