 * Delete — Basically echoing what “said” I can’t seem to find any evidence of true notability, fails WP:NPOL & WP:GNG. Celestina007 (talk) 18:16, 24 May 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:VANITY/PROMO, fails NPOL as mere candidature is insufficient, and per, who will perhaps be able to tell us if there is anything suspicious about the artice creator and thie keep !vote. ——  Serial # 14:35, 25 May 2020 (UTC)
 * @, definitely a suspicious account as the editor (having observed their history) seems to be a single purpose account fully devoted to the Vivour Nigerian family. An undisclosed WP:COI is definitely plausible. Celestina007 (talk) 17:47, 25 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete unelected candidates for public office are not notable. We used to mainly have this problem with articles on people from the US, Canada and the United Kingdom. We are now also seeing it with articles related to Nigeria and India. If we are not careful the English-language Wikipedia will be inordinately limited to covering people who were fluent in English. English is the language of the contents, it should not determine what the contents are.John Pack Lambert (talk) 13:21, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete. As always, people do not get Wikipedia articles just for standing as candidates in elections they did not win — the notability test for politicians is holding a notable office, not just running for one. But this article is not demonstrating that he has preexisting notability for other reasons, or that his candidacy was markedly more special than the norm for any compelling reason.

 * Delete per and WP:POLITICIAN and WP:BLP1E. Majority of the article's sources contain quotes from the subject and are not independent of him.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 14:26, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
