- Delete there is no claim of notability made in the article. Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 14:28, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
- Keep Subject in article does meet notability at least WP:BIO, unless all notable sources from Ghana should not be regarded as reliable sources, which would not sound right. The article demonstrates meeting the notability tag, but article needs to be improved. Subject from the basic research done is a notable actor in Ghana and West Africa.
