Article fails WP:GNG. This is the only reliable source on the actor. I am very familiar with the Nigerian film industry and the name doesn't ring a bell. I am also particularly irritated that the article is an autobiography. We need to let new editors know that they can't create articles about themselves here. Darreg (talk) 11:44, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

Hello Darreg, my name is Ayodeji Oni, I am part of a team profiling and providing more knowledge on the new generation of Nigerian Actors and we do manage some, we are not too familiar with the way Wikipedia works in full and have been learning as we go (and certainly have much more to learn, but we created the Article on behalf of the named Actor although we created the account in his name, even the Username is his social media name as there was no attempt to be deceitful. haven said that, the named Actor is known in the industry and one of the fore-runners in the Casting industry, as an Actor/Model, he still presently has an advert running on CNN. Please, it is a bit disheartening to rubbish a young man's hardwork, simply because you do not know him. There are no lies, nor any wrong information on his page as we provided, he indeed was one of the three actors nominated for the Best Actor at the last in-short Film Festival. Thanks for the correction, but it will be too brash to delete this Article. Thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by HushnFresh (talk • contribs) 17:41, 14 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: The subject fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. As Darreg previously stated, The Nation Mirror source is the only reliable source available on the web. Multiple sources are needed to establish notability per WP:GNG. According to this source, the actor was nominated for Best Actor at the 2015 In-Short International Film Festival. While this looks promising, the festival doesn't appear to be notable.  Versace1608   Wanna Talk? 23:43, 16 June 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Even though the subject of the article is not known to me at all, I tried to find other sources to establish notability and save the article from deletion. Unfortunately, the lone source highlighted above by the AFD nominator is the only one available and it is insufficient. The subject fails the general notability criteria.

 * Delete as I examined the article but found no actual convincing signs for solid independent notability. SwisterTwister   talk  00:27, 23 June 2016 (UTC)
