Declined PROD. No indication of notability. Most of the sources cited in the article are either to his own blog, or articles about other people he is associated with that mention him in passing. The two exceptions are these regurgitated press releases [1][2], which are far from significant coverage. I haven't been able to find any additional sources that would amount to a pass of the WP:GNG. – Joe (talk) 11:13, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete and salt. This page has been killed once through speedy deletion, once through Prod, and as the nominator describes above, deserves deletion again. --Nat Gertler (talk) 16:40, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. This article is of a notable person event promoter in Ghana. As said earlier on, the article is being written and edits, citings are ongoing. Please don't bite :) Kwamevaughan (talk) 17:29, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

@Kwamevaughan: Notability is a property of the subject rather than article itself, so no amount of editing will make him notable. That's why I find it better (less bitey) to settle the matter quickly – rather than have you waste your time on something that isn't a viable encyclopaedic subject. If Assah is notable then we can keep the article, but you will have to show that he has been written about in detail (not just passing mentions) by multiple reliable sources that have no connection to him. I haven't been able to find any evidence of that.

I am struck by the coincidence that you've decided to write this article just weeks after Assah himself apparently tried and failed to do so. Do you have a conflict of interest in relation to this article? – Joe (talk) 19:58, 21 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete articles need to be based on reliable sources about the subject, which we lack here.John Pack Lambert (talk) 00:37, 22 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete -- exclusively a WP:PROMO article on a subject of questionable notability, who is presented as "significant" promoter. Does not meet WP:ANYBIO; the awards are not significant and well known. Has all appearances of being a undisclosed paid work; the article's history indicates that it was started as "AfC" but then the creator moved it into mainspace themselves: [3]. Their vote at this discussion is not convincing. K.e.coffman (talk) 05:15, 23 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
