Comment: To establish notability, we ideally should have at least two or preferably three independent, reliable secondary sources discussing the subject in depth. Looking at the sources:* [1] mostly discusses Genesis Energy, only briefly mentioning Omoboriowo for his comments on the company* [2] appears to be an independent secondary source, although it is rather short* [3] is a speech from the subject and thus not a secondary source* [4] is published by his university, not independent and likely not secondary* [5] is an interview, again, not good* [6] is a portrait from an organization he is a member of, not independent* [7] appears to report the same information as [2], and very likely isn't independent of it* [8] only gives two quotes from Omoboriowo, far from in-depth or secondary* [9] is mostly an interview with little secondary discussion* [10] is, again, a portrait from a conference he was a speaker at Chaotıċ Enby (talk · contribs) 22:21, 10 March 2024 (UTC)
