non-notable doctor. Fails the guidelines on MEDIC, GNG, and any other one you want to follow. Claim to fame is that an obscure competition selected him to fly to space in 2015, there is no evidence that he actually went to space, nor is there any RS that shows that this competition is notable enough to confer notability on its winners. Page has been recreated multiple times, deleted each time.

• Delete. The subject lacks in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. Being a non-notable medical doctor who might be traveling to space isn't a valid ground for keep.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 18:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: Subject of the article clearly meet
  inclusion criteria. Ptinphusmia (talk) 19:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Speedy Keep: The subject clearly meet
  reliable secondary sources. The Wired UK, The Guardian, Bussinessday, Vanguard Newspaper, Quartz Africa, ATQ News to mention a few. The subject is also the founder of Nigeria’s first and biggest independent real estate network marketing firm and has been named a One Young World Ambassador. The "space travel" is a tiny part of his biography and almost insignificant to the subject's notability. Kaizenify (talk) 13:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Keep I am seeing significant coverage by Qz.com, Nigerian Bulletin, Bellanajja and more. I note that there must be coverage in French sources too,[1] but since I don't speak French I can't find many of them but the subject easily meets

:@User:Harmanprtjhj This forum post is not something you want to being up in an AFD discussion. It shows that you have not read the GNG policy or have not understood it. Forum posts are not reliable sources. The rest of your sources are equally bad. The french source just says that he will not go to space, and Bella says that he might. NOTNEWS.

Juliette Han (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I provided the entire version of the report originally published by Daily Trust which is a

WP:RS and is pretty popular.[2] The above link for Nigerian Bulletin is just an entire version of that report. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 15:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply

• Delete unless sourcing is clearly improved. The first reference, for example, quotes him as the founder of the organization, rather than being detailed coverage about it. The 3rd reference, for the Meritorious Service award, is a link to a templated interview of him, rather than independent reporting. SarekOfVulcan (talk) 23:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Strong Keep per User:Kaizenify the article surely meet the requirements. An@ss_koko^{(speak up)} 08:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete frankly, half the sourcing doesn't actually say what the article wants it to say. ——Serial ^# 11:48, 26 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - fishy nom by sock. As far as my research has gotten my this one is within WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 18:08, 27 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, just struck and removed unreplied comments made by the sock. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 06:43, 28 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
