Hi, Celestina007, got a notification of you recommending that this article be deleted and it was a bit surprising for me, seeing that the person in this article is a notable Tech expert/speaker in Nigeria and has been featured on many credible media in the country and internationally. As a matter of fact, she was even listed as one of the top 30 persons in Africa by Forbes. I left some of these references on this article and I'm surprised by the nomination for it to be deleted. But I would like to know if there is anything I could do to make the article better. Cheers. Felixdgreat. —Preceding undated comment added 04:24, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Felixdgreat, she may be a tech speaker(whatever that means) be on the list of Forbes whatever but per gng we require in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of the subject to establish notability. Celestina007 (talk) 04:59, 6 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@Celestina007, thanks for your prompt response, much appreciated. However, I think there are some credible independent sources cited... Forbes is a global body and hugely recognized for their listings and there's also the world bank verifying her and her business as legit. And of course, a few of the top media houses in the country wrote about her independently(I made sure to avoid interview links) to avoid something like this. I'm keen to get this to work as I think she deserves a page for the work she does in the Nigerian tech space, tell me what I can do to improve the article, maybe I can fix it. About the 'Tech speaker' thing, she is an expert in that field and gets invitations to speak at Tech events, I could add links/reference to events she spoke at if that helps. Cheers.Felixdgreat

Keep The article seem to be about someone notable enough, considering the number of highly placed local and international organisations that have recognised her works. Maybe a few more citations needed but it definitely does not deserve to be deleted. I've seen far less notable people in her field have their pages listed. We should find a way to improve this article, as opposed to deleting it entirely.Felixdgreat (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 14:19, 7 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

~~Weak Keep~~. Refined NG and Urban Woman Mag combined with the minor coverage Oduwole has received for being on the Forbes 30Under30 list just pass GNG in my opinion. (note: The Forbes list itself doesn't contribute to GNG as being mentioned in a list is generally considered trivial coverage, but her being listed in the list has garnered some coverage that is non-trivial although not entirely significant.)

@Celestina007. Not futile at all and honestly not even an argument because I think we're both being quite polite and respectful. You are very much correct about the other sources mentioned and, by making me look at RefinedNG in a more in-depth light, I have come to the conclusion that I'm not certain enough of its reliability to use it as the second of two sources required for the minimum GNG multiple sources. A pleasure to discuss with you! Thank you for your informed policy-based clarifications. I wish all AfDs could be discussions instead of being based on pride.
