This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Businesspeople. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
  1. and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
  2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Businesspeople|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Businesspeople. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
Further information
For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

No significant coverage found, non-notable individual. Not sure why this subject should have a page yet. Pizza on Pineapple (Let's eat🍕) 07:21, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]


Response to Deletion Nomination: Emmanuel Alade

I respectfully oppose the proposed deletion of the Emmanuel Alade article. The subject meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines for creative professionals, as evidenced by the following:

1. Significant Coverage in Reliable Sources: BusinessDay featured an article detailing how Emmanuel Alade is creating platforms for young African creatives, highlighting his impact on the African entertainment industry. [1]

Vanguard News reported on Alade's involvement in the Black Excellence Project, emphasizing his contributions to empowering young black individuals in the field of architecture. [2]

2. Independent and Reputable Sources: The coverage comes from established and reputable news outlets, ensuring the information is both reliable and independent of the subject.

3. Impact and Recognition: Alade's initiatives, such as founding Afrobeatsglobal and Uncut Xtra Magazine, have been instrumental in promoting African music and culture, providing platforms for emerging artists. [3]

His participation in the Black Excellence Project showcases his commitment to mentoring and developing young talents in architecture and related fields. [4]

4. Professional Achievements: As an architect, Alade has contributed to notable projects, including the Eblana project in Dublin and the Abbey Street Project, demonstrating his professional expertise. [5]

Request for Article Improvement: I am committed to enhancing the article by:

  • Appeal Against Speedy Deletion Nomination: I respectfully request reconsideration of the deletion nomination for the Emmanuel Alade article. Multiple reputable sources, including ThisDay, BusinessDay, The Independent, and The Guardian Nigeria, have provided significant and independent coverage of his contributions to entertainment and African cultural promotion. These sources demonstrate his notability, aligning with Wikipedia’s General Notability Guideline (GNG). I believe this article adds value to Wikipedia’s mission of sharing knowledge and kindly urge the reviewing editor to allow further improvements rather than deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waleayanda (talk • contribs) 10:44, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

WP:BLP of a "scientist, inventor, serial entrepreneur, and musician", not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for any of those things. As always, people are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but this is referenced almost entirely to primary sources that are not support for notability, such as the self-published websites of companies and organizations that he's been directly affiliated with, and his musical career being "referenced" entirely to Bandcamp and YouTube, rather than GNG-worthy reliable source coverage about any of it.
The only proper media footnotes present at all are a Toronto Star article that briefly namechecks him as a provider of soundbite in an article about something else, and one article in The Hill that tangentially verifies a stray fact about a piece of legislation without ever mentioning Darryl Hudson's name at all in conjunction with it, neither of which are support for notability either.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to be referenced a hell of a lot better than this. Also, just for the record, the only two inbound links to this page from any other Wikipedia article are both expecting a basketball player from New Zealand, not a magic mushroom entrepreneur. Bearcat (talk) 21:58, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: The article definitely has problems (I kinda think the music section could almost be cut down to a sentence or two about how he enjoys music and self-publishes in his personal life?) but I did review some non-primary sources related to his career: He has two quotes and a decent blurb in the aforementioned Star article[1] and another blurb in a Toronto Sun article[2]. There's also coverage of him in cannabis or psychedelic specific(I think?) news websites [3][4]. I found an archived version of the Senate testimony source[6], which includes a paragraph about him. All of these seem independent, with mixed levels of sigcov and also mixed levels of reliability.
Taken altogether I think the sources still fall short of GNG and subject does not meet WP:BASIC, but I could be persuaded otherwise if other sigcov is found. InsomniaOpossum (talk) 23:41, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This will be controversial. Bragg was a non-notable soldier until 2 days ago, when he was used to justify the renaming of Fort Liberty back to Fort Bragg. He was not and is not independently notable except for that WP:1E. The page should be deleted and relevant information covered at Fort Bragg#Renaming to Fort Bragg or a separate page should be created about the naming and renaming of Fort Bragg Mztourist (talk) 03:49, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Military-related deletion discussions. Mztourist (talk) 03:52, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Bragg clearly has WP:SIGCOV. Additionally, WP:ANYBIO states that the recipient of "a well-known and significant award or honor" makes one eligible. Having one of the largest military installations in the world named after you surely qualifies. Furthermore, Bragg does have coverage in newspapers and a book outside of and preceding the fort surrounding the ambulance incident; therefore WP:1E does not apply. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 04:03, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Having a base (or a ship) named after you does not satisfy WP:ANYBIO#1 which refers to awards like the Medal of Honor. The ambulance incident wasn't notable 2 days ago. Mztourist (talk) 04:54, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    ANYBIO does not say that it is only referring to awards or honors like the Medal of Honor. Do you have precedent for this view? Moreover, of course the ambulance incident is notable. It was covered in multiple newspapers and in a book. Just because it hadn't been covered until today doesn't mean that it wasn't notable. ~Darth StabroTalk •{{nbsp}Contribs 05:00, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I have never seen any determination that having a base named after you satisfies WP:ANYBIO#1, but there is precedent that having a ship named after a person does not make that person independently notable, see: Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Military history/Archive 159#having a military ship named after you proves notability. To my knowledge a discussion of base names has not occurrred, presumably because bases are usually named after notable people (Generals, MoH awardees etc.) and not just people who conveniently have the same surname as a Confederate general. Mztourist (talk) 05:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Bases can also be named after general ideas such as liberty, and cities can be named after random miners in the case of the Soviet Union. It's not our job to make value judgments whether the persons are deserving of being namesakes, just to weigh if a subject has received sufficient coverage to establish notability. NICHOLAS NEEDLEHAM (talk) 20:45, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

