Sourcing

edit

This article was moved to draft for being "undersourced". This is not the best sourced article that I have ever seen. But I think that it has sufficient sourcing that it would survive at an AfD, which is the standard for an AfC approval. Specifically:

  • news-af.feednews.com's "Meet Social Media Strategist, Tiwalola Olanubi" has several paragraphs about Olanubi and seems to be an independent source, although it is hard to be sure, it could be based on a press release.
  • The Nigerian Pilot article is not linked to, but seems to be about Olanubi winning a significant award.
  • The BellaNaija article has more marketing Buzz-speak than I like, but devotes six (short) paragraphs to Olanubi , and I think must count as significant coverage
  • The article "Three Individuals Reshaping The Future" from Guardfian Nigeria is not really in-depth coverage, but is more than a passing mention. I would count as 1/2 of a solid source for notability purposes. Saying that his company is ... arguably the foremost social media marketing company in Nigeria. is not trivial.
  • The article "Disrupting the future" from Guardian Nigeria devotes 9 paragraphs to Olanubi . This is significant coverage by an independent and reliable source, IMO.
  • The Business Day NG article "DottsMediaHouse CEO bags Future Awards nomination" devotes 5 full paragraphs to Olanubi, one of which is a quote. This is the same award the Nigerian Pilot article was apparently about. This describes the award as Recognized by Forbes as the “Most important awards for outstanding young Africans”. which suggests that this is not a trivial award, and contributes to notability. This article also seems to me to be solid coverage.
  • Two other sources are about this same award, but the "12 outstanding youth nominated for Future Awards". article from Vanguard Allure includes four paragraphs devoted to Olanubi, and is IMO significant coverage.
All together I think this would be more than enough to support a Keep view at an AfD, so draftification was neither needed nor warranted. A maintenance tag requesting additional sources might have been justified. But draftication should mean that the alternative is speedy deletion, or at least an AfD where deletion is expected. Neither of these is in my view the case here. Therefore I intend to move this back to mainspace as it stands. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 16:21, 14 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
