It is suspected that this article is a biographical entry which does not show appropriate notability. This article is about a person who is the co-creator of a written script, but who does not have any publicly available sources across the net - a google search only shows 3 entries, and 2 of those are duplicates. It is also suspected that the user who created the page is the subject of the article. Another user, involved with African Wikiprojects on Cote d'Ivoire (User:T L Miles has also agreed with this deletion on his talk page.) This person is not notable and this article requires removal. Was declined for speedy under {{db-bio}}. Recommended to place here instead. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 17:26, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Comment If the claims in this article are true, then he would certainly appear to be notable. Needs a lot of referencing added before it stops looking like a vanity bio though. Andy Dingley (talk) 17:53, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
• delete - not independent confirmations of recognition. Dzied Bulbash (talk) 19:18, 4 August 2008 (UTC)

• Delete as nominator of this AFD. Thor Malmjursson (talk) 01:57, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
• Delete However, the Historical Dictionary of Guinea (do a google book search) does thow up a Ibrahima Sori, who went by Ibrahima Barry. These are obviously not the same person, as Sori died in 1784, but perhaps we can have a redirect. --I'm an Editorofthewiki^{[citation needed]} 03:17, 10 August 2008 (UTC)