    Please advise your policy based argument. Mztourist (talk) 04:54, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I appreciate the thoughtful discourse on this topic. However, to me, Bragg is certainly eligible under WP:ANYBIO at this point. I would concur with others that having one of the largest bases in the world named after a subject would be considered an honor befitting a "well-known and significant award or honor." If there is a more robust definition of how Wikipedia defines "significant honor" that does not include a military installation, I would be interested to see it. Additionally, the assertion that Bragg was not notable in any way prior to this week is discounting that he received prior recognition including the Silver Star for his brave exploits during the Battle of the Bulge, which were notable enough for John Eisenhower to include in his 1969 book on the subject, which was listed as a bestseller in The New York Times, Publisher's Weekly, and TIME magazine. It is safe to say that many readers across the United States learned Roland Bragg's name then, just as readers are re-learning his name today. His story of bravery was not merely told this week for the first time - it was featured in various newspapers across the United States and in at least one magazine going as far back as thirty years ago and most recently in 2016. Lastly - As of writing this, this article has reached over 86 thousand views in the past day. The median article on Wikipedia gets about one page view per week, or an average of 52 views per year (WP:VIEWSSTATS). In my view, it is clear that the readers of this encyclopedia are interested and earnest to learn more about this notable American hero, and I personally think we should give them the great privilege to do so. Thank you all for your time. DMVHistorian (talk) 04:58, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    The Silver Star is the 3rd-highest military decoration for valor in combat, it is never enough to satisfy WP:ANYBIO#1. Of course the page has high views, Hegseth chose him because he shares Braxton Bragg's surname, pure WP:1E Mztourist (talk) 05:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC) I've read extensively about the Battle of the Bulge, visited the battlefield and museums several times and have never heard about the ambulance incident until reading Bragg's page. It isn't even mentioned on the Battle of the Bulge page. I don't have Eisenhower's book, how much of it is devoted to Bragg? A chapter? A page? A paragraph? Mztourist (talk) 05:25, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If the Google snippet is anything to go by, less than a page. I've also done extensive reading on the Battle of Bulge, and have never heard of Bragg until now. I suspect this will be kept based on the renaming (hence my weak Keep vote), but I really don't think he has any notability aside from that. And he certainly doesn't inherit notability from the sales figures for Eisenhower's book. Intothatdarkness 17:23, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Although it is not deep, it does contribute to his coverage being widespread. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 23:30, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Except it wasn't widespread in RS as far as I can tell prior to the decision to rename the base again. That's why I changed my vote. We recently deleted an article about a winner of the silver star as non-notable. Bragg isn't any different except for the fact he conveniently has the same last name as someone else. Intothatdarkness 12:45, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • A reasonable AfD nomination by the OP and I had to marinate on this for a bit, but ultimately landed on barely a Keep (but not a Weak Keep), as the subject is notable for two independent incidents, each of which is separately chronicled and each by multiple RS: the ambulance incident (which was reported three times: in a 2016 article by Reunions Magazine, in the 1969 Eisenhower book, and in a 1999 non-paid [staff written] obit in the Portland Press Herald [6]); and, as the namesake of Fort Bragg (which was widely reported by dozens of sources in 2025). If only one of these two points of notability existed, the article would potentially fail WP:BLP1E. Chetsford (talk) 