Delete: as non-notable actor. I originally intended to nominate several weeks ago, but out of respect for this young man's tragic death I waited. However, there is no way this article meets WP:NACTOR, so we may as well get it over with. Quis separabit? 03:37, 3 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep Has won a notable award, having its own article,had a lead role in a film, his sad passing received national coverage, I think WP:GNG is passed Atlantic306 (talk) 14:25, 3 February 2016 (UTC)


 * Keep as winner of a notable film award who was also nominated for similar award consecutively. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 19:05, 3 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep perhaps simply because of the award and if not for that, I would've suggested simply deleting. SwisterTwister   talk  05:50, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete - I don't mean this in a nasty way (and I sincerely apologize if this comes across bad) ... but it seems he's more notable for his death than for any films he's done ... Other than his death I can't find anything at all on him..., Even the 3 sources listed in the article are simply about his death and nothing else ....., If someone can find anything outside of his death then I'd be more than happy to change but as it stands as I said I cant't find anything... – Davey 2010 Talk 23:46, 9 February 2016 (UTC)
 * , the subject of the article appears to meet WP:ANYBIO as winner of Best of Nollywood Awards, a notable film award in Nigeria. I will like to mention that WP:GNG is independent of the events that generated news coverage. The significance of an event or individual is indicated by how persistent the coverage is in reliable sources. It doesn't matter if the coverages were generated as a result of the subject's death. What matters is the reliability of the sources. Although, there are exceptional cases where GNG is unlikely to count. for example if the subject is notable for one event and that's not the case here. In fact there are instances where we still "keep" article in spite of being notable for one event. Although this usually occur in rare cases. See for example Patrick Sawyer and the associated deletion discussion here. Cheers. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 17:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I get where you're coming from but for me this is a BLP1E case - Prior to his death there wasn't much (if any) sources on him and so I personally believe he does fail BLP1E and GNG, – Davey 2010 Talk 18:13, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * , WP:BLP1E only applies to living person. I don't see how WP:BLP1E applies here. This article is a WP:BDP and not WP:BLP. BLP1E should be applied only to biographies of living people and to biographies of low-profile individuals. Let me know, if you need further clarification.

 * I'm not asking for clarification ... I'm simply !voting on how I see it, Okay "1E" whatever, Look point is I don't believe they're a notable individual and that's it.... – Davey 2010 Talk 22:25, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * , I understand that you're simply voting but remember that while WP:AfD may look like a voting process, it does not operate like one. Please, accept my apology if you think I bug you in anyway. Warm regards. Wikic¤l¤gyt@lk to M£ 22:40, 11 February 2016 (UTC)
 * I know how AFDs work I've been dealing with 'em for the past 3 years (and counting! ), Anyway we all have our different opinions etc ect, No worries Happy editing. – Davey 2010 Talk 23:10, 11 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment Apart from lots of posthumous RS; found some earlier bits and pieces here, here, here'', here, and here Atlantic306 (talk) 23:13, 16 February 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep - Irrespective of whether many of the sources highlighted in this AFD were published before his death or posthumously, this teenage male actor was well known in Yoruba language films. In actual fact, media coverage on his works is impressive for a child actor compared to many others in Nollywood. Eruditescholar (talk) 21:17, 20 February 2016 (UTC)
