This is a puff piece for a non-notable person, whose sources vary between primary and unreliable. Look at this--if The Nation is reliable in the first place, maybe--but this is a highly promotional interview. This--well it starts with "David Lanre Messan, by the insignia (DLM) is a serial entrepreneur, idea strategist and multiple award winning global leader." That's not journalism, that's puffery, and these are the best sources. The man was CEO of the year? Well, according to CEO Review, a website owned by a marketing team. No, not notable, unless skydiving supports that claim. Drmies (talk) 20:05, 28 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. While The Nation source seems likely reliable, it's almost entirely attributed to the subject, and indeed it seems to be the best source. This article itself is basically written as a professional profile, WP:NOTLINKEDIN. —siro χ o 03:14, 29 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
