 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

None of the sources are at all independent. One is a blog, one is a cite from a group he founded, and two are links to dioceses he headed. Nothing is at all close to indepdent. John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:54, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment WP:N clearly states that notability is not based on the state of sourcing in the article. But a quick search finds coverage in ; and there's a whole biography: ; and some discussion (on one or two pages, so arguable) in Also there appears to be a whole university named after him: Godfrey Okoye University.

 * Keep as there is plenty of reliable sources coverage as shown above, so passses WP:GNG RC Bishops are mainly notable Atlantic306 (talk) 14:53, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge. WP:GNG is not clear. Based on Bakazaka’s comment, subject matter is still notable outside it sources, per WP:N since there’s an existing article on the encyclopedia which is a university named after him, I’d suggest he’s added as a section under that.
 * He is notable so easily passes WP:GNG Atlantic306 (talk) 15:27, 11 November 2018 (UTC)


 * Keep -- Bakazaka's research clearly shows his notability. Oppose merging to university.  The fact that the university has his name is actually a further indication of notability.  Furthermore, bishops of major denominations are normally notable per se.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:50, 11 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bakazaka. Stanleytux (talk) 13:49, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per sources found by Bakazaka. Also, Roman Catholic Bishops almost always (if not always) pass WP:GNG, since there is almost always plenty of RS coverage of them, just like in the case here. SJK (talk) 17:03, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BISHOPS. This is the second Catholic bishop from Nigeria that nom has nominated for deletion. -- Willthacheerleader18 (talk) 20:21, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:BISHOPS. StAnselm (talk) 23:00, 12 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. We have always considered that diocesan bishops of major churches are notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 13:36, 14 November 2018 (UTC)
