Glendora Review

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I couldn't establish WP:NOTABILITY. Has been proposed for speedy and prod deletion (added by and ) and removed by creator. Has been tagged for notability for 7 years; hopefully, we can now resolve it. Boleyn (talk) 18:03, 15 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment, this is a difficult one, but lean towards Keep (saying in trepidation awaiting the onslaught from deletionists). The reference cited in the articlealthough highlighting the importance of Glendora, is no more than a passing mention being a review of another book - No Condition is Permanent: Nigeria Writing and the Struggle for Democracy.  Other pages found in a search include  chimurenga library description, on which the article appears to be based, a description of Glendora by Damola Awoyokun, a founder of it(?) and another description by Kunle Tejuoso also closely associated with it.  Did find a review by Sulaiman Adebowale for/of the Bellagio Publishing Network which might be usable?  Nevertheless, it is cited as references in a number of academic articles ie. African Popular Music (a historical review of sub-Saharan Africa) by Professor John Collins (March 2002); Group Theory, L-systems, and African Rhythmic Structure by John Belcher of Boston University, and James A. Murrell of Suffolk University ; Afrobeat! by Sola Olorunyomi ; African literature survival outside the realm of large world publishers: illusion or reality? by Katalin Egri Ku-Mesu of the University of Edinburgh.  Academics have contributed to it ie. Chika Okeke-Agulu, Associate Professor of Princeton University; Jonathan Haynes, Professor of English of Long Island University, Brooklyn so may meet WP:TBK?

 * Comment I'm leaning towards keep but I wonder if its creator Olakunle Tejuoso might be more notable; we should certainly consider moving this article as the basis for an article on Olakunle Tejuoso even if it's not quite notable. --Colapeninsula (talk) 16:46, 30 April 2015 (UTC)
