Kofi Danso

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not meet notability criteria of WP:GNG or WP:BIO. References given do not discuss him significantly, and Google search for the name does not come up with anything that does, except for a couple of newspaper articles discussing controversy surrounding him. ... disco spinster   talk  00:55, 11 April 2019 (UTC)

 * I would suggest finding and adding reliable sources establishing the subject's notability. Meatsgains (talk) 23:16, 11 April 2019 (UTC)


 * Comment I haven't checked for alternatives but the current refs are all problematic. The Prague Post is not what it used to be and now accepts contributions from basically anyone who can write 500 to 1000 word articles in coherent English (see ) so the content there is probably self-written publicity. PRWeb, as its name suggests, publishes self-written PR. Zim Citizen is a blog. www.MiracleArena.ca is a dead link but was presumably the ministry's official website and thus not independent. IdeaMensch is "a crowdsourced interview platform for entrepreneurs, makers, and doers" and in fact the interiew's questions are a simple template as explained here (I'm not sure that sentence is clear but basically there is no interviewer, only an interviewee and again, this is basically self-written promo).

 * Delete After looking for references, I'm convinced there's not enough material from third-party reliable sources to meet the general notability guideline. In fact, the only coverage in reliable sources does not concern his ministry but a sinister paternity lawsuit that he lost after telling the mother that she would die if she kept the baby. But Wikipedia is not news and this affair did not result in lasting coverage. Pichpich (talk) 20:27, 16 April 2019 (UTC)
