Folasade Omotoyinbo

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

A "social media entrepreneur" article whose sources are mostly paid. The sources about the subject are promotional pieces. Does not meet WP:IS. Nswix (talk) 00:21, 15 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete Most of the awards sound fishy, the City People awards has an article, but it also seems suspect. I'm not seeing notability. Oaktree b (talk) 01:04, 15 June 2023 (UTC)
 * DeletePer nominator . DarkHorseMayhem (talk) 22:30, 16 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep . Non-trivial coverage in the Nigerian press. See Newspapers published in Nigeria. I don't know about City People but The Nation, Vanguard and This Day are major national newspapers I read when in Nigeria. -- A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:45, 17 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Neutral leaning to delete based on this comment by User:JoelleJay at Articles for deletion/Omogboye Saheed Ayodeji. It cites a journalism expert discussing rampant Nigerian journalism corruption. (That said, the Nigerian reporting style during my brief time there was florid even when reporting stuff like the weather.) -- A. B. (talk • contribs • global count) 18:53, 20 June 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete. I sampled 10 of the sources and all of them were non-independent Q&A interviews, non-independent coverage of announcements from her ("Omotoyinbo said...", "according to Omotoyinbo", etc.), clearly promotional non-independent pieces (especially from orgs she is affiliated with, like City People), or NCORP-failing coverage of her business. Does not meet GNG. JoelleJay (talk) 01:28, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Nigerian papers use a different writing style to the Western style you are probably familiar with. The tone may seem promotional, but it would be way more blatant if it actually was. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 05:13, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Also, note that several participants were actively canvassed to this and similar deletion discussions. Mako001 (C) (T)  🇺🇦 05:14, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I don't see what that has to do with me? I wasn't canvassed. JoelleJay (talk) 18:15, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Regardless of the reasons for a promotional style, the current refs still lack independent SIGCOV of her as they are almost all just repeating things she said. JoelleJay (talk) 18:14, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
 * I got canvassed to some Nigerian politicians page, and didnt vote, cause I dont know enough about politics. Nswix (talk) 19:06, 18 June 2023 (UTC)
