Comment. The article creator has been disrupting this discussion by removing references from the article on the basis that they are poorly formatted.[1][2] I advise anyone commenting here to check the article history before claiming that there is a lack of sources. Phil Bridger (talk) 18:58, 11 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with Phil. These links need to be made into proper references and they then need to be checked. I have started that process, but I do not have much time. I do not have a firm view at this stage, but it looks to me that this person might well be notable and that proper sources can be found. The article needs cleaning up first. --Bduke (Discussion) 07:41, 12 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. It has now been fixed. The references clearly demonstrate notability.--Bduke (Discussion) 06:47, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep, improve, assist and welcome article's primary author. Notable playwright in Nigeria and we would be derelict if we allowed this article to be deleted without much better evidence. Cullen³²⁸ Let's discuss it 05:19, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Incubate since it looks like there's a notable person in there somewhere. Stuartyeates (talk) 23:30, 14 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:01, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Something rather strange going on. Why not just explain to the writer how to use reflinks instead of deleting their attempts to reference the article. That's what a helpful admin did for me when I was getting started. Needs a lot of improvement from current state, but it obviously has the potential to be a reasonable article.Tigerboy1966 (talk) 00:43, 15 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
