I'm not convinced that the subject satisfies WP:BASIC or WP:ANYBIO. The sources cited are short pieces from minor news outlets and at least one of them (the first) is a press release as opposed to an independent article. A total of 105 results on Google, most of which seem to be duplicative press releases, blogs, directories and social media. There is also no indication that the subject's company is notable.

  • Keep – Subject has won awards [1] [2], [3], [4] and it's clear to me that these awards are notable enough to meet WP:ANYBIO. In my opinion I feel like Wikipedia is already far too ethnocentric, discounting award nominees from non-Anglophonic countries. Furthermore the subject also "holds the National Honor of the Officer of the Order of the Niger (OON)" [5], Vanguard Nigeria is an independent source.

    Were awards such as BEFFTA Awards truly notable Wikipedia would probably have articles on them. And I don't see how being an OON establishes notability – the vanguardngr.com page lists 65 OONs for 2013-14, the majority of whom are unlikely to satisfy the notability guidelines here. And while vanguardngr.com is an independent source, the page cited does not provide significant coverage of the subject. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 18:23, 22 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
BEFFTA awards are listed on multiple pages of notable musicians, entrepreneurs, companies etc here on Wikipedia See here and the subject has received an Asian Voice Charity Award, Charity Charity being the technical partner of Asian Voice Charity Awards. WP:ANYBIO is met. Dileshwar Singh Patil (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 10:23, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Please explain how the awards mentioned in the article are "well-known and significant" as per WP:ANYBIO. That BEFFTA is mentioned in other articles does not necessarily make it "well-known and significant". Again, the lack of articles for any of these awards would seem indicative of their lack of notability. SuperMarioMan (Talk) 15:20, 24 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
The BEFFTA are mentioned in reliable sources [6], [7] and other multiple reliable sources which can be found upon a Google search. Asian Voice is the host of the Asian Voice Charity Awards Stated here and them being mentioned here, here...again more sources can be found upon a Google search. Charity Clarity is the technical partner of Asian Voice Charity Awards Stated here. Dileshwar Singh Patil (talk)
