Josephat Obi Oguejiofor

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject of the article fails WP:GNG and no evidence of passing WP:ACADEMIC. I thought of "prod" but seemed to be unnecessary when I considered WP:BEFORE. He's just a normal academic staff, doing his job Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 13:29, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I had a lot more luck searching for coverage using a first name of "J.O.", "J. Obi" or "Obi". He has been the president of three national (Nigerian) or international organizations related to philosophy or religion, which I believe meets WP:PROF C6. He has also been an editor-in-chief for at least two academic journals, which I think further speaks to notability, though I am not sure if those in themselves would be notable enough to meet C8. I do think C6 covers it though. EricEnfermero (Talk) 23:17, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Can you validate your claims with the organizations database, to prove that he served as president of three national (Nigerian) or international organizations related to philosophy or religion? The journal where he was an editor-in-chief. If you can do that, I will be glad to withdraw and close this discussion (as keep) with speed. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 05:34, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Also, I notice that some of Oguejiofor's books are held in more than 100 libraries. I don't often use this criterion, but I think that's pretty good. EricEnfermero (Talk) 23:44, 11 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't know how you got your figures (100 libraries). You actually made your search with the key word "Oguejior". I found several authors with that name. Meanwhile, there are 368 work contributed in all format by various author with the name "Oguejior", comprising of 254 articles, 17 downloadable articles, 75 books, 58 book-printbook, 26 ebook, 12 thesis/dissertation, 32 downloadable archival material, 4 DVD, 2 computer file and 1 journal magazine. "J Obi Oguejiofor" had 16 papers Oguejiofor J Obi had 5, Obi Oguejiofor Josephat had 2, Oguejiofor J O had 2 and Josephat Obi Oguejiofor had 11. I want to believe that they are all the same as "Josephat Obi Oguejiofor" who is the subject of the article under discussion. Which means that the subject of the article had 36 papers contrary to your claims of. Other author that bears Oguejifor include Solomon Oguejiofor, Edward Oguejiofor, Victor Oguejiofor, Patrick Tagbo Oguejiofor. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 05:34, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
 * I actually used no such keyword as Oguejior; that can easily be seen in the linked search results. Using the subject's actual last name, and of course filtering out people like Edward Oguejiofor who have a different first name, there are multiple works with more than 100 holdings. Examples:
 * Philosophy, democracy, and responsible governance in Africa - search results indicate it is held in 127 libraries
 * The arguments for the immortality of the soul in the first half of the thirteenth century - 129 libraries
 * The philosophical significance of immortality in Thomas Aquinas - 131 libraries
 * I'm not sure what you mean by the organizations' databases, but I added sources to the three presidencies and two editor-in-chief appointments prior to voting keep. I overlooked that no reflist parameter was in the article yet, so I've added that now, making those refs visible. EricEnfermero (Talk) 08:39, 12 March 2015 (UTC)


 * Withdrawn: I withdrawn my nomination to speedy keep, per WP:SK#1. Many thanks to u|EricEnfermero. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 09:16, 12 March 2015 (UTC)
