Kofi Amoah (businessman)

 * – ( View AfD View log )

I do not see the basis of notability here. Many small newspaper items, but nothing substantial or comprehensive--and based on the reported accomplishments, no reason why there ought to be. Owner of various non-notable business, and a bureaucrat in the sports industry.  DGG ( talk ) 00:33, 16 February 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep: Found some sources at Google Books, among others "Political Handbook of the World 2005-2006" is referring to him on page 446, was a Party leader in Ghana. CommanderWaterford (talk) 12:08, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Is that the same person? There seem to be lots of Kofi Amoahs out there based off my WP:BEFORE. -Indy beetle (talk) 06:52, 5 March 2021 (UTC)

 * , sorry for the late reply, missed the first ping. A cite in the book at page 446 https://books.google.es/books?id=u3fFTiEMrGkC&q=%22Kofi+Amoah%22+businessman+-wikipedia&dq=%22Kofi+Amoah%22+businessman+-wikipedia&hl=en&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwix9dCHy6vvAhW1aRUIHRdKBeEQ6AEwBHoECAkQAg refers to a Kofi Amoah who returned 1992 from the US and is a Leader of the GDRP Party. Is he definitely the same person? Good question. CommanderWaterford (talk) 20:31, 12 March 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: Still need a bit of clarification/assessment of the sources found.
 * Keep: Kofi Amoah is notable in Ghana. Sources are reliable, and most are big news agencies in Ghana. Kofi Amoah was appointed in 2018 by FIFA to be president of the Ghana Football Association Normalization committee when the then President was suspended by FIFA. Selorm18 16:21, 1 March 2021
 * Delete per nom. If the subject is notable mainly due to Amoah being the head of the Normalization Committee of the Ghana Football Association, then this football body would have to be notable in the first place, but it is not apparent to me that it is notable (and it doesn't have it's own article) — Alalch Emis (talk) 19:55, 11 March 2021 (UTC)
