Many of the references mentioned seem to have only passing mentions and one is a lecture by the person. I cannot verify claims made in the article, either. It might fail WP:GNG and WP:BIO, as well. JML1148 (talk) 10:07, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Kenya. JML1148 (talk) 10:07, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

New Pages Feed notes that the article has already been deleted, and a draft, found at Draft:Alexander Cuthbert Kuma, was declined. It appears that the article is a carbon copy of the failed draft. JML1148 (talk) 10:10, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The references listed provide further information about person in the article. These are credible sources from reputable publications. The article can always be improved. Skuma81 (talk) 16:50, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

One source is a lecture by A.C. Kuma, which is not independent of the subject, see WP:IS. The others, as far as I can tell on Google Books, appear to be only passing mentions, see WP:GNG. JML1148 (talk) 22:35, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think that much of the article can be verified from the references that you have provided, either. References also need to be inline citations, which are not provided. JML1148 (talk) 22:41, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The references provided substantiates the article about the person, as it relates to his education, career, etc. Please peruse all the refences provided. Skuma81 (talk) 16:27, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Draftify - No inline references, obviously written as publicity. Robert McClenon (talk) 23:00, 20 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or draftify - This page should either be moved to a draft, or should be deleted, in my opinion. There are no inline citations. If it's notable enough, i think it should be draftified. Suasufzeb (talk) 09:36, 21 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I don't know if A.C. Kuma would meet GNG. Some statements that would make him notable, such as being a director for the Bank of Ghana and a board member of numerous companies, are not supported by the sources listed. It's hard to verify anything without inline citations, as I don't know what I'm looking for! JML1148 (talk) 07:13, 22 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per above reasoning. This is a copy-paste of a declined draft. If it can't pass AfC under another name, I don't see why it should be kept in article space. I am not a proponent of draftification in this case, either, since this would create two parallel equivalent articles in draft space which could lead to problems.
