No indication of notability per WP:GNG or WP:BIO. I found about 40 results in a Google search, mostly social media and things that he's written. Also a conflict of interest issue arises since he wrote an article about another entrepreneur and she wrote this article about him. ... discospinster talk 14:22, 18 June 2021 (UTC)

The subject Daniel Maithya has been widely covered by several reliable and globaly recognised news websites and media houses. I don't see why it should be deleted. I think the article should remain published. Shatimpya ( talk) 18:18, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
I find that this article has several contributors who have widely contributed to the article which is a good thing. I don't see why an article with several contributors who believe this person is notable should be deleted. AfrikanTraveler ( talk) 18:06, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
A google and youtube search shows a wide coverage of the subject by media houses and blogs with over 100 search results. LucyChegeM ( talk) 18:57, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Then show your work. Link the best sources you can find on that Google search that (1) discuss him at length, (2) have have strong editorial oversight that fact-checks, retracts, and discloses, and (3) has no connexion to him or his surrogates. Merely saying there's 100 hits on Google/YouTube is meaningless. — A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 20:02, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
- Delete. AfrikanTraveler, LucyChegeM, and Shatimpya have had 24 hours, so I'll judge the article based on what potential sources are already there, and it frankly does not look promising in the least. None of the actual articles there are usable as sources; the closest is this Nairobi News piece which is more about KenyaChat and doesn't say anything about Maithya that he doesn't say himself. BEFORE returns nothing usable, either (string: "daniel maithya"). — A little blue Bori v^_^v Jéské Couriano 21:07, 20 June 2021 (UTC)
