All the sources for this article that I'm able to check appear to be either websites associated with the subject of the article or sources that don't mention the subject of the article at all. I haven't been able to check the newspaper sources provided, but I have been unsuccessful in locating other reliable sources that establish the notability of this person. This article in its current state clearly does not hold up to WP:BLP standards of sourcing, and I see no evidence that this article can be improved significantly, or that its subject is even notable. On a tangential note, the user who created this article added mentions of this person on several other pages, e.g. Ghana Empire, that seem to fail verification. For example, I have been unable to find any reference to a work by Adelabu titled The Ghana World: A Pride for the Continent that predates its addition to the Ghana Empire page in 2012; all mentions of it seem to be copying Wikipedia.

 * Comment — I think it only needs to be cleaned up. Deleting is not cleaning up. Reading Beans Talk to the Beans? 16:59, 2 May 2022 (UTC)
 * I'm perfectly open to it being cleaned up instead of deleted, but to do that, we'd need reliable sources. What reliable sources are available to us here? Ornithopsis (talk) 00:08, 3 May 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment: Is Sunni Islam a school of philosophy? Why is it listed as such in the article. If this article does not get deleted, please someone knowledgeable in this area should change the infobox parameter to something more appropriate, like ideology or something.HandsomeBoy (talk) 04:57, 3 May 2022 (UTC)

 * Comment Hmm, content aside this is some pretty fishy citation. The "Aljazeera" citation links to "WorldDefenseReview", and half the cites are to alleged newspaper mentions, but without either links or page numbers - it is hardly set up for ready verification. Leaning  weak delete due to notability not being clearly established in coverage by reliable, secondary sources. A news search only turns up two trivial mentions. I was just beaten to this by the closer ... not sure if this close is correct. Surely an OP vote to delete with two neutral comments is still a lean toward delete?