05:46, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Lots of news articles talking about him plus the book by Eisenhower. Definitely relevant and necessary.Kfein (talk) 05:59, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Well written and we have articles about obscure footballers with 12 page views every month, so deleting this would be quite hypocritical. Alexysun (talk) 06:29, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep: Why would someone try to delete this? I think it would just need to be uploaded again later, if it were deleted. Durindaljb (talk) 07:17, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, name well never be unstoried. Hyperbolick (talk) 11:10, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep, but only a weak Keep. Delete and Merge I'm not convinced he's notable on his own if Fort Bragg hadn't been renamed again. The article isn't especially well written in my opinion, and would it really have generated a ton of page views if he hadn't been used to rename Fort Bragg? Doubtful. We recently deleted at least one article on a Silver Star recipient as not notable, and I have never been persuaded by the obituary equals notability argument. But we're here because his name coincides with the previous name of Fort Bragg. I would support a Merge of his information to the Fort Bragg article, but since that's not likely to happen we're stuck with this article. Intothatdarkness 13:12, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    He doesn't have to be worthy of an article on his own outside of the renaming. WP:1E is not WP:2E. He's now notable for more than one event—the renaming and the ambulance incident. Both have independent significant coverage in multiple sources. Therefore he meets GNG. ~Darth StabroTalk • Contribs 13:45, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    If the ambulance event is so significant, why does it only have one line in the article? And why is there only one real source for it outside of what appear to be circular references? Sorry, I remain unconvinced about its broader notability outside of the renaming (which may be enough to retain the article). Intothatdarkness 14:01, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I've been thinking about this, and have changed to Delete and Merge. Bragg simply isn't notable on his own, and if the fort's name hadn't have been changed odds are the vast majority would never have heard of him. Intothatdarkness 19:48, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep for the time being, per WP:RAPID and WP:SNOW. This can be revisited in about six months or so, when it is likely that we will be able to better assess whether this falls into the category of WP:BLP1E or WP:LASTING. A. Randomdude0000 (talk) 15:52, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Merge and delete. Bragg is notable for only one event, SECDEF Hegseth announcing that the military installation formerly named for Confederate general Braxton Bragg until prohibited by an act of Congress will again be named Fort Bragg, only this time honoring PFC Bragg. I disagree with Chetsford's opinion that Bragg is notable for a second incident, the ambulance incident in WW2.
  • Reunions Magazine is not a news magazine, it's a publication that "helps family, class alumni and military reunions relive the past and make new memories, thereby helping in finding new ways to celebrate".
  • The ambulance incident is mentioned on one page of a 522-page book.
  • Bragg is one of 100,000–150,000 soldiers who received the Silver Star.
  • Obituary. He was a local businessman and served on local committees. Here's an example for the sources used to justify notability, an opinion piece in the Lincoln County News, Maine, that mentions Bragg in this paragraph: Serving with Selectman Bunker on the committee to preserve a one-room schoolhouse are George Dow, town historian; Evelyn Cross, former chairman of the Bicentennial Committee; Paul and Marjorie Sheldon, secretary for the committee; Roland and Barbara Bragg; Estelle Hall; Jack and Grayce Studley; Ruth and Harold Witham; Nettie Starkey; Leonard and Nancy Hartford; Adah and Tom Wriggins; Robert and Sally Dunbar; Wilder Hunt, school principal; and Robert Spear, chairman of the school board. Wilbur E. Erskine has been named an honorary member of the committee.

