Speedy delete: as WP:A7; I already tagged. Delete: We do not curate articles on people who blatantly fail WP:ANYBIO or WP:GNG. Not with dubious advertorials listed as sources. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:51, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Vanguard News reported on Alade's involvement in the Black Excellence Project, emphasizing his contributions to empowering young black individuals in the field of architecture. [2]

2. Independent and Reputable Sources: The coverage comes from established and reputable news outlets, ensuring the information is both reliable and independent of the subject.

3. Impact and Recognition: Alade's initiatives, such as founding Afrobeatsglobal and Uncut Xtra Magazine, have been instrumental in promoting African music and culture, providing platforms for emerging artists. [3]

His participation in the Black Excellence Project showcases his commitment to mentoring and developing young talents in architecture and related fields. [4]

4. Professional Achievements: As an architect, Alade has contributed to notable projects, including the Eblana project in Dublin and the Abbey Street Project, demonstrating his professional expertise. [5]

Appeal Against Speedy Deletion Nomination: I respectfully request reconsideration of the deletion nomination for the Emmanuel Alade article. Multiple reputable sources, including ThisDay, BusinessDay, The Independent, and The Guardian Nigeria, have provided significant and independent coverage of his contributions to entertainment and African cultural promotion. These sources demonstrate his notability, aligning with Wikipedia’s General Notability Guideline (GNG). I believe this article adds value to Wikipedia’s mission of sharing knowledge and kindly urge the reviewing editor to allow further improvements rather than deletion. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Waleayanda (talk • contribs) 10:44, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: The sources are blatant promotional pieces with mostly hidden bylines. @Waleayanda, please stop making AI-generated responses. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 11:09, 15 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - much of this page just repeats itself. The personal section is unreferenced. What is referenced in the reduplicated sections are the same two unreliable sources. It's just a wall of text saying the same things over again. If the subject was actually notable, then this would not be necessary. I taught for two decades, and I've read this type of essay before. Substance is missing: the subject is run of the mill. Bearian (talk) 20:56, 17 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
