I cleaned this posting up some, her work pertains to sociological studies in Nigeria — Preceding unsigned comment added by 199.193.79.98 (talk) 15:40, 22 October 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Keep Her work is cited in reputable journals and books by academics in diverse fields including African-American archaeology, family studies, history and sociology of Nigeria, health and health services in Nigeria, theatre in Nigeria, etc. The evidence indicates that she meets WP:NACADEMIC, although the current article does not do justice to it. However, that is not a reason for deleting it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RebeccaGreen (talk • contribs)
 * Comment Marcellina Offoha also publishes under the names Marcellina Ulunma Okehie-Offoha, Marcellina U Okehie-Offoha, Marcellina U Offoha, and M U Offoha. RebeccaGreen (talk) 09:26, 30 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete If there is any notability, the article does not show it. But the question is whether it might be meet WP:PROF if it were written to demonstrate the notability.  Since she is not notable as administrator--she's Assistant Dean of Students, a beginning administrative position in any university anywhere in the world. So the notability  depends to what extent her works  are cited. I see only one significant published work, a book which she co-edited, and wrote one chapter: Ethnic and cultural diversity in Nigeria,  (not "Ethnic and cultural diversity in America "--the WP article got the title wrong) in which she wrote the chapter, "The Igbo."  The book has been cited 26 times in Google Scholar; her specific chapter seems to have been cited only 2 times. The only other work in WorldCat is her doctoral thesis. Several other articles are listed in Google Scholar, but none of them are cited.  The one article mentioned in the WP article is in a journal not indexed by any service I can find. This is not a situation where we might want to accommodate  our standards, considering the disadvantages of doing academic work in her region.  But that is not the problem here--the problem is that this is too early in her career.  DGG ( talk ) 21:21, 30 October 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment I have had another look at the citations of the book Ethnic and cultural diversity in Nigeria. As well as writing one chapter, the subject of this article wrote the introduction, and of course co-edited the volume. Most of the citations I mentioned above refer to the book as a whole (so including her role as co-editor), some refer to the Introduction, and some to her specific chapter. Only a few refer to another chapter (eg the archaeological papers). I still think she takes the credit for almost all the citations, in widely diverse fields. But I'm sure that anyone who wants to know more about her can find information elsewhere, if this article is deleted. RebeccaGreen (talk) 12:36, 1 November 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete. RebeccaGreen You seem to be having some sort of connection with the aforementioned subject, per my check also there doesn’t seem to be any clearer source to proof that she’s notable, perhaps she might have passed smell-taste with your research, but also consider WP:TOOSOON since there’s no evidence of notability.