Keep Ludicrous nomination, very clearly has enough coverage to have an article, and having an army base named after you is a lasting situation rather than one event. Chessrat (talk, contributions) 00:49, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep Agree with Mztourist that this Bragg becoming the namesake of Fort Bragg is insufficient for WP:ANYBIO when Hegseth was clearly looking for the second-most famous veteran with this surname. However, all rules fall before the need to serve readers. Whereas articles on crimes often wield WP:1E to have the otherwise non-notable perpetrator and/or victim bios as sections, rather than distinct articles, the Fort Bragg article already has so much else to cover. Merging in this niche but sufficiently well-documented WWII military history seems likely to cramp the article. Whereas AfD often has "wait and see" arguments for whether the subject will gain notability to deserve an article in the future, I think retaining now makes sense, but if the base gets renamed by the next president, then the case for deletion would be strong. Chessrat calls the naming a lasting situation, but look how long "Fort Liberty" lasted. 🤷 ViridianPenguin🐧 (💬) 06:52, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Notability not established. This appears to be a businessman, with the majority of the sources being standard company announcements. I would suggest redirecting to the notable company fOr which he's the CEO, but there is no corresponding article. The article also leans heavily on Mugerwa's local Rotary Club presidency, but that's just puffery.

Of the three sources on the article this one is a local news report about a bathroom mirror that advertises and spies on people in the toilet. This one does not appear to give sigcov, as Brian Reid is not the topic of the article, but is an employee of the same. This one is an interview and therefore is not valid for establishing notability.

This is a lengthy article standing on just a single RS here[7]. The other sources do not show that this entrepreneur meets any notability guidelines. These sources here are interviews[8][9][10][11][12][13]. This[14] is written by the subject of this article. These here[15][16][17][18][19] are statements where the subject received trivial mentions. These are primary sources[20][21] Mekomo (talk) 06:19, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  • Oppose the article has been updated since nomination. The links you yourself have proposed further support the notability guidelines, especially when we consider the region she operates in, which has a smaller media landscape than for Western individuals, and that does not always have documented sources that Wikipedia considers appropriate. Consider this feature of her speaking publicly about abolishing state descriptors to remove barriers to job access, or here speaking about electoral integrity. It was distributed by a major news outlet, which would be considered a RS elsewhere in the world. But because it is not hosted on an independent site, only Youtube it is not appropriate for Wikipedia. There are lots of other supporting information about Okoye that is distributed this way. I think the argument that there are not enough reliable sources to establish notability is particularly narrow as we should be conscious that not all regions have the sources that would be expected by a Western audience. If we deny on these grounds it risks biasing the Encyclopedia further, especially when it concerns those that are considered notable persons outside a Western perspective. The readers can come to their own conclusions. Nayyn (talk) 10:50, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Your update after the nomination does not address the notability concerns raised because you merely edited the existing information in the article without addressing the main issue. The three sources you presented are not different from what were already in the article in the sense that the new ones you presented are also interviews by a TV station. She was only interviewed commenting on a different thing and that does not improve her notability. Please checkout WP:INDEPENDENT. You're an autopatrolled user right holder that should have a deep understanding of what reliable and acceptable sources are.

Oppose Agree with @Nayyn's argument about a) the article being improved significantly and b) some aspects of notability needing to take context into consideration.

  • Therefore; ZERO(0) secondary, reliable and independent to the subject sources remained.

