 * Keep The 2017 Afd was evidently correct to Delete the article at the time. Since then, however, both career and number of sources have substantially risen. Subject passes WP:GNG. -The Gnome (talk) 19:40, 14 July 2022 (UTC)

 * But almost the entire article is about what he did up to 2017. The two sentences about what happened since 2017 are ”He was appointed as a permanent member of the Lagos State Universal Basic Education Board, board in 2019 by the Lagos state governor and in March 2022 was elected as the APC national youth leader through a consensus selection”. That’s all. Those two sentences are sourced but neither are about appointments that would make him notable. Mccapra (talk) 04:16, 15 July 2022 (UTC)
 * The subject wasn’t appointed as APC National youth leader but elected as he had other competitive contestants but they were forced to concede. Kaizenify (talk) 09:02, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 * Members of things vote for leaders all the time but that doesn’t make any of them notable. That is run-of-the-mill activity in any party or political organisation. Mccapra (talk) 20:22, 23 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete The 2017 AfD discussed the sourcing of the article and found it to be insufficient. Let's look back at that discussion:


 * Ref 1. The Ynaija interview only quotes Mr. Israel and does not add any independent research. As such it is effectively a self-published source and not verifiable.
 * Ref 2. Similarly, the Punch interview also goes no further than quoting Mr. Israel.
 * Ref 3. The Youth Hub Africa blog feature does mention his history of starting a children's rights organization (GAAVOHCR - possibly notable) at age 11 and being sponsored as a delegate to attend two UN conferences. Attendance alone however, is not notable enough to warrant an encyclopedia.
 * Ref 4. The Vivacity PR (Public Relations) blog page states Mr. Israel was the GLEEHD Foundation's Nigeria Director, and headed the Nigerian delegation on a visit to London, but a blog is not a WP:RS and going to meetings (even at Buckingham Palace) does not infer any inherent notabilty. 
 * Ref 5. The Handle It Africa page is a self-published (or written) publicity site, not RS.
 * Ref 6. Is the text of a speech he gave to STM. SPS, not RS.
 * Ref 7. Only states that he was "active" in civil society activities - nothing notable.
 * Ref 8. The London Metropolitan University alumni profile is RS and supports his educational achievements (LLB, MA). It also mentions Dayo's own television show (possibly notable).
 * Ref 9. Is his own website, not RS.
 * Ref 10. Naij.com probably RS, but participating in a youth parliament and leading a visit by children to the UN does not make him notable.
 * Ref 11. Konnect Africa re-hashes the other websites.
 * Ref 12. Daily Media reads like a CV, not independent journalism.
 * Ref 13. Another Punch interview, essentially SPS.
 * Ref 14-18. It is not notable to have declared an intent to run for office and then fail to be nominated by the party for the ticket.


 * That was User:Loopy30 five years ago. And what sources do we have now? Ynaija, Punch, KonnectAfrica, London Metropolitan University. It's groundhog day! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 11:36, 15 July 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete Due to source analysis by Alexandermcnabb. MrsSnoozyTurtle 09:10, 1 August 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - The subject meet WP:NPOL as he is “local political figure who have received significant coverage considering his emergence as the All Progressive Congress (the ruling party in Nigeria) National youth leader which he happens to be the youngest and the first from South west Nigeria meets them. Also passes WP:GNG; with multiple independent, reliable sources discussing him. Kaizenify (talk) 08:52, 20 July 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete NPOL is clear and Mccapra is correct that the person does not meet the guideline. Lightburst (talk) 02:16, 6 August 2022 (UTC)
