The result was   delete. Although there is an assertion of sources the link propvided is to a google search that mostly appeared to be about other people with the same name. Therefore this is unsourced and non-notable Spartaz Humbug! 05:09, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Dare Obasanjo
AfDs for this article: 
 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Product manager at Micorsoft. Article has previously survived AfD but does not appear to establish WP:N. The article was recently Prodded, but I beleive it deserves an AfD discussion. Artw (talk) 04:09, 6 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Weak delete. He seems to be a popular blogger, his XML book is in many libraries, and I can find plenty of trivial mentions of him in Google news, but there doesn't seem to be any nontrivial reliable sourcing beyond his very bare-bones author biography, already linked. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:34, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Nominator hasn't done a good faith search to see if refs could possibly exist riffic (talk) 12:50, 17 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete A search in Proquest's ABI/Inform database for his name brings up 11 articles. Fast Company, Nov. 2008 mentions skeptical comments about early adopters on his blog; indeed, most of the hits are single mentions of either his blog, or comments he's made on tech. related websites.  Wall Street Journal, Nov 28, 2008 mentions that Microsoft hired him in 2002, and nailed a contract through One Laptop Per Child in 2005 with his father, who was then president of Nigeria.  Business Wire, Aug. 24, 2005 has one quote from him about NewsGator, which he apparently developed (tough to tell from the quote whether he developed NewsGator or RSS Bandit).  Business Wire Nov. 10, 2004 says he gave a presentation at XML 2004.  Ebsco's Business Source Elite has 6 articles mentioning him; 4 are duplicates of ABI/Inform's results, the other 2 are similar in content.  All the articles, in my opinion, boil down to him being basically some guy who works there. Some jerk on the Internet (talk) 13:55, 18 August 2009 (UTC)
