Asserts no notability, reads like a promotion, at least two sources ( vangaurdgr.com and dailypostng ) appear to be tabloids with vanguardgr.com showing no editorial board whatsoever. Necromonger... We keep what we kill 15:12, 11 October 2019 (UTC)

- Delete. Google search results of him doesn't show him being discussed in reliable sources independent of him. The sources cited in the article are primary sources. @ Wekeepwhatwekill: Contrary to what you think, Vanguard is not a tabloid source. It is one of Nigeria's biggest newspapers.

- Keep as has coverage in reliable sources such as The Vanguard and Daily Post and the precedent is that Wikioedia normally includes Bishops of major denominations and this domination has bases in 65 countries, imv Atlantic306 ( talk) 16:51, 12 October 2019 (UTC)
- Weak Keep: I am of the opinion that all founders of major churches with more than 10k followership and multiple branch locations, is a strong claim of notability, however that is not exactly the case here, Abioye is not the founder of Winners Chapel. However being one of only 3 bishops in the second largest pentecostal church in Nigeria seem like an equal (maybe higher) office to Anglican/Catholic bishops. The fact that newspaper sources also exist covering him make me move from neutral to weak keep. If there was an article on Goshen City (the Christian community where the Abuja church is located) I would have suggested a redirect to it. HandsomeBoy ( talk) 11:12, 14 October 2019 (UTC)
