Does not meet WP:notability criteria and also large sections of the article remain unreferenced. I feel this article has quite an impartial and informal tone, as it was likely written by someone close to the the person this article is about or by the person this article is about Theprussian (talk) 10:38, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Leading Ghanaian news sources and Google books indicates notability. The article needs work but so do most.♦ Dr. Blofeld 10:47, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article does need more work as the previous commentator points out, so many African articles do though we don't have the same access to published and digital sources that Western countries have. We need to stop applying Western notability to African articles. Yes controversial. Just because he doesn't share the notoriety of similar Western doctors, he clearly is a doctor well thought of in his field in Western Africa and his own country. A simple search in medical journals clearly shows he is well published. Will try and improved the article as I think his devotion to his field deserves a permanent mention.Conlinp (talk) 14:49, 18 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

- I have to disagree with your pleading for special notability guidelines for some continents. It is a horrible idea. A central principal of Wikipedia is verifiability. However, speacial pleading is not needed here. Ofori-Adjei seems to pass Academic notability criteria 8 as far as I can tell.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:56, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep While I would like to see more sources, I am sure that being editor-in-chief of the Ghana Medical Journal is enough to pass academic notability. He may well pass other ways as well.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:53, 21 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
