should be deleted due to the lack of significant independent coverage that meets the General Notability Guideline (GNG), relying instead on primary sources, company related news and not significant mentions. LusikSnusik (talk) 10:22, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep or redirect: to Nyasa Times, the company that the subject found. Subject has enough WP:GNG. For example here reported by the Telegraph, subject won the Black British Business Person of the Year award in 2021. I also found this where subject is being the founder and the Chief Executive Officer of Malawi's leading online publication, the Nyasa Times that he found in 2006. This could be used to sustain the article per (WP:NEXIST). --Tumbuka Arch (talk) 13:19, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Delete interviews are a poor way to establish notability and if he owns the Nyasa Times then it isn't independent enough to establish notability. Traumnovelle (talk) 21:42, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Traumnovelle Alternatively, it makes sense to redirect it to their company on Wikipedia that the subject found, thus Nyasa Times. Again, not all sources are interviews. Furthermore, this AfD was made by someone at random who was even reported at ANI here and there is even a discussion on their talk page about their nominations.

I don't oppose a redirect. I looked at the references now. I presumed the sources you mentioned were the strongest sources. The strongest source appears to be the Yorkshire Evening Post but it isn't enough for notability in my opinion. Traumnovelle (talk) 07:35, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Traumnovelle did you happen to look at the Telegraph source I linked in my !vote? It’s comparable to the Evening Post as SIGCOV in my view. Dclemens1971 (talk) 10:20, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I see it now, but I don't think it's sufficiently independent here: 'The annual event, for which The Telegraph is a media partner'. Traumnovelle (talk) 10:23, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Dagnabbit, didn’t see that on my first read. Switching my !vote now. Dclemens1971 (talk) 10:31, 2 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

*Week keep. The Yorkshire Evening Post and Daily Telegraph profiles bring it just over the line of WP:SIGCOV in secondary, independent, reliable sources for a WP:GNG pass. I would oppose a redirect; I think the Nyasa Times may be less notable than its founder. Dclemens1971 (talk) 21:40, 25 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Still no consensus. I'd like to close this as a Redirect but there is strong opposition to that outcome.

• Delete. The Telegraph source I linked in my struck !vote above is insufficiently independent, which leaves a single instance of SIGCOV. I cannot find evidence of the Nyasa Times’ notability and may bring that page to AfD in the near future, but if others wish to redirect there for now, I won’t oppose it.

• Weak Keep Subject of the article has enough WP:SIGCOV to barely establish notability [1] [2] Silvymaro (talk) 14:48, 3 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I thought so too at first, but see the discussion above about the lack of independence in the Telegraph piece. Dclemens1971 (talk) 12:47, 5 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
