Former BLP PROD. Fails WP:GNG. Although one source has now been added it, like the references listed, appears to be self-published. The article also appears to be an autobiography. roleplayer 18:19, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment - When you compare this Afd with another BLP Afd (e.g. Melody Green), then one cannot but feel that something fishy must be going on here. Let's briefly compare these 2 BLP articles: in the case of Melody Green (widow of Keith Green), author of several books,[1][2] a woman who is mentioned all over the internet, of whom scores of reputable newspapers and magazines have written about (thus fulfilling WP:GNG), a woman who has appeared several times on US & international radio & tv stations, the woman who co-wrote the popular Christian hymn "There is a Redeemer" - this very article of Melody Green was suddenly dumped into Afd on 21 November 2010, and exactly 7 (seven) days later on 28 November 2010 an admin deleted the article because 2 (two) editors voiced their *Delete* recommendation. Compare this with the Tochukwu Ipere article, a person who is not known in Nigeria or outside of Nigeria, of whom there are no relevant or reliable sources available, an article which does not establish notability via WP:GNG and WP:AUTHOR - this article which ought to have been deleted long ago, has now been relisted twice, thus extending the Afd to 21 (twenty one) days. One wonders why Melody Green's article, a clearly notable person, got deleted within 7 days (with 2 delete recommendations), and this non-notable article continues to waste Wikipedia's server bandwidth for 21 days? Could the admin who is responsible for this relisting, please stop relisting this non-notable article and go ahead and delete the article? Thank you.
