The result was   keep. The first of the nominator's concerns (obituary) has been fixed through the normal editing process. As for the second, (notability) there is a consensus that the subject meets WP:POLITICIAN. (non-admin closure) Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:15, 11 July 2010 (UTC)

Obituary rather than an article. No evidence of notability. &mdash; RHaworth 17:07, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

 *  Weak keep per, he exists, he was a chief, and he was important in his home state. Reasonable expectation of offline sources. cab (talk) 04:17, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, that lists him among those "honoured post-humorously for their exemplary lives and achievements". Qwfp (talk) 08:50, 5 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Changing opinion to Keep. Meets WP:POLITICIAN per source provided by Qwfp, which I somehow didn't find. Good work! cab (talk) 01:19, 8 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets Notability (people) criterion 1. As evidence, see item 5(iv) (p. 539) of the 19 April 2005 Votes and Proceedings of the House of Representatives of the Federal Republic of Nigeria (pdf), which records the reading by the Speaker of a letter “acquainting the House of the death of His Highness (Obong) Rt Hon. Ikpe Umoh Imeh, a former Deputy Speaker of the Eastern House of Assembly and Member of the House of Representatives of the First Republic”. The article should, however, be moved to Ikpe Umoh Imeh, removing the honorific ‘Ubong’ in line with Manual of Style (biographies) and Naming conventions (royalty and nobility).
