Okey Uzoeshi

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Subject of the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NACTOR. He was describe as "rising actor" by some local blogs. Not every local actor with press coverage are notable. Ref 1 and Ref 2 looks promising but not enough to establish notability. Ref 3 is a blog, ref 4 is a passing mention, ref 5 is a blog and say nothing about the local actor, ref 6 is a "YouTube Video" and ref 7 is not what I will considered a significant coverages (just few lines sentences). Other uncited sources I found are just a passing mention perhaps WP:TOOSOON. In addition, the article is a pet page for an WP:SPA who just want the article to stay.

 * Delete per nom; although it's important to AGF, SPAs often do have COIs with the subjects of their articles.  Mini  apolis  23:33, 30 September 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete, pretty much as above. Guy (Help!) 23:57, 30 September 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now as aside from some News and browser links, there's nothing to suggest better. SwisterTwister   talk  06:00, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete for now, to your point though 'I do not just want the article to stay', I was hoping to start 'editing other articles on wikipedia' and I do have a passion for Nollywood, so what better way to start. Uzoeshi is one of my favourite actors and the 'you tube' videos are actually interviews, not just videos, I noticed on Chiwetel's page that 'you tube interviews' were used as references and so copied that.
 * However I am going to AGF and believe that you 'experienced editors' are after improving searchability and the 'overall quality' of wikipedia, at the end of the day its not about winning. In my view he is 'notable', however 'notability' is very 'vague' on wikipedia. My argument was always COI and not 'notability', the page was on 'wikipedia' way before I decided to contribute to it. I did not create the page.
 * Nollywood is the 3rd largest film industry in the world and Uzoeshi will sit in the top '50' actors easily and also has a decent following in Nigeria. But like I said, I am assuming good faith, so happy for it to be deleted. It may be difficult for some of you to understand that in a lot of ways, Nollywood, for us Nigerians abroad, is one of our key links to home asides from 'blogs', and we do take an avid interest in knowing more about the actors/actresses. Wikipedia and IMDB are key sources, and that was my driver to contribute.
 * WP:SPA???; completely unfair though!; I joined Wikipedia less than a week ago and was 'bitten' as soon as I joined, I have explained, apologised and worked tirelessly to clean up my errors on this article. I have always written; please see my blog here and was a columnist for 'Next234' before it shut down. Its so sad that even though AGF is THE KEY principle of Wikipedia, its clearly not that important to 'anyone' I have come across so far! asides from this AMAZING EDITOR -, who keeps taking the time to be super helpful! ThankYou so much everyone! Adeadeyemi21 (talk) 17:36, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Please calm down. AGF is a behavioral guideline; WP's "key principles" include notability, verifiability and a neutral point of view. One of the encyclopedia's Terms of Service is the requirement that paid editing and other conflicts of interest be disclosed; this is a reason why single-purpose accounts receive extra scrutiny. WP is not a means of promotion. All the best,  Mini  apolis  23:32, 1 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I'm not entirely sure what your point is, I was simply coming back on the comments made above. I believe we are all entitled to our opinions and should be allowed to express them freely. I'm pretty calm. Lol. I'm still learning the wikipedia terms and will get better with time. Maybe I have not been clear, there was no paid editing here and my account was not intended to be set up as an SPA. My point about my account being barely a week old was meant to show that I have only been able to contrubute to this one page. As soon as another editor pointed out that as avid admirer I may be conflicted I added the connected contribute template to the subject's talk page. So I'm pretty unsure how this infers that the page is promotional especially given that Wikipedia has had the page on for years. As mentioned I didn't create it I contributed to it. I can't deal. This is beginning tò sound like a bit of a joke. Its pretty simple if the page doesnt meet the notability requitements than I support deletion. End of! Thanks and take care :). I think we should focus on that rather than on coming back on my comments. Adeadeyemi21 (talk) 00:12, 2 October 2015 (UTC)
