non-notable doctor. Fails the guidelines on MEDIC, GNG, and any other one you want to follow. Claim to fame is that an obscure competition selected him to fly to space in 2015, there is no evidence that he actually went to space, nor is there any RS that shows that this competition is notable enough to confer notability on its winners. Page has been recreated multiple times, deleted each time.

 * Delete - I agree, why do people make an article on any doctor they see? There's just no point. JTZegers (talk) 13:42, 13 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete. The subject lacks in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. Being a non-notable medical doctor who might be traveling to space isn't a valid ground for keep.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 18:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: Subject of the article clearly meet WP:BASIC. He had been significantly discussed in multiple independent reliable sources, enough to meet our inclusion criteria. Ptinphusmia (talk) 19:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Speedy Keep: The subject clearly meet WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and #1 of WP:ANYBIO as recipient of Sierra Leone Presidential Meritorious Service Award of honor. Contrary to the claim by the nominator that the subject " Fails the guidelines on MEDIC", WP:MEDIC is not a notability guideline but a disclaimer that "Wikipedia does not give medical advice. This looks like an abusive nomination in violation of WP:BEFORE. The subject of the article has been significantly covered by multiple independent reliable secondary sources. The Wired UK, The Guardian, Bussinessday, Vanguard Newspaper, Quartz Africa, ATQ News to mention a few. The subject is also the founder of Nigeria’s first and biggest independent real estate network marketing firm and has been named a One Young World Ambassador. The "space travel" is a tiny part of his biography and almost insignificant to the subject's notability. Kaizenify (talk) 13:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep Subject meets WP:BASIC Mahveotm (talk) 17:21, 17 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Clear keep per all the comments above, Sadads (talk) 22:06, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete — Per, & . Subject of article doesn’t satisfy GNG notability criteria for inclusion at best this is bare notability & nothing more.Celestina007 (talk) 04:33, 20 May 2020 (UTC)

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sulfurboy (talk) 22:56, 20 May 2020 (UTC) :@User:Harmanprtjhj This forum post is not something you want to being up in an AFD discussion. It shows that you have not read the GNG policy or have not understood it. Forum posts are not reliable sources. The rest of your sources are equally bad. The french source just says that he will not go to space, and Bella says that he might. NOTNEWS.

Juliette Han (talk) 14:04, 5 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep: This article meets WP:BASIC even if he doesn't meet the criteria for doctor. He is a recipient of a national award from the President of Sierra Leone as well as a recipient of 2014 TIME magazine award. Isn't that enough? He has been discussed to a significant extent in multiple independent enough to meet our inclusion criteria. SuperSwift (talk) 15:15, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete,Does not meet WP:GNG. Alex-h (talk) 08:49, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep I am seeing significant coverage by Qz.com, Nigerian Bulletin, Bellanajja and more. I note that there must be coverage in French sources too, but since I don't speak French I can't find many of them but the subject easily meets WP:GNG. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 13:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * I provided the entire version of the report originally published by Daily Trust which is a WP:RS and is pretty popular. The above link for Nigerian Bulletin is just an entire version of that report. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 15:21, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete unless sourcing is clearly improved. The first reference, for example, quotes him as the founder of the organization, rather than being detailed coverage about it. The 3rd reference, for the Meritorious Service award, is a link to a templated interview of him, rather than independent reporting. SarekOfVulcan (talk)  23:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep per User:Kaizenify the article surely meet the requirements. An@ss_koko(speak up)  08:44, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete frankly, half the sourcing doesn't actually say what the article wants it to say. ——  Serial # 11:48, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Keep - fishy nom by sock. As far as my research has gotten my this one is within WP:GNG.BabbaQ (talk) 18:08, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Yes, just struck and removed unreplied comments made by the sock. Harmanprtjhj (talk) 06:43, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
