Adesayo Oyedijo

Subject of the article fails WP:ACADEMICS. Being a Dean of a faculty is not enough to meet WP:ACADEMIC threshold. Sources provided are not about him and majority of the sources are unreliable. He's only doing his job and nothing more. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 23:28, 27 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Delete per nominator, and also because this reads like a resume, and I cannot find any coverage besides one passing mention in connection with somebody else's death. Vanamonde93 (talk) 23:38, 27 February 2016 (UTC)

*Keep Wikic¤l¤gy Dear Olatunde, after reading through your comments suggesting that the article on Adesayo Oyedijo should be deleted, I must say I was very surprised at your level of judgement and your ability to actually criticize or make expert opinions. You stated that Ade Oyedijo was just doing his job and that being a Dean of a faculty is not enough to meet the WP:ACADEMIC threshold. I totally disagree with your thinking here which I think is very poor. A Dean of a faculty at a University is a very high position. To become a Dean of a faculty, you must be a reputable, respectable and excellent academic. Infact, being a Faculty Dean at a University is one of the highest positions an academic can ever attain in their career. The Vice Chancellor of a University is also performing is job in my opinion. Politicians and Presidents are also doing their jobs. What makes someone like Adesayo Oyedijo exceptional at his job and worthy of publication is because of his achievements and excellence in the Nigerian Educational System. I am afraid to say your ability to analyze things is quite poor. However, it is disturbing that you could say otherwise. If you read through his profile properly, you will find that he was not just doing his job like you stated, he was exceptional at his job. He achieved so much as a academic from Nigeria and his page is worth seeing by the whole world. When you talk about references/sources to show is Notability, he was in the news such as (Sun, Vanguard). Many academics in Nigeria are not promoted particularly the ones with exceptional profiles such as Adesayo Oyedijo. His profile has been viewed by many people already and viewers are motivated by his achievements as a Nigerian academic. Looking at your personal page, I think you do not deserve to be on Wikipedia also. You have only one source and you being a manager at Wikipedia doesn't make you a notable person. It also doesn't make you worthy to be seen by the world. For your profile to be Wikipedia, It is my opinion that Adesayo Oyedijo deserves to be on Wikipedia more than you. You have not achieved anything spectacular from my evaluation and interpretation of things because your profile is very lame. I will also push for your profile to be removed with everything I have got only if you do what is right by allowing Adesayo Oyedijo's profile stay. Lastly, looking at your past record (requesting deletion of pages), a number of people have complained about your ability to make accurate judgement about pages. You are suppose to be a Nigerian Wikipedia ambassador promoting Nigerian Academics whose are profiles actually worth being seen by the world, but instead you were the very first person to demand for it to be deleted. You call yourself an academic and you act in such a very disturbing manner. I am very perturbed at your inability individuality. I worked on Adesayo Oyedijo's profile for one month, and you came the second day it got published to get rid of it. You should at least give constructive feedback on how to improve the page and not put it forward for deletion. Your nomination is invalid in my opinion, I am afraid. User:Vanamonde93 You keep saying the sources need to be reliable and substantial. I have done exactly that. I see thousands of articles on Wikipedia everyday and yours included that do not have the substantial, vast and reliable sources in my article on Adesayo Oyedijo. This man was a great academic in Nigeria and if you look at his profile closely, you will see that. His death was published in two news papers. How else can you justify that he was not a notable academic and that some of the sources do not meet the reliable criterion? I worked on the article for a whole month. I managed to get it published and 24hours after, you guys come out from no where to say it should be deleted. I quote again that your own articles in terms of the reliability of the sources and sustainability are not any different to mine. Instead of you to advice on how the page can be improved, you went straight ahead to request for it to be deleted. I am very upset at the way you approach my new article that took alot of hard work to create. Alot of people have viewed this article already and were inspired by the content and achievements the subject attained. His profile is very inspiring and is worthy of being on Wikipedia. I strongly oppose the opinion that the article on Adesayo Oyedijo should be deleted and should be kept to promote the face of Nigerian Academics.

 * Delete per nom, does not pass relevant notability criteria -- samtar talk or stalk 21:45, 28 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Rewrite This article needs serious rewriting and paring down but I think being Dean of the Faculty qualifies as The person has held a highest-level elected or appointed academic post at a major academic institution or major academic society (Notability (academics)). Lagos State University has 61,000 students so I assume this makes it rank as a major academic institution for the area. Liz  Read! Talk! 22:47, 28 February 2016 (UTC)

*Keep Mediating the point above, although this article might need paring down and rewriting, I completely agree with David Eppstein that the subject Adesayo Oyedijo has held a post that is recognized in the university and academia as one of the highest posts for an academic to occupy in a career or life time. Lagos State University is also a major academic society in Nigeria with 61,000 students which makes Adesayo Oyedijo qualify for the (Notability (academics)) criteria. I oppose the argument that Adesayo Oyedijo should be deleted, but should be improved and kept on Wikipedia because the subject is worthy to be on Wikipedia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ugejuls09 (talk • contribs) 11:53, February 29, 2016‎ (UTC) — Ugejuls09 (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. *Keep The subject Adesayo Oyedijo meets the (Notability (academics)) due to the high position he occupied at Lagos State University. Also because Lagos State University is a major university with a huge number of students (61,000), the subject occupied such a high post in this kind of academic society. Looking at the previous comments especially from WP:ACADEMICS saying that the subject was just doing his job, I beleive that this is an inappropriate statement. He was doing his job quite alright, but he excelled at it. To become a Dean at a large academic society like Lagos State University is a special achievement in an academic career in Nigeria. This article could be improved and edited to a better state. However, it is not approporate to delete it due to the above reasons. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Jeffjiaofenggeo (talk • contribs) 17:20, 29 February 2016 (UTC) — Jeffjiaofenggeo (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * Huh? Why am I name-checked here? I have not yet expressed an opinion on this AfD. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:43, 29 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete. Negligible citation counts on Google scholar show no evidence of passing WP:PROF. Dean of a faculty is not a high-enough level administrative post to pass #C6 (that's reserved for the head of an entire major university). I don't think any of the society memberships listed rise to the level of #C3 (they are either national-level societies of unclear significance or non-honorary levels of membership). And those are the only things I see in the article that could plausibly be interpreted as a claim of significance. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:18, 29 February 2016 (UTC)
