Celestine "Chuks" Chukwu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Article has no reliable independent sources to establish notability (and a possible COI problem). Google searches for the author's name, the "ground-breaking" bestseller A Dictionary of Nigerian Pidgin and Slang and the award-winning poem Tree of Life in connection with the author all come up empty or show only self-published activity and 1-2 passing mentions.

Speedy Delete - Non-notable, no any reliable source available to find notability. Fails WP:BIO and WP:GNG. Article seems to exist only to promote person. All sources point to self published web blogs like this one. --A.Minkowiski_Lets t@lk 14:35, 28 May 2015 (UTC)

Delete As I wrote when I PRODded the article, "I find no evidence of notability, including any references in independent sources to the one claim of significance, about having written the first Nigerian colloquialism dictionary. That doesn't mean it isn't true, but it isn't clear that any note of him as its author has been achieved." The article has been expanded since, but with no new sources identified beyond Chukwu's blog (and I believe, based on the user's name, that Chukwu is this article's creator, which makes this article original research, a primary source). As for the listing of Chukwu's "other notable works", I ran Google searches on several of them and found no mention of them outside of Chukwu's own web outlets. —Largo Plazo (talk) 15:04, 28 May 2015 (UTC)
