 * Delete of the 2 references provided, one is unverifiable, the other mentions the subject only in passing. 5 years is enough to search for references. RadioFan (talk) 14:55, 30 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Uncertain but possible keep - I know this debate has been relisted twice but it seems he may actually be well known in Nigeria with Google News archives provided several results here. Two particular articles caught my attention, this one talks about and interviews him as well as calling him as "the founder of Africa's first sports radio station", although radio history may not always be clear, this achievement must be why he has received so much Nigerian attention. The other article is this (uk.reuters.com) which also calls him "a veteran sports broadcaster". I will admit that several of these articles are either payment only, irretrievable due to link rot despite using archive.org or brief mentions but could he be notable in Nigeria? Several of the news article are from Nigeria (mainly AllAfrica and Vanguard) but if you look at the third page of results, there are articles in the Shanghai Daily (English, requires subscription) and Reuters Mexico (Spanish, only mentions him twice). I haven't found in-depth coverage for the Success Digest award but I found this which briefly mentions him for that award. I also haven't found any reliable sources for the "only Nigerian at the 2006 World Cup" or the "only African covering the Marvin Hagler v. Sugar Ray Leonard fight" aside from this which I find the reliability questionable. Hoping to find sources to support the "only African at the San Diego Sports Radio Conference", I searched Google News with no avail but found two results with Google Books, and discovered that Even here, even now supported that particular "only African" claim after I started adding "only" here. Another Google Books search with only "Larry Izamoje" provided these results and other different ones here (continues briefly on second page) with this one also mentioning his education.
