While accomplished there is not enough in-depth coverage for them to meet WP:GNG, and with an h-Index of 10 and based on the positions listed in the article, does not meet WP:NSCHOLAR.  Onel 5969  TT me 11:10, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

 * Hello, I apologize for my untimely response to this discussion. In regards to your issue with the article concerning the general notability guideline I think this article actually meets the standard. The sources provided are independent and are from publications which are known for fact checking. The only issue that it might pose for notability may be in the issue of the subject having significant coverage. Individually the sources on their own do not give in-depth coverage of the subject however, Wikipedia biography (WP:BIO) says that multiple independent sources can be put together to demonstrate notability, which I feel was demonstrated in the article.

 * Comment May have a chance with PROF, what's her citation factor look like? Oaktree b (talk) 15:08, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * He has a couple over 100 (one over 200), but they are both co-authored. Hish-Index, as I said in the nom is only 10.  Onel 5969  TT me 22:16, 14 April 2023 (UTC)
 * She? Subject appears to be male. —David Eppstein (talk) 01:43, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Thanks for pointing that out. Fixed now.  Onel 5969  TT me 10:40, 15 April 2023 (UTC)
 * My thought is that if someone had a comparable government position in a more developed country, would their notability be questioned? And I don't know the answer to that in this case. BhamBoi (talk) 00:36, 15 April 2023 (UTC)

Relisting comment: There doesn't appear to be an actionable consensus at this point, hopefully more input from editors will address that. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Aoidh (talk) 05:36, 22 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Leaning Delete: BLP, Fails GNG and BIO, NPOL or NACADEMIC. Sources are:

 * Half the article is unsourced BLP violations, no sources in article or BEFORE showed independent RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth. BEFORE showed ROUTINE news articles about the appointment.
 * WP:BLP states "Be very firm about the use of high-quality sources"'; BLPs need IS RS with SIGCOV addressing the subject directly and indepth for both content and notability per well known core policy (WP:V and WP:BLP) and guidelines (WP:BIO and WP:IS, WP:RS, WP:SIGCOV).
 * I think the GhanaWeb can be viewed as IS RS with SIGCOV. If someone adds additional INDEPENDENT RS to the article let me know.
 * If someone finds that the bio section of the GhanaWeb is a reprint of government sources, let me know, this would firm up my !v to Delete.  // Timothy :: talk  05:31, 18 April 2023 (UTC)
