Don't Delete: The reason is he is a veteran Ghanaian actor and has featured in a lot of movie before he passed on so kindly maintain it, you can also research about him to get much fact done tagging for speedy deletion.Jwale2 (talk) 21:45, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: You will have to be more specific as to how this subject - and other articles of yours that I have tagged for deletion - meet the notability requirements outlined in WP:ENT or WP:GNG. These have to be demonstrated through reliable secondary sources. nearlyevil 665 21:57, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: The subject in the article is a veteran actor in Ghana. 3 out of 4 sources provided in the article are reliable and independent sources. These references are top news outlets in Ghana. Myjoyonline, Citi Fm Citinewsroom and peacefmonline. Article needs to be improved rather than deleted. Ampimd (talk) 08:45, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete does not meet notability guidelines. How and why is this actor from Ghana different from every other actor? There dont’ seem to be enough facts in the citations or the article would be longer. Star7924 (talk) 23:20, 28 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment This actor from Ghana is not different from other Actors, The actor actually does meet both WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR, considering the improvements the article does have a good coverage that actually needs to be improved. I doubt taking it off is the best choice. The subject was a veteran actor in Ghana, West Africa, Acting in top movies in both Ghana and Nigeria. His death alone generated enough buzz, being covered by all top news outlets and entertainment platforms in Nigeria, Ghana and other African countries. Take it off leaves would create a gap that would have to be started all over again to fill in considering the efforts being put through numerous Edit-a-thons to work on African theatre and cinema. I hope my comments are considered. NB; Article has been improved in all aspects since its nomination Ampimd (talk) 15:05, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: per nom, does have mentions but not significant coverage to pass WP:NACTOR CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:00, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: CommanderWaterford, Star7924 Carefully go through the article and have a look at the citations within the article. https://books.google.com.gh/books?id=BktpS2StnxQC&q=Eddie+Coffie&pg=PA286&redir_esc=y#v=snippet&q=Eddie%20Coffie&f=false This alone gives a number of top movies the subject appeared in during that period. The article was started as part of a Edit-a-thon to ensure that notable movies and actors which meet the notability tag from Africa are covered on wikipedia, I believe just deleting it without giving a chance for improvement would mean just deciding to get such articles off. The article has been improved immensely since its nomination but still needs to be improved no doubt. Ampimd (talk) 12:21, 7 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