Even if "Onix" was notable, notability for each and every subject requires verifiable evidence because notability is not INHERITED. Sadly, it is not.
Also, could you provide the source you got all the "Early life, birth information, education, career and parents names" information? ANUwrites 15:06, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
@Anuwrites Thank you for your detailed feedback. I appreciate your concerns and would like to clarify the reliability of the references cited in the article.
  • Reference 1: This source is from X (formerly Twitter), but it belongs to the Chief Minister of Gujarat's official government account, which should be considered a valid and authoritative source.
  • Reference 6: This is from the Government of India’s official MCA (Ministry of Corporate Affairs) website, which contains business registration details. Additionally, Proof e-Room has been attached as supporting documentation.
  • Reference 11: This is a statement given by Hardik Adhiya, covered by APN News, making it a secondary source, not a self-published one.
  • Reference 17: This source covers the IPO launch news, which was reported by multiple major news outlets across India. The article was authored by Anurima Mondal—what evidence do you have that this is self-published?
  • Reference 20: This article was written by Vaibhav Patil, a staff member at Trade Brains. Do you have any concrete proof that this is a self-published source? Moreover, the article covers multiple renewable energy companies, with Onix being just one among them. How can you claim that this is promotional? I would request you to verify facts before making such statements.
  • Reference 3: This article is from The Times of India, and the author's ID refers to topic-related indexing, similar to how Quora categorizes topics. It does not mean the article was authored by Mr. Savaliya himself. As a Journeyman Editor, I’m sure you are aware of this system.
  • Reference 10: This is a published book written by Divyesh Savaliya, not a news article or a self-published web post.
  • Reference 11 (mentioned twice): As stated earlier, this is a statement given by Onix’s COO, covered by a news organization, not an article authored by the COO himself.
  • References 9, 14, 15, 18, 19: These references were added to establish Onix Renewable’s achievements and notability. Since Divyesh Savaliya is the founder, naturally, the company’s accomplishments will be mentioned. That does not mean the sources are irrelevant.
  • References 4, 5, 7, 8, 12: I have cross-verified all these sources, and they do not contain the same sentence. Additionally, Reference 7 is in Gujarati, while the others are in English. How can they all be identical? Please ensure fact-checking before making such claims.
  • Early Life, Education, and Career:
    • I have provided two references for the Early Life section.
    • Information on birth details, education, and career was sourced from Medium.com, Quora, and LinkedIn (official, verified profiles). I understand that Wikipedia does not consider these highly reliable, so I am currently searching for better sources that comply with Wikipedia’s guidelines. That is why I initially classified this article as Stub-Class, just like you did in a recent case with Grace Mapunda. The article is still in development.
I respectfully request experienced editors or admins to cross-verify ANUwrites’ statements before making a final decision on the article. ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ OnixPhilos ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 06:11, 13 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete: Company might be notable, this person doesn't appear to be. Sourcing is all about the company, with little about the individual. I'm not sure the award won helps notability. Oaktree b (talk) 16:30, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Oaktree b: Thank you for your feedback! I understand the concern regarding individual notability. However, I would like to highlight a few points:
    1. Notability Through Company: Many notable individuals are recognized due to their contributions to the companies they founded. Since Divyesh Savaliya is the Founder, Chairperson, and Managing Director of Onix Renewable Ltd., his impact on the renewable energy sector is well-documented.
    2. Reliable Coverage: The article includes references from independent, reliable sources such as The Economic Times, Business Standard, Mint, Financial Express, and Mercom India. These sources not only cover Onix Renewable Ltd. but also specifically mention Divyesh Savaliya's role, leadership, and influence.
    3. Direct Mentions in Media: Divyesh Savaliya has a dedicated author/topic ID on The Economic Times (The Economic Times), which indicates significant coverage about him in a notable publication.
    4. Wikipedia’s Notability Guidelines: WP:NBIO states that a person is considered notable if they have received significant coverage in independent, reliable sources. The subject meets this criterion through multiple news articles that discuss his work, leadership, and contributions to the renewable energy industry.
    I am open to further improving the article based on specific feedback. If any sections still need additional independent sources or rewording to maintain neutrality, please let me know.
    Looking forward to your thoughts! ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ OnixPhilos ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 19:02, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    I'd appreciate if you didn't leave disparaging remarks on my talk page for one. I neither have the time nor the technical know-how to be an administrator.

