Sijibomi Ogundele

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The person is of dubious notability. There actually appear to be many news articles on him, however it is unclear whether the information given in the sources is true, as suspicions have been raised if it's fraudulent -. It is uncertain whether the sources on the person concerned (be it in the article or from web search) actually do any fact-checking, therefore there is the question of reliability of the sources per WP:RS (someone who are more knowledgeable about Nigeria publications might help here). The uncertainty of the information in the sources leads to the obvious problem of how much of the biographical information given in the article is true, as well as how to write the article without it being a unreliable or defamatory. My feeling is that the article should be deleted as it may not be possible for it to be reliably sourced - WP:DEL6. Stripped of the unreliable information, and given the lack of solid evidence, it is hard to tell what he is notable for, he therefore also fails WP:GNG. Furthermore because of the unreliability of the information in the article, there is the danger of Wikipedia being used to give legitimacy to a person who has been accused of being a fraudster.

 * Delete. Per nom. Fails WP:GNG on requiring reliable sources. Also fails WP:ANYBIO. Heavily reliant upon WP:QUESTIONABLE sources. Also noted that a submitted draft of the same article at Draft:Sijibomi Ogundele has been previously rejected for failing notability guidelines, but the author decided to proceed with creating the article anyway. —Madrenergictalk 02:57, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep Sijibomi is a notable entrepreneur from Nigeria whose rise from grass to grace inspires a lot of people. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dinovate (talk • contribs) 09:19, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Given that you wrote the article, can you explain why you ignore the various allegations against him, including being a fraudster? There are actually remarkably few other sources on his supposed work aside from his own website, what sources there are are dubious, therefore what exactly is he notable for? Just building a few houses?  I had a look at his supposed luxury properties on Google map and they are on a road that looks badly kept and strewn with rubbish - . There is no evidence that his other projects/properties have ever been built. He appears to be only a minor property developer, and someone like that doesn't merit an article.

 * Also given that some of the articles you have created have been deleted for being promotional and non-notable, can you confirm that you have no links in any way to the person, financially or otherwise? Hzh (talk) 18:05, 16 October 2018 (UTC)
