 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was   keep. The AfD has run its course (7 days) so I will just close this as "keep" instead of "speedy keep". Consensus indicates it should be kept either way. (non-admin closure) ceradon ( talk  •  contribs ) 04:05, 2 March 2015 (UTC)

Unsure of how notable this person is, it basically seems likes a long article for a blogger. Wgolf (talk) 23:50, 15 February 2015 (UTC) Withdraw

 * Delete Even the parts that aren't outright glorifications are written with a subjective POV and a thoroughly inappropriate style. The whole thing would have to be rewritten. WP:TNT. —Largo Plazo (talk) 00:29, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep Well, the whole thing has pretty much been rewritten. Notability is well established. —Largo Plazo (talk) 16:11, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment I agree with User:Largoplazo, the article should be rewritten. However, the subject seems to be notable and well known as a 'controversial' blogger in her country, see (Ventures Africa Magazine),  (Premium Times),  (Modern Ghana) etc. We wouldn't discuss her notability if she was from the US, I guess. --Vejvančický (talk / contribs) 07:27, 16 February 2015 (UTC)
 * I guess the question is whether this coverage is substantial enough or mostly just idle gossip column stuff. If we are to keep the article, which I am not saying we should, I'd certainly recommend cutting it down dramatically to just a few verifiable facts and to see if we can find an animal sanctuary willing to re-home all those bloody peacocks. --DanielRigal (talk) 21:24, 16 February 2015 (UTC

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Comment: The subject of the article clearly meet WP:GNG but I think WP:TNT applies, we should blow the article up and rewrite it or reduce it to a stub . Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 21:16, 17 February 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep I rewrote the article removing much of the kruft, promotional sounding sections, and unsourced statements. I included the references mentioned in the discussion above as well as some others I found. The article that is left is much shorter and all but a couple sentences are referenced with inline citations that do work. Ikeji seems to be quite notable based on the press about her in her country. There are a total of 16 references that discuss her some in in substantial pieces. Please let me know if anyone feels the tone needs more work and we can fix that. @Largoplazo @Vejvančický @DanielRigal @Wikicology  @Wgolf - I would respectfully ask you each to give the article a re-look, and consider your vote again. Also, any more suggestions on ways to improve it so it could possibly be kept would be appreciated.     WordSeventeen (talk) 03:46, 23 February 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep: Subject of the article clearly meet WP:BASIC. She had been significantly discussed in multiple independent reliable sources, enough to meet our inclusion criteria. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 02:27, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep: The controversial subject of this article has been discussed in significant detail by several notable publications in Nigeria, including ThisDay and Premium Times to name a few. Significant coverage can be seen here.  V e r s a c e 1 6 0 8   (Talk)


 * Withdraw-Though a article for a blogger does come across as odd to me, but I guess she is notable enough. Wgolf (talk) 16:20, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
 * Feel free to close it as Speedy Keep #1. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 04:13, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
