 * Delete. With one weak-looking exception the sources provided are all dead links or links to his own work. No evidence of multiple RIS. Mccapra (talk) 05:35, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete I looked into this more closely because the nomination and arguments so far are a variation of WP:JUSTNOTNOTABLE. Dead links are also not a reason for deletion, and I was able to access them via the Wayback Machine.  He has won several Nigerian writers awards.  Unfortunately we don't have any articles on Nigerian literature in general or on any of the literature of the languages spoken there.  It is impossible for me to tell if any of these awards should be considered significant.  That said, the only one of these that I can establish WP:V for is a third place prize, which doesn't seem to convey notability.  All the sources in the article are written by the topic, or are a list, or are a casual mention.  I think this topic fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:GNG, but would like to be proven wrong by someone who has better access to Nigerian sources than myself.   78.26  (spin me / revolutions) 16:22, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
