WP:NN person. Article features a minimal two sentences holding onto one source and has not been edited in over 9 months. This shows there's nothing of note to add and thus Miss Onalapo does not meet Wikipedia standards. Rusted AutoParts 00:55, 25 May 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep Onaolapo was a gold medalist in 2012 at the Summer Paralympics.
