Borderline notability. Some news sources just simply mentions him. Arthistorian1977 (talk) 11:07, 10 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete - passing mentions do not prove notability. Fails WP:GNG and WP:NBIO. Kirbanzo (talk) 00:32, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. Subject meets WP:BLP1E as he is notable for being the convener of End SARS a police brutality campaign against the Nigerian police. I strongly believe he satisfies that notability guideline. He was also featured on CNN with a bunch of articles from CNN about him and also covered by national news agencies. Here's a link where you can find most of the news articles i'm seeing from my end Check here ShunDream (talk) 19:50, 17 September 2018 (UTC)
 * Do you know the meaning of WP:BLP1E? Briefly, in your words, can you kindly tell me what it means in one sentence?

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Neutral: Not sure WP:10YT is guaranteed. #ENDSARS movement began a sociopolitical engagement that stirred the national polity, and probably revolutionized the way police interact with citizens, but I'm not convinced the original convener is of enough significance to the movement itself as its success and publicity was mainly due to random persons sharing their experiences of police harassment and brutality on Twitter. This is also corroborated in that, there isn't even a mention of Awosanya in the parent article. Nonetheless, the movement at its climax was so much of a big deal that people will always want to know who started it. My arguments are not strong as they are mainly based on Wikipedia essays, not policies, hence I'll sit on the fence. I'll also be fine with a redirect to ENDSARS article.HandsomeBoy (talk) 19:28, 21 September 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep. Subject meets WP:BIO1E. In the CNN article cited he is described as "a leading figure in the #EndSARS campaign". The Google search already described by ShunDream above convinced me that this is not the only article. --Cyfal (talk) 13:53, 25 September 2018 (UTC)