  • Keep – Divyesh Savaliya meets WP:NBIO as an entrepreneur and leader in the renewable energy sector. Multiple independent sources, including The Economic Times, Business Standard, and Mint, cover his role beyond just the company. His contributions to solar and wind energy, as well as his public recognition, establish notability. The article can be improved with better sources, but deletion is unnecessary. A merge into the company page would diminish his individual impact.⋆｡˚꒰ঌ OnixPhilos ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 04:36, 14 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Could perhaps merge a small section into an article about the company, founding a company isn't terribly notable. Having an author listing also isn't notable... The rest of the sources are as explained above. We're looking for articles about the person; we have plenty of coverage showing their association with the company. That implies notability, but the lack of extensive sourcing is what's holding us back here. No one is guaranteed an article for simply being notable, we need sources that are helpful. Sources 18, 19 and 20 are used to support the claim that this person's contributions "have been noted in energy publications", but they DO NOT mention this person. At this point, I'm unsure why they're even used in the article, they tangentially mention the Onyx company and don't mention this person at all. Oaktree b (talk) 21:35, 11 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    @Oaktree b, I appreciate your feedback, but I believe there’s a misunderstanding regarding the sources provided.
    1. Direct Mentions in Articles: Many of the sources cited do not just mention Onix Renewable Ltd.; they also discuss Divyesh Savaliya’s role, leadership, and contributions. If you open and read the full articles rather than just the titles, you will see that his name and contributions are explicitly mentioned.
    2. Search Engine Visibility: If the argument is that coverage is only about the company, then why does a simple Google search for "Divyesh Savaliya" bring up news articles specifically mentioning him? This indicates that independent media has recognized him separately from the company.
    3. Author Listing and Notability: Having an author/topic listing on The Economic Times is not something arbitrarily given to just anyone. This itself indicates significant recognition.
    4. Avoiding Misrepresentation: Stating that the sources only cover the company and not Divyesh Savaliya is factually incorrect. I request that before making such claims, the sources be properly reviewed rather than just glancing at the titles.
    I would appreciate if an administrator or Senior Editor could also review this objectively to ensure a fair and well-informed decision.
    Looking forward to constructive feedback. Thank you! ⋆｡˚꒰ঌ OnixPhilos ໒꒱˚｡⋆ 07:33, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
    Chill friend, whether admins, senior or junior editors all listen to the votes "here", we're all bound by strict WP&AFD rules, don't wait for anyone, work on proving why the article shouldn't be deleted. I hope they help us give you a short break. ANUwrites 15:10, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Gabriel Edgal – Meets WP:GNG and WP:SIGCOV

I believe the article Gabriel Edgal meets Wikipedia’s General Notability Guidelines (WP:GNG) and Significant Coverage (WP:SIGCOV) standards based on the following points:
	1.	Substantial Leadership & Notability in African Banking
	•	Gabriel Edgal has held executive leadership roles in major financial institutions across Africa, including:
	•	CEO of Oakwood Green Africa, a financial and trade advisory firm.
	•	Promoter of Bloom Bank Africa, a banking group with operations in Gambia, Sierra Leone, and Liberia.
	•	Former CEO of First Atlantic Bank Ghana (2013–2016).
	•	Former Africa CEO for United Bank for Africa (UBA), overseeing 18 African countries.
	•	His leadership across multiple financial institutions aligns with WP:ANYBIO, which recognizes significant figures in business and finance.
	2.	Independent, Reliable Media Coverage (Meets WP:SIGCOV)
	•	Gabriel Edgal has been featured in multiple independent news articles, discussing his impact on banking, digital finance, and trade facilitation in Africa.
	•	Here are key references demonstrating substantial coverage in independent sources:

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZL78wJyPiw Trade Finance & Economic Policies (YouTube)]

[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E3TTrrHZJEk Afreximbank Discussion (YouTube)]

	•	These sources provide substantial coverage beyond routine announcements, focusing on his impact in trade finance and banking innovation.

