The result was delete. The two "keep" opinions assert notability, but do not engage with the "delete" side's source analysis, or indicate which sources exactly confer notability on the subject.  Sandstein  11:39, 2 August 2022 (UTC)

Adenekan Mayowa

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

BLP of a pr practitioner who, unsurprisingly, manages to get plenty of coverage for himself. He won the Ogun State “blogger of the year” award five years in a row. Not notable. Mccapra (talk) 20:13, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: News media, Internet,  and Nigeria. Mccapra (talk) 20:13, 10 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is it concern of Wikipedia that how and at what position any subject got themselves into press? All that we should worry about is to see whether they have "significant coverage in reliable and independent sources" or not. Insight 3 (talk) 04:56, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment We need to verify the mentions are actually both indepdent and in reliable sources, and substantial. Just because someones name appears in the press a lot does not mean we need an article for them. We also have some not provisions. I am not sure about this case, but I am just pointing out that lots of sources does not in all cases force an article.John Pack Lambert (talk) 15:39, 11 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Not that his name just appears in the press, the cited sources are directly and mainly about him, granting a significant coverage in his favor. Insight 3 (talk) 15:53, 11 July 2022 (UTC)

 * keep The subject of this article is notable. Do an unbiased independent Google search on the phrase Mayowa Adenekan. Aso2018 (talk) 08:04, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * They’re pr placed pieces, interviews or cut and pastes of his own press releases. They are not independent and in depth coverage. Yes we absolutely care how people get themselves into the press. If they pay for coverage or use their positions to get adulatory pieces from client journalists, those are useless for demonstrating notability p. “He’s in the papers a lot” doesn’t equate to notability. Mccapra (talk) 08:15, 14 July 2022 (UTC)
 * "They’re pr placed pieces, interviews or cut and pastes of his own press releases" ... Can this be demonstrated or we just assume things? Insight 3 (talk) 04:02, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Well for example, refs 5 and 6 are identical, meaning two journalists just cut and pasted the same press release from the subject’s office. Not independent coverage at all. Likewise refs 8 and 9 are identical cut and paste jobs from his own pr. You can’t base a Wikipedia article on this kind of rubbish. Mccapra (talk) 20:56, 17 July 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete Plenty of sources, but the evidence points to paid promotion rather than genuine independent coverage.-KH-1 (talk) 05:58, 18 July 2022 (UTC)
 * What I see from the last two input is that promotional content and links should be removed from the article. Mccapra and KH-1, I guess you know the article can be improved instead of outright delete? Aso2018 (talk) 15:56, 19 July 2022 (UTC)
 * How can it be improved? Where is the in depth coverage in independent sources? Mccapra (talk) 15:17, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Article has been reduced to a stub and open for expansion. Aso2018 (talk) 09:45, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * it’s not a stub at all. It barely changed and - Where is the in depth coverage in independent sources? Mccapra (talk) 10:38, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 * We encourage you to use reliable, neutral and reliable third-party sources to expand the article. I've tried to find mentions of him in the New York Times for example, and found none. Oaktree b (talk) 04:16, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: Giving this discussion one more round to analyze on the sources in the article. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ASTIG️🙃  (ICE-T • ICE CUBE) 22:15, 25 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep I see some secondary and independent sources. Keep the article, and add an appropriate maintenance tag. Ajalaja (talk) 13:09, 22 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete A whole of three pages in Google, most are press releases. He works in PR and this is very much a PR exercise in self-promotion. Oaktree b (talk) 01:02, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Thank you for your contribution but this discussion was relisted to analyze on the sources in the article.: We are not analyzing Google result. The article right now has a very few sources and it is a stub.Ajalaja (talk) 02:39, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * At AfD we discuss all the sources anyone can find, not just those already in the article. Mccapra (talk) 02:55, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The sources in the article appear to be the same quality. Again, not notable. Oaktree b (talk) 04:15, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

Do we have Nigerian Wikipedia Admins? Does Wikipedia have a diversity and inclusion policy? It looks like the editors commenting and voting does not understand the situation in Nigeria and Africa? Can we get a Nigerian or African admin to vote/comment on this article?
