No reliable sources. All the sources are from blogs or campaign websites. Appears to have been created from a sockpuppet account and worked on by other accounts. Meanderingbartender (talk) 02:29, 24 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete doesn't pass WP:NPOLITICIAN as he hasn't been elected yet and does not appear to pass WP:GNG. SportingFlyer  talk  05:00, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. As of right now, he is merely "among the governorship aspirants" in an election that's still more than a year away — which means he isn't even his party's candidate yet, but merely a candidate in the "primary" process. That is not grounds for a Wikipedia article in and of itself — and even if he does get selected as his party's candidate, he'd still have to win the general election, not just run in it, before he was deemed to pass WP:NPOL. But nothing else here constitutes evidence that he has preexisting notability for other reasons, and the article is written more like an advertorialized campaign brochure than a neutral encyclopedia article.

 * Delete - Not enough in-depth coverage to pass WP:GNG, and doesn't meet the criteria for WP:NPOL.  Onel 5969  TT me 18:46, 24 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Leave the article- Because not all the source reference are campaign materials and he was chosen as the sole candidate of his party towards 2019 governorship with endorsement and awards from his states and Nigeria


 * Don’t Delete- See reference https://innonews.com.ng/2018/02/imo-guber-2019-33-governorship-aspirants-emerge/ The major bone of contentions is he wordy to be on Wikipedia, the answer is yes because he is the chosen candidate of a major political party in Nigeria and he has notable award from his state and Nigeria which can stand as reference on Wikipedia but the reference needs to be worked on by another experience editor. If I can see this major reference not used by the creator of the article l think they are more that was neglected that ought to be used.Mickysandly (talk) 12:08, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
 * A person has to win the election to be considered notable as a politician, not simply be a candidate, and you haven't shown any evidence that the "Excellence in Leadership Award" is a notable award for the purposes of making a person notable because they won an award. That criterion does not attach to every award that exists, but only to a certain rarefied class of top-level awards which you haven't shown that the "Excellence in Leadership Award" is part of.

 * Please see http://sunnewsonline.com/imo-gives-merit-awards-to-ekwueme-ghanaian-president/ The award is pass into law and is the highest recongnise award in the state and Nigeria. Like i earlier highlighted, the article needs an experience editor to help in reconstructing the references used by the creator of the article. The above reference wasn't even usedMickysandly (talk) 11:36, 26 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The fact that an award is "pass into law" does not automatically make it a notable award for the purposes of making a person notable because they won it — government awards can still fall below the notability bar, and non-government awards can surpass it. And that source isn't about Collins Osuagwu at all — it supports that the award exists, but is about it being presented to somebody else, so there's absolutely nothing in this article that this source can be used for.

The above reference/source meet your request of his name mentioned and the award been giving to him.Mickysandly (talk) 11:27, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That's a dead link of an individual person's website, not WP:RS media coverage. Bearcat (talk) 18:32, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Blogs don't count as reliable or notability-supporting sources either. Bearcat (talk) 17:35, 31 March 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete being a candidate for office is rarely enough to show notability and is not in this case.John Pack Lambert (talk) 02:09, 31 March 2018 (UTC)

Him been a political candidate is not what is been considered here but the award he won. Mendyli (talk) 07:52, 31 March 2018 (UTC)
 * The award he won is not notable enough to make him permanently includable just for having won it, if you have to depend on blogs and individual people's own self-published websites to support it. We need real reliable source media coverage about that distinction before it counts as a notability claim, and we need several pieces of that, not just one.