	3.	Comparable Wikipedia Articles Exist

	•	Gabriel Edgal’s notability and media coverage are similar to other African banking executives who have Wikipedia pages, such as:
	•	Daniel Wilson Addo – CEO of Consolidated Bank Ghana. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Wilson_Addo Daniel Wilson Addo]
	•	Given his equal or greater recognition and media coverage, his article aligns with precedent cases for business leaders.

	4.	Alternative to Deletion – Consider Draftification

	•	If concerns remain regarding WP:SIGCOV, I propose moving the article to Draft space instead of deletion.
	•	This will allow further improvements, sourcing, and verification rather than outright removal.

Gabriel Edgal is a highly notable figure in African banking with independent media coverage that meets Wikipedia’s notability standards. Instead of deletion, I suggest retaining or draftifying the article while improving references.

Delete. None of the sourcing I see in the article appears to meet the mark for establishing notability. Further searching doesn't seem to reveal any significant coverage in reliable, independent sources. Impressive person for sure, but as of now he doesn't have the SIGCOV needed to establish notability.

Majority of cited sources focus on Viraj Bahl company growth (revenue & product launches) rather than his personal notability as an individual. Refs (India.com, TimesNowNews, DNA India) lack depth or are promotional in tone. Coverage in outlets ( Inc42 and ET Retail ) primarily discuss Veeba as a company, not Viraj Bahl individual legacy or influence beyond his role as founder. While his role as a judge on Shark Tank India(2024) adds to his public profile, this is recent and may not yet be supported by independent sourcing to confirm lasting notability failing WP:NBLP and many of the sources here are exactly what WP:NEWSORGINDIA tells us to watchout for.

  • Delete I was also amazed by the number of references and was trying to persuade myself that the person is notable, but when I analyzed all the sources, I realized that they lack depth, independence, and reliability, failing to provide sustained coverage that would justify inclusion on Wikipedia (WP:GNG). Most of the references cited are local Nigerian publications such as Punch, Business Day, Vanguard, and Guardian Nigeria, which frequently publish routine coverage, interviews, and promotional articles rather than critical, biographical journalism. Most of the sources appear to be WIKIPEDIA:CHURNALISM - press releases, industry websites, or affiliated organizations (Marketing Edge, NiPRO, Advertisers Association of Nigeria), all of which fail Wikipedia’s reliable source criteria. While she has published one book, The Pressure Cooker, it does not meet Wikipedia’s notability criteria for authors (WP:NAUTHOR), as there is no evidence of bestseller status, major literary awards, or academic significance. The article reads like a resume or promotional biography, listing awards, job positions, and speaking engagements rather than demonstrating why she is notable on a broader scale. Given the lack of substantial third-party sources, the over-reliance on weak or non-independent references, and the overall promotional nature and poor notability of the person, the page should be deleted. 98.10.26.73 (talk) 16:32, 12 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Non-notable business executive who fails WP:GNG or WP:ANYBIO. Notability is not inherited. Sources are either iffy, are promo, or are lacking substantial coverage of the subject. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 16:51, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

If you feel that these sources can further enhance the article, I encourage you to integrate them. However, I worry that the Pulse reference is too gossipy for Wikipedia as it hinges on a tweet that supposedly received some controversy. A few of the other sources you just provided, including the "Dating Rumor" article, are also unlikely to be of much help for similar reasons as the Pulse reference. As such, I would exercise caution to ensure that the content being added is encyclopedic in nature.Dobbyelf62 (talk) 18:22, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

But this isn't like that. The subject appears notable, and has significant coverage in respected international media. Managers are not all alike, and some are actually creative artists themselves.

    A legitimate newbie is someone who is making a good faith effort to add content, but doesn't know how to add tags or formatting, or how to provide reliable sources.

I nominated this article 25 hours after it was created and over 16 hours after it was last edited. This article has only been edited once (hours after I nominated it) by the article creator. So, I do not see where BITE is coming from at all, it is a serious comment that requires you to first be sure.
