Article topic is a PR firm that won the Public Relations Consultancy of the Year (2019) at the Lagos PR Industry Gala & Awards. No other claim to notability. Mccapra (talk) 17:56, 12 July 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep:the subject of the article meets WP:GNG and WP:NCORP because it has significant independent secondary media coverage. The reason that only one award won by the subject is not significant enough to make it notable does not apply because awards are not part of the primary notability guidelines.

 * Keep: the organisation meets WP:NCORP based on the sources available. Maco Paco (talk) 6:48, 18 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment A PR company has managed to generate PR about the fact that it does PR. That’s all we have here. The sources repeat the same press releases verbatim. This is promotional junk, not in-depth coverage by independent journalists. Mccapra (talk) 04:50, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment I agree that the three "keep" "votes only have a few hundred edits between them; while there's no minimum edit-count, of course, it does rather suggest possible inexperience with our deletion process (particularly when they are all presenting variations on WP:ATADD. Hpefully the closer will take this into account... ——  Serial  17:10, 19 July 2020 (UTC)
