Lukumanu iddrisu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non-notable individual who fails WP:ENT. Sourcing is poor, mostly mentioning the article subject in passing or coming from sources (like his university listing him as an alumni) that are not entirely third party. Iddrisu's main claim to notability is him wining a scholarship (described by the article's sources as an award) to Vaasa University of Applied Sciences in Finland. This in itself does not establish the Has made unique, prolific or innovative contributions to a field of entertainment required by WP:ENT, which Iddrisu must be judged against as he is a blogger and motivation speaker.

 * Rebuttal -Lukumanu iddrisu deletion: The article has been re-edited and written in a way that meet the requirement of section 1 of Any biography; because Iddrisu received a significant award. Furthermore, the argument regarding the award received being a scholarship does not hold. An award can come in many forms. Award at certain ceremonies comes in the form of scholarship in cash and certificate. That is what the news cited as well.
 * Additionally, his thesis work has contributed to improving the poor study or ill-information of the subject matter which is Thought Leadership. Therefore I suggest it is Kept Sasluk11 (talk) 18:43, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * WP:ANYBIO states that individuals can be assumed to be notable if they have received a well-known and significant award or honor. As far as an encyclopedia is concerned, a scholarship to Vaasa University is not a well known (and probably not significant) award. Even if these criteria are judged to be met, the article subject should be judged against WP:ENT as he is now a motivational speaker. See WP:NOT for why this is an issue.

 * Delete - fails WP:GNG, WP:ANYBIO due to lack of substantial coverage in multiple independent reliable sources. The award for his BS thesis does not establish notability by any stretch of imagination. Rentier (talk) 23:55, 12 January 2018 (UTC)
 * Strong delete The only notability criteria he would meet in theory would be for an academic. However getting some award for an undergraduate thesis is just not enough to show that someone is notable.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:27, 16 January 2018 (UTC)
