This has been kicking around draft space for ages with extensive sockery: Wikipedia:Sockpuppet investigations/Princek2019 which was addressed at the prior AfD. It has been accepted at AfC in absolute good faith, but I don't think this businessman is sufficiently notable, so bringing it here for consensus. Sourcing is run of the mill and the awards do not seem notable. Star Mississippi 16:07, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Comment The article as it stands, having been précised prior to acceptance, shows a businessman on the cusp of notability. If pushed hard I woudl say that he is not quite notable, WP:BIO borderline fail, but that his company is just notable, WP:NCORP borderline pass. That means that the decision is complex and may come down to redirecting to the company.
- There is a further element in play here. The creating editor states that they are Fela Akinse. They also state that they have paid editors to create prior versions. There is also the prior AfD with the outcome of 'delete' but slightly ambiguous close wording. Perhaps 78.26 will sort that out?
- Alongside that there is the SPI, which, if proven, will likely result in a G5
- All sorts of decisions to be made. Does inciting paid editors to create a prior version mean that this should be deleted, for example.
I will consider my opinion further. However, should I not have reached a further conclusion, please register this as a weak delete 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 16:44, 8 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @Timtrent: sorry for confusion. I'll try again. I wanted to note that there was a policy-based keep argument from an editor who was not involved in sockpuppetry, etc. However, I found the delete arguments stronger, and therefore judged consensus as delete. Is that better? 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 04:35, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
- @78.26 here, yes. There I remain perplexed. Perhaps it's me! 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 06:57, 9 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete While this is by no means the worst self-written vanity piece, in that there is at least some semblance of notability, I don't see enough of it to pass. And although AfD isn't a mechanism for meting out punishment for bad-faith editing, I don't think we need to entirely overlook it, either, as that would exonerate the editor and potentially encourage more of the same. Therefore even if it were a close call, I'd err on the delete side, and it isn't that close after all. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 15:09, 13 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Comment- DoubleGrazing The above references should meet notability but If you need more sources to prove notability, I will gladly provide. I can't edit the article as it is , if not I would have done that to prove to you . I have over 25 awards local and internationally with the sources available but I can't updates as it is due to COI. User_talk: Awesome Aasim this not promotional because I got enough reference to prove my point of notability both local and international references. Anyways I am sorry but only wish this is looked at on neutral basis. Timtrent if this is push to draft/deleted/ relisted as punishment I see it as my faith (Hard luck), I am deeply sorry if I offend you or this project. I love you all. lets love leads.
