Not meeting notability. I only find articles he's written, nothing specifically about this individual. Oaktree b (talk) 15:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There was already such a ref about him on the article when you nominated it though. - Indefensible (talk) 15:46, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

About him not being notable? Oaktree b (talk) 18:10, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Articles not just written by the subject but about him. - Indefensible (talk) 21:06, 5 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

As you look for sources, be aware that there's another Patrick Oyet who's a whistleblower in Uganda. --A. B. ^{(talk • contribs • global count)} 02:35, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete - we should have an article about this man -- he's the head of the journalists association in South Sudan, a country that routinely arrests and abuses journalists. But our notability requirement is less about who merits an article than our ability to make a reliable, properly referenced article. In Mr. Oyet's case, we just don't have anything with substantial coverage from a reliable source. Google found 41 articles in various languages. Lots of good passing mentions in reliable sources but just not enough to build an article. This becomes even more important since this is a BLP. It's also a BLP that is more likely to get tampered with, so best delete it if our sourcing is incomplete.

Please ping me if somebody finds something.

I think draftify would be preferred over a complete delete in this case. - Indefensible (talk) 06:27, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draftify - please save a draft copy rather than delete for incubation per above. - Indefensible (talk) 20:04, 8 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Draftify per above - David Gerard (talk) 12:02, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
