Rotimi Ogunjobi

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

In my view, the subject fails both the General notability guidelines for biographies and the Author notability guidelines. After much searching both under his full name (Rotimi Ogunjobi) and his nickname (Timi Ogunjobi), I can find no biographical information which is not self-published. Typical example. There are no reviews of his work in any independently published reliable sources. Virtually all of his work is self-published through various vanity publishers or his own online ventures one of which is Lagos Literary and Arts Journal. Note the user name of the article's creator and sole author. His only independently published work appears to consist of three short stories. One appears in an anthology of "new and emerging writers"   published by Critical, Cultural and Communications Press (2010). One in Queen's Quarterly (2002), and one in an anthology published in Nigeria (1999). Voceditenore (talk) 16:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Voceditenore makes a persuasive argument. Three short stories is not sufficient for WP:AUTHOR and does not seem to meet general notability guidelines. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 10:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
