Akindotun Merino

Fails WP:BIO. Cannot find anything in references or online search that verifies the major claims in this article. Cannot find proof that she has a doctorate or was a dean, vice president, director, department chair. Have checked San Bernadino Valley College, Ashford College (a for-profit bought by Univ of Arizona - no listing there). Could not find mention of her in JSTOR or Google Scholar or of any academic works she has created. Her JARS Group is a Southern California consulting firm that Googles notes as permanently closed. This article is all smoke and mirrors. Please, I welcome feedback from others who find something substantial that I missed.

 * Surely the article should state that the sources show that she had an academic position at Argosy University? It's almost as if someone was trying to cover up that fact. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:55, 5 November 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete: Article is sourced to primary sources and stuff she wrote. Subject does not meet WP:NPROF or WP:GNG.  Princess of Ara  08:25, 7 November 2021 (UTC)
