Subject of article does not possess in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources. A WP:BEFORE easily substantiate that. Per WP:NACTOR we observe three criteria, he fails the second and third woefully & as for the first criterion, he has appeared in a Television show but does not partake in a significant role as WP:NACTOR states.

Duke Elvis though he does not play the lead role in The Johnsons TV series, he plays a very important role/character as ABULU,see link https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10437170/?ref_=nv_sr_srsg_4 And also, The Johnsons is not the only TV production he has featured in, he has featured in other notable movies as well, see links; https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11041194/ https://www.imdb.com/title/tt7295338/ https://www.nollywoodreinvented.com/2017/08/happyness-limited.html https://www.imdb.com/title/tt11989466/fullcredits/?ref_=tt_ov_st_sm https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRq5HV8hi-o the above are just some of the notable movies Duke Elvis has featured in. I am not in support of the deletion of Duke Elvis rather, other editors can properly edit it if need be. --VictorHB (talk) 01:33, 26 April 2020 (UTC) This page was only created out of observation that a notable and public figure in the Nigerian movie industry such as Duke Elvis did not have a wiki page. Duke Elvis is featured in quite a number of movies and a very popular TV series The Johnsons where he played one of the major comic roles as ABULU. He is also a movie producer working on his first production project stated to be out this year. Duke Elvis has a large fan base both online and offline in Nigeria and other parts of Africa, this can be seen on his social media accounts and on the internet. Duke Elvis has made a whole lot of contributions to the Nigerian movie industry and as such deserves a wiki page. The proof to all what I have said can be found within the page by using the Citations and links in the page. So I am not in support of the Deletion of this page. Thank you.[reply]

VictorHB, feel free to provide in this AFD any reliable source that discusses the subject of our discussion with in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources.Celestina007 (talk) 23:38, 25 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@VictorHB: You claimed his role as Abulu is "major" but ended up admitting he isn't a major character and that he only "becomes one of the lead roles occasionally" when "actors playing the series lead role are not around". This particular note you left on Celestina007's talk page and the statements you've made here are contradictory to say the least. Generally speaking, main characters remain main characters for the duration of the show. Just because a main character is absent in a particular episode does not mean their position as a main character has been demoted. If you're going to claim he is a main character, you need to provide a reliable source stating this. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 00:28, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. He had a minor role in the TV series The Johnsons. None of the other films he appeared in are notable. A Google search of him doesn't show him being discussed in reliable secondary sources. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 00:02, 26 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - a Google search of the subject doesn't show significant coverage of the subject, asides from "The Johnsons", none of his work as yet can be said to meet notability standards. He may be able to attain sufficient notability in the future. Philphleg (talk) 10:39, 29 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per above. Antila333 (talk) 13:44, 1 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Delete: The subject falls a little short of the requisite notability requirements, in my opinion. Dflaw4 (talk) 03:29, 3 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
