Fails WP:GNG or WP:NCREATIVE or whatever WP:SNG that applies. Building the ‘Awka Dubai Estate’ doesn't make the subject presumptively notable. The sources are overly promotional and poor, WP:RUNOFTHEMILL, etc. More information can be found in the source assessment below.

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Businesspeople, and Nigeria. --Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:59, 12 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Anambra people magazine is like every other state outlet like Uhuru Times or New York Post which is published in a state. Also, The Top10 Magazine is eligible like all other Nigerian business magazine as most reliable newspapers pick from their Top 10 list yearly. Vanguard (ref 1), TheCable (ref 2), and so on. The Magazine is published in Lagos and features only business personnel, who have contributed to ~~the~~ Nigeria by creating job opportunities. Afí-afeti (talk) 07:11, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Afí-afeti A magazine without editorial oversight cannot be considered a reliable one. The two outlets you mentioned both have and can't be used to compare this particular magazine. The piece you cited from top 10 magazine, is not only overly promotional but very likely a content that was influenced by the subject, even though it is clear that it doesn't really provide significant coverage of him directly. I also do not see how a magazine of such calibre you described will not have a viable editorial policy. I am not going to comment on [1] and [2] because it does not apply to this discussion or Chukwudi. I do assessment of sources mostly individually because a generally reliable publication can publish a nonsense, unreliable piece that is not suitable for use on Wikipedia.

Delete: I agree with most of the source table above. Puffy descriptions about a young person, with no substance for most of them. The "35 most notable list" and the CEO award mean nothing for notability here, and the rest seems PR-ish. I'm almost certain we just saw this at AfD...

Keep: I agree he doesn't meet WP:GNG on the scale of 60%/100%, but he meets one of the citations which lacks a byline and I believe it's Vanguard Nigeria issue. I have checked other of their publications, but author names are not clickable, and there is no back-link to look at other articles written by them for example check this out: 1, 2, and the third link was gotten from the editorial column 3 which has no byline but it on the editorial section. As per WP:ARCHITECT he meets one of the criteria, looking at "Awka Dubai Estate" a major real-estate project in Anambra state, which was allocated and commissioned by Bonaventure Enemali.--Afí-afeti (talk) 12:22, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Just for clarification, TurnTable, and BellaNaija don't give credit (byline always named after these platforms, checkout all TurnTable news, all written by TurnTable even if it was pitched by another author zero credit, likewise BellaNaija). TurnTable only post a byline credited to the writer when it comes to its Magazine column and BellaNaija does likewise when it comes to Career column which was last seen on its website 2 or 4 years ago Ivie Afí-afeti (talk) 12:32, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
