Ebube Chukwurah

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Complete lack of verifiability that anything in this article is related (or relevant) to Ebube Chukwurah or that Ebube Chukwurah even exists. This was originally pointed out on May 25th, 2010, at which point the name got exactly 7 Google results; Wikipedia mirrors and social media have raised this to 437 results since then, but none of them are reliable sources. It also fails notability guidelines. It should also be pointed out that practically all information on the subject was added by a single user, Bargainocean, whose sole contribution to Wikipedia is creating and editing that article. There are four sources given in the article: We are lacking sources on the following issues: Unless these statements are sourced (especially the ones regarding his actual existence), we have no information on Ebube whatsoever, in which case I feel this article should be deleted.

 * Jan U. Pinborough and Barbara J. Clarke, The Miracle of Change, Lihona, June 1996, which I found at . I'm not sure what part of the section relies on this source (couldn't find any relevant connections), but either way, this one fails WP:NOTRELIABLE for being an article from a church newspaper about how religion changed Florence Chukwurah (supposedly Ebube's mother)'s life. Even if it were reliable, all it does is prove Florence exists. Worse than that, the end of the article states Florence has two sons, Emeka and Uchenna. As the article was written well after 1985 (according to the article the year Ebube was born), this would imply this Florence is not the mother of Ebube (bar special circumstances like adoption, which aren't mentioned anywhere). This article therefore seems completely unrelated to Ebube Chukwurah.
 * Kevin Clawson, Reach the Children, http://www.reachthechildren.org/about/board_of_directors2.cfm?pagetitle=Board%20of%20Directors. This one helpfully gives a link, but all it does is confirm that Christopher N. Chukwurah, supposedly Ebube's father, exists. There is no source confirming this Christopher is actually Ebube's father or in any other way related to this article.
 * Deseret News, Quorum of the Seventy, April 6, 1997. Found it at . Confirms that a man named Christopher N. Chukwurah is a 'former member of the Quorum of the Seventy of the LDS Church'. Relation to the Christopher from the previous source is unknown, but let's give it the benefit of the doubt. Still does not say anything about Ebube.
 * Idaho State University, March 3, 2010. I was unable to find this source. It apparently confirms that Ebube attended Idaho State University at one point, which could finally confirm at least that this man named 'Ebube Chukwurah' exists. Regardless, even if it contained a detailed 100-page description of his time at Idaho university, it doesn't prove more in this article than the half sentence stating he's attended the Idaho State University.
 * Whether or not Ebube actually exists (unless the fourth source is found).
 * Ebube's birth date.
 * Ebube being an American.
 * Ebube originally being from Nigeria.
 * Ebube being a businessman or entrepreneur.
 * Ebube being the son of Florence and Christopher Chukwurah.
 * Bargain Ocean Marketing Inc existing.
 * Bargain Ocean Marketing Inc being a company that 'has a worldwide business reach and provides logistics and consulting services to a worldwide clientele utilizing the Vehicle of the internet to minimize overhead associated with its competitors'.
 * Ebube being CEO of this company.
 * Ebube attending Brigham Young University in Utah.
 * Ebube pursuing a degree in Economics.
 * Ebube owning several other businesses.
 * Ebube being involved in numerous entrepreneurial ventures.
 * Ebube having made numerous contributions to businesses around the globe.
 * Ebube having exceptional talent in business.
 * The man in the photograph being Ebube.

 * Delete - there seems almost no evidence of notability here. Worse, User:Bargainocean looks very likely to be both in COI on this article (for instance, LinkedIn says Chukwurah is Chairman at Bargain Ocean Marketing), and falls foul of the rule that WP usernames may not be corporate group names. Looks like pure business self-promotion. Chiswick Chap (talk) 19:19, 27 December 2011 (UTC)
