Grace Akinlemibola

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Unsalvageable apparent autobiography filled with outlandish claims and references to the subject's own website and legal filings. No reliable sources cited; not a suitable article for the encyclopedia. NorthBySouthBaranof (talk) 06:33, 29 March 2017 (UTC)


 * STRONGLY OPPOSE DELETION This is sad. It seems that the argument is that if a person does not like the content of an article, that person can delete the article. The lawsuits are also still pending. I think that is also part of the point of the article. How are these claims "outlandish" simply because they revolve around the Mayor of Chicago or Chicago Public Schools? Also, if you follow along with the lawsuits, you will find that there has not been anyone who has justified themselves in the Mayor's Office, even with specific claims. So I will assume you are calling these claims "outlandish" simply because the judges threw out some of them immediately. That's a snobby attitude, even when there is direct evidence for the judges not being truthful. It was clear as day and outlined as much. --TheWikiKing7 (talk) 06:58, 29 March 2017 (UTC)TheWikiKing7
 * The "outlandish" claim I refer to is the "her business is worth $1 billion" — one would expect a business worth $1 billion to have some reliable sources discussing it, and there aren't any. We aren't here to relitigate lawsuits and judges — the fact is, there are basically no reliable sources here, and if an article isn't supported by reliable sources, it can't be part of the encyclopedia.

 * NorthBySouthBaranof, how much her business is worth is not a point at issue in any of the cases. So if that is your "outlandish claim," then perhaps you see how things turn out. Sadly, I feel that you are more fixated on her net worth than the actual lawsuits and (sadly), I think your fixation and disbelief has more to do with her race/gender demographic than anything else. --TheWikiKing7 (talk) 07:32, 29 March 2017 (UTC)TheWikiKing7
 * Er, no, and I would request that you apologize for and retract your laughably false accusation of racism/gender bias. If you knew the first thing about me, or even took a look at my editing history on pages related to race and gender issues, you'd not be making that statement. You're angry and frustrated, I understand that, and I know our policies can be confusing to new users — but lashing out with nonsensical personal attacks targeting the person on the other end of the keyboard who is trying to explain those policies is not a path that you want to go down.

 * Delete No news coverage of her - which should be there if she were notable. If he court case is notable - then it should enter Wikipedia only after it is covered by reliable sources. Coverage of "Grace Akinlemibola" is limited to - which is limited to a single tweet (in a bunch) from her account.Icewhiz (talk) 07:42, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Not finding any news articles about her or her lawsuits, which means that these lawsuits are not notable by WP standards. Maybe they will be some day, but this this person does not come close to meeting the requirements at WP:GNG. First Light (talk) 07:52, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete ASAP I cannot find any reliable sources that supports the claim that she is notable. Fails WP:GNG. Not to mention how incredibly rude the author of the article is. ThatGirlTayler (talk) 13:58, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails the GNG. Lack of RS. L3X1 (distant write)  14:22, 29 March 2017 (UTC)
