Subject fails WP:NAUTHOR and WP:SIGCOV. A search on GNEWS brings up passing mentions on the subject and nothing in-depth on her career as author or otherwise. Lapablo (talk) 21:31, 13 June 2020 (UTC)

 * Regretful delete - I went back and forth on this. A case could be made that some of these positions meet WP:NPOL. Most seem to be the equivalent of high sub-cabinet (which don't automatically qualify), but Director General of the West African Monetary Institute (WAMI) seems to be worth looking at more closely. My reading of Eco (currency) puts WAMI in the role of a precursor to a central bank, and I think the head of a real central bank would meet NPOL. Nonetheless, like the nominator I can find no sources with significant coverage. None of her books (including those not listed in the article) have substantial library holdings, and none of her papers are widely cited. With what seems to be a distinctive proper name, language doesn't seem to be a barrier to search results. As WAMI doesn't have monetary policy-making authority at this point, I can't say she meets NPOL. She seems to come close to notability threshold, but the sourcing just isn't there to support it yet.

 * EDIT: I should also say I think the sourcing could be established for a standalone West African Monetary Institute article, where a very small amount of this information could be merged/redirected to. MarginalCost (talk) 06:02, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * @, I’m not so sure being the head of a notable organization confers automatic notability I’d have to ask that later but I think that would be a capital NO as per WP:NOTINHERITED. If the subject of the article doesn’t satisfy our golden rule or the appropriate SNG(as in this case) then they may not merit a stand-alone article so your desicion to !vote a delete is quite apt.

 * You're right that being head of a notable organization doesn't confer notability, but being a cabinet secretary generally does. (See WP:POLOUTCOMES as the general interpretation of the first criteria of WP:NPOL.) Central Bankers aren't usually cabinet secretaries per se, but are of similar policymaking authority (and I would say even greater), so that's the standard I would look to here. As you say, it's a moot point for now. MarginalCost (talk) 15:23, 14 June 2020 (UTC)


 * Delete — non notable author who doesn’t satisfy WP:AUTHOR. Generally no sources per se discuss her with in-depth significant coverage nor do they discuss her works per WP:SIGCOV. Celestina007 (talk) 11:59, 14 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Delete Agree with nominator, does not satisfy WP:NAUTHOR. Nika2020 (talk) 21:51, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment. It is hard to contest that she does not readily produce en-RS that would provide GNG.  However, her roles are very senior, and that she has been the first woman to hold some of them, even more interesting/notable.  Her books appear cataloged in various libraries (per the authority control), so there is still an NAUTHOR chance.  I wonder if we are missing local Nigerian RS that we can't find easily on the internet?  It doesn't seem right to delete this one? Britishfinance (talk) 17:19, 21 June 2020 (UTC)
 * @, Contrary to popular misconception, Nigeria is easily top 5 most advanced African countries. I’ve lived in/ with Nigerians for 20+ years & I can assure you that every single Nigerian RS is readily available online so if a/an RS can’t be found discussing an individual it’s because that individual isn’t notable just yet.

 * , thank you for that, and I will defer to your expertise in Nigeria. thanks. Britishfinance (talk) 13:32, 22 June 2020 (UTC)
