Please bear these points in mind while editing Wikipedia:

Respect copyrights – do not copy and paste text or images directly from other websites.
Maintain a neutral point of view – this is one of Wikipedia's core policies.
Take particular care while adding biographical material about a living person to any Wikipedia page and follow Wikipedia's Biography of Living Persons policy. Particularly, controversial and negative statements should be referenced with multiple reliable sources.
No edit warring or abuse of multiple accounts.
If you are testing, please use the Sandbox to do so.
Do not add troublesome content to any article, such as: copyrighted text, libel, advertising or promotional messages, and text that is not related to an article's subject; doing so will result in your account or IP being blocked from editing.
Do not use talk pages as discussion or forum pages as Wikipedia is not a forum.

The Wikipedia tutorial is a good place to start learning about Wikipedia. If you have any questions, see the help pages, add a question to the village pump or ask me on my talk page. By the way, you can sign your name on Talk and discussion pages using four tildes, like this: ~~~~ (the software will replace them with your signature and the date). Again, welcome!

Hello. Your recent edit to List of pastors in Nigeria appears to have added the name of a non-notable entity to a list that normally includes only notable entries. In general, a person, organization or product added to a list should have a pre-existing article before being added to most lists. If you wish to create such an article, please first confirm that the subject qualifies for a separate, stand-alone article according to Wikipedia's notability guideline. Thank you.

Revd Olubunmi Adeleye Thomas JP is a notable clergy of the Cherubim and Seraphim church.

His name can even be verified on Google and even in the official website of the Oyo State Government under wwww.oyostate.gov.ng check under notable Oyo State indigene.

I will make additional post to compliment his status.

Thank you for your observation sir. Apaara (talk) 17:08, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Existence does not equal notability. A person must meet Wikipedia's notability criteria for people to merit inclusion. --Drm310 🍁 (talk) 17:21, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Yes sir, he is popular with wide range of followers.

He is renowned for his religious propagations and social apostolate activism.

An account of him can be well verified on net by his full names.

Some even refer to him as human right pastor for his activism.

I will be glad if you would make wide findings about him and not just wish his person away. Apaara (talk) 17:31, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Apaara. The nature of your edits gives the impression you have an undisclosed financial stake in promoting a topic, but you have not complied with Wikipedia's mandatory paid editing disclosure requirements. Paid advocacy is a category of conflict of interest (COI) editing that involves being compensated by a person, group, company or organization to use Wikipedia to promote their interests. Undisclosed paid advocacy is prohibited by our policies on neutral point of view and what Wikipedia is not, and is an especially serious type of COI; the Wikimedia Foundation regards it as a "black hat" practice akin to black-hat search-engine optimization.

Paid advocates are very strongly discouraged from direct article editing, and should instead propose changes on the talk page of the article in question if an article exists. If the article does not exist, paid advocates are extremely strongly discouraged from attempting to write an article at all. At best, any proposed article creation should be submitted through the articles for creation process, rather than directly.

Regardless, if you are receiving or expect to receive compensation for your edits, broadly construed, you are required by the Wikimedia Terms of Use to disclose your employer, client and affiliation. You can post such a mandatory disclosure to your user page at User:Apaara. The template {{Paid}} can be used for this purpose – e.g. in the form: {{paid|user=Apaara|employer=InsertName|client=InsertName}}. If I am mistaken – you are not being directly or indirectly compensated for your edits – please state that in response to this message. Otherwise, please provide the required disclosure. In either case, do not edit further until you answer this message.

Please stop. If you continue to vandalize Wikipedia, as you did at List of Nigerians, you may be blocked from editing.
It was clearly explained, above, that you should not add people to lists, unless they already have their own article on the English Wikipedia, but you have continued doing so. Please stop - Arjayay (talk) 19:07, 21 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Apaara, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia, such as Alamu2022 (talk · contribs). Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. Thank you. Drm310 🍁 (talk) 06:22, 22 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
