Subject does not meet WP:GNG. Sourced to sponsored posts. Princess of Ara 04:40, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Businesspeople, Finance, Technology, and Nigeria. Princess of Ara 04:40, 11 May 2022 (UTC)
- Hi @ Princess of Ara: I believe that this page should not be deleted because it has significant coverage that satisfies WP:GNG. Unfortunately, I haven't been able to work on the article as extensively as I'd like to; to prove it's qualification. I'd be glad if allowed more time to work on it and if the article is left to remain on the main wiki space for as long as it's being improved (and with a new tag that governs this new stance). The article is less than 24 hours old and as we know "many good articles start their Wiki life in pretty bad shape". I believe a talk page message outlining some improvements or a WP:TC tag is more appropriate than a deletion proposal. Please let me know if there are any specific guidelines that you'd like to see me improve upon in the upcoming days. Thank you for your help. Regards. Newliving ( talk) 06:22, 11 May 2022 (UTC)

The sources that featured press releases or non-independent sources have been removed; thanks to the information left in some of these votes from more veteran editors. I welcome any improvement to the article and await a decision. Regards. Newliving ( talk) 15:19, 13 May 2022 (UTC)[[#ref_{{{1}}}|^]] This is the page creator.

- Keep A simple Google search reveals notability. Deletion votes that base their argument on the amount of sources that an article currently has are logically irrelevant; the next day it could have five sources, then the day after that seven. Research is still being done and sources are still being added; help appreciated via talk page. Newliving ( talk) 14:28, 19 May 2022 (UTC)

- Delete Sourcing is too weak for a living subject trying to make money. Newliving should be submitting sandbox entries to WP:AFC, not pushing them into main namespace. Is there an undeclared paid editing issue? Chris Troutman ( talk) 01:33, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
- Significant coverage addresses the topic directly and in detail. Significant coverage is more than a trivial mention, but it does not need to be the main topic of the source material. The sources all display significant coverage. Newliving ( talk) 19:24, 21 May 2022 (UTC)
