BLP of a businessman nominated for a non notable business award. The article relies on his own recycled PR for sourcing. Mccapra (talk) 15:05, 16 July 2022 (UTC)

- Keep this person is notable by English Wikipedia standards all the articles selected for the initial creation of this article was carefully selected to meet all the criteria set out for BLP's. This article has the stub template as well meaning even though its notable it can be improved further.Owula kpakpo (talk) 18:43, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
- refs 1, 5 and 6 are the same press release recycled in churnalism three times over. Ref 9 is obviously based on his own PR. Apart from that he’s won a chamber of commerce award and some other business awards. None of this shows he’s notable, just that he has a well-oiled publicity machine.

- You acknowledge that he has won a chamber of commerce award and some other business awards but then proceed to say it doesn't show notability. At this point maybe you can tell me what is more notable in the Ghanaian context than these awards, mind you as Wikipedians we must be objective and unbiased in all we write on the platform. A chamber of commerce award is a major award in the Ghanaian context and definitely passes for notability. The articles I added too all talk different things in different contexts.Owula kpakpo (talk) 15:41, 22 July 2022 (UTC)

- Delete after looking through the sources, all seem promotional and are likely not independent or based on press releases. An image caption like "Dr. Emmanuel Bortey Borketey luxurious office" does not demonstrate reliable, independent journalism. Additionally, most or all of the sources do not provide sigcov (such as #3, which has two sentences about him, one of which is a quote). Nowhere do I see a proper biography of Borketey, and it seems the "Early life and education" section is unsourced. Finally, I see no real claim to notability, partly due to the scarcity of biographical information. This is a fairly successful businessman who has engaged in some local but well-publicized philanthropy and has received some recognition for his business success. But in a less flattering light, he runs a non-notable company that produces non-notable products and has received non-notable awards from non-notable organizations (though I apologize for my harshness here). Although the creator is well-meaning, I think the case for deletion is fairly strong here. Toadspike (talk) 03:21, 24 July 2022 (UTC)
- Delete all sourcing in the article is churnalism. The only piece of information about him that I am able to find which appears otherwise is a piece of crime reporting from two weeks ago on his lawsuit for his defective Range Rover, which is WP:ROUTINE.
