- Delete The claim of being featured in a BBC documentary looks significant at first glance, but after looking into it he's one of several who appeared in a multi-part TV series. The article is also extremely promotional, with several paragraphs reading like some sort of personal sales brochure, with sentences like, "His touching story is enough to bring back the dead dreams of an average student." and worse.

- The fact that an article is poorly written is usually not a valid reason for deletion, especially if the subject of the article is notable like this one. In addition, the maintenance tags such as {{multiple issues}} exist for reasons and could probably be used in any of these cases. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 09:31, 16 May 2015 (UTC)
Note to closing Admin: User:Samat lib and User: Kokobenin are currently under investigation for possible Sockpuppetry as User: Kokobenin account was specifically created for disruptive purpose probably by User:Samat lib to always support their hilarious nominations at AfDs.

- Keep - sources supplied support GNG —МандичкаYO 😜 08:19, 20 May 2015 (UTC)
- Keep, the sources provided by User:Wikicology pretty clearly indicate that Obuh meets the GNG, with coverage in both local and Western sources. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:50, 30 May 2015 (UTC).
- Keep per the significant coverage in reliable sources provided by Wikicology (talk · contribs). There is substantial coverage of Eric Obuh in this articleInternet Archive from China Daily. There is also detailed coverage of him in articles in China, Ghana, Niger, and the United Kingdom.
There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Eric Obuh to pass Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".
