Complete COATRACK article trying to make him inherit notability from his organization, which in itself may not be notable enough for Wikipedia. Fails GNG as an individual. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 16:41, 22 May 2020 (UTC)

• Delete a non-notable lawyer.John Pack Lambert (talk) 19:55, 22 May 2020 (UTC)
• Keep before you assume he is not notable, maybe you need to do a google search on him to see his mentions on major media houses in Nigeria. Also he was a major player in the EndSARS campaing in Nigeria alongside Segun Awosanya. This is what Wikipedia says on notability:

"People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject". He has enough media coverage from multiple notable sources. He is notable enough. SuperSwift (talk) 19:42, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

• The nominator was blocked as a sockpuppet, however I am leaving the nomination open because it has some merit. MER-C 17:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
• Keep - passes WP:ANYBIO. And WP:GNG per my research. Decent sources.BabbaQ (talk) 18:10, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
• seriously keep I still don't understand why this is an issue. It passes WP:ANYBIO and also passes WP:GNG. Even in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, he is still working, just that I don't have enough time to add more references, but these references are from reliable independent secondary sources.

Striking out a second keep vote. @SuperSwift: You cannot vote twice in an AFD discussion.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:41, 28 May 2020 (UTC)

• Weak keep per WP:BASIC. The subject founded the notable organization Citizens' Gavel and appears to be a major player in a movement to End SARS.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 14:48, 28 May 2020 (UTC)
• Comment – The nominator has been blocked for suspected "very likely" socking (WP:SOCKSTRIKE). North America¹⁰⁰⁰ 11:27, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
