- Delete - no evidence of any notability. Agree with nominator. If we had an article for every allegedly corrupt politician, we would be overwhelmed. Fails WP:GNG Velella Velella Talk 22:35, 12 August 2018 (UTC)
- Keep-references do not all point to a single event of corruption. They are spread out in the various times he occupied the position which gives him Wikipedia notability status.And again he is not a politician. Disagree with nominator Ataavi —Preceding undated comment added 08:05, 13 August 2018 (UTC)
Speedy Keep- Per WP:SIGCOV ,Article content does not determine notability and therefore the nominator's argument that it leads to a one time indictment event and will make the namesake of the article not meet Wikipedia notability is wrong.Notability requires verifiable evidence and all references sited for the article Amadu Sulley,mostly put out Amadu Sulley as the subject of the article and not some pass-by mention hence proving his notability to attract news and press coverage. Per WP:GNG Admitted the article may have been created during the time his alleged misdoings where public talk,this does not go against any standards.The article is a stub and will be expanded with reliable material and hence from wiki policy must be protected. I support a keep for this African article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ataavi ( talk • contribs) 12:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)- Comment: I struck the second !vote, we only get to "cast" one, but feel free to make comments.

- Comment. WP:POLOUTCOMES says: "Sub-cabinet officials (assistant secretary, commissioner, etc.) are usually considered notable, especially if they have had otherwise notable careers." If the head of the election commission is considered the equivalent of a cabinet position, then perhaps the deputy chairperson passes a sub-cabinet official. I realize that the chair of the election commission is not actually in the cabinet, in part because they are probably supposed to be neutral, but countries often have officials who report to the national parliament such as an Auditor General or the chief elections official who have positions that are arguably equivalent to a cabinet minister.

- Comment:I believe silence from the other side asking for deletion , means the grounds of the argument for keep for this Ghanaian-related article stub is strong,and thereby the argument for keep should be upheld. Ataavi. (talk)13:32,2ndSeptember,2018.
- Comment - that would be an erroneous conclusion. There is nothing here that has cast the slightest doubt on my assessment.

- Comment- Its a fair and good conclusion, an article on an important public official in a country with a notable career.Passes WP:GNG.Remember article content is not sufficient to make judgement on notability.The article is a stub. References helps in this case. Moreover,the article is well linked to other Wikipedia pages. My past contributions show that I do offer services to wikipedia pages of Ghanaian concern.I vouch for the subject matter's notability.
