I am not convinced that this is more than puffery, with the references either PR or just notices. DGG ( talk ) 04:43, 26 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Ouch. I honestly don't have any COI on this but I have something to point out.

Although I believe there are universal guidelines for us here, we still have some cases where the subjects are just notable to their geographical area. Like the article I created on Karen Gibson who is just notable in the UK until appearing at the Royal Wedding. In some cases, like Fuji House of Commotion, the subject is very very notable but has a very weak calibration with references we could get because it was popular before Nigerian media blended with the internet. That has been the case here, he is a notable Nigerian sphere and the article could be improved. There are still Nigerians in red like Sam Adeyemi, Funke Adejumo whom are of public note but may face this good faith flag off. Fellow Nigerian editors who also care about keeping the Wikipedia standard could help drop a comment.

Keep I find plenty of coverage online of this reverend - it seems that he has made some controversial statements (eg 'Yorubas, Igbos, Hausas monumentally corrupt, Nigerian church built with looted funds – Rev.Yomi Kasali'[1], plus he's condemned other ministers, and comedians who make jokes about religion, etc). The article could certainly be expanded, but I believe he meets WP:GNG, and probably WP:NBISHOP, or whatever the relevant abbreviation is for his denomination.

RebeccaGreen It will be nice to Note that the aforementioned Pastor is not a Bishop and therefore shouldn't be referred as such. I don't think for any reason he should be considered using the criterion's on WP:NBISHOP, because if he was a Bishop, then he's automatically notable.

* Reply I did not say he was a bishop; I am aware that his denomination does not have bishops. What I meant was that within the Apostolic churches of Nigeria, it seems that he may have a similar status. RebeccaGreen (talk) 11:37, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

* RebeccaGreen Yes, you are right. That was why i proposed a strong keep.

Strong Keep. DGG Would you like withdrawing your nomination? Per Danidamiobi he clearly passes WP:GNG and he obviously does same per some of the criterion on WP:ANYBIO.

I consider it highly promotional. He even gives the schedule of his talks. DGG ( talk ) 15:56, 30 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Certainly looks like nothing more than a résumé, with links to opinion columns and press releases. Flowery prose like "and they are blessed with 2 children" shows a clear bias for the subject. Zaathras (talk) 01:45, 3 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]
