Does not appear to meet WP:NOTE Tentontunic (talk) 00:43, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep per WP:POLITICIAN, which states that "politicians and judges who have held international, national or sub-national (statewide/provincewide) office..." are notable. As this article is about a state governor who did not appear to have been able to exercise the powers of his office, the "this will also apply to those who have been elected but not yet sworn into such offices" point applies in this case. Although this would be considered an 'argument to avoid', I'm sure, deleting this would be like deleting an article on a state governor of the United States, as Uba is of the same political standing.

 * In addition to this, this politician appears to meet the general notability guideline, as he has received significant coverage in multiple reliable sources - (OK, this one might be less than 100% reliable, but it establishes notability...),  - however, I think WP:POLITICIAN is sufficient to establish notability here without having to default to the GNG.

 * Blank This article probably intends to describe Nnamdi Emmanuel Uba and should therefore be renamed. The article is now largely unsourced, though some Nigerian news sources seem to exist. As most of the article's content is unsourced and BLP-sensitive, the article should be (almost completely) blanked, and only text based on reliable sources should then be added.

 * Keep This one's automatic. For the nominator's benefit, there's a lot more to notability than just what's in WP:NOTE, and WP:POLITICIAN is one of the many things that fall under the "subject specific guidelines" under "people".   Plenty of sources out there .  Mandsford 21:57, 10 February 2011 (UTC)
