Insufficient significant coverage in independent, reliable sources to pass GNG. Fails the criteria at NACTOR. If notability is established, a total rewrite is also needed because it reads like an advert. SITH (talk) 17:08, 14 January 2019 (UTC)

- Delete These sources don’t provide notability as an actor. Trillfendi ( talk) 16:09, 28 January 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. If the above sources aren't sufficient, here's a biographical article about him in a Ghanaian film media magazine. I'll admit, I got lucky on this one, because very little regional print media shows up in online searches. Regardless, he was a significant actor in Ghanaian and Nigerian media during his life, and his death attracted considerable media attention. The article is in pretty bad shape, but AFD isn't cleanup. Squeamish Ossifrage ( talk) 17:19, 4 February 2019 (UTC)
- Keep as a pass of WP:GNG or a verifiable pass of WP:NACTOR#1, though only one of those is necessary. Subject was starring in a popular soap opera at the time of his death, so no surprise that the coverage of that dominates, but you can also find some old Graphic coverage here and there. The article could use some work, but so could Wikipedia's coverage of African subjects generally, and deletion is not a solution to either of those issues.
