Dear nominator, you nominated this page in just 2 to 3 minutes, after I published. I am requesting you, please check references again and reconsider nomination.--Lazomia (talk) 23:36, 7 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep. There are plenty of external references. Rathfelder (talk) 14:48, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I looked at every source to check if Olatise Olalekan was notable.

The Guardian News Nigeria source(1) is a dead link.
I am pretty sure the article from the New Telegraph(13) is also a dead link.
Daily Post Nigeria is listed as "sponsored" at the very top(3), which is a COI and does not indicate notability. Olatise Olalekan is on the board of Venite University, and any notability gained from the article written by that university(4) is also a COI.
In Emporium Reporters,(5) Punch newspaper,(6), The Independent Newspaper(7), National Accord(8), Next Edition(9), the News Agency of Nigeria(11), The Authority(14), Leadership(15), Vanguard(16), the article does not indicate notability of Olalekan, and only quotes him. Since Olalekan is in a high position in Zenith clinic, it would make sense that journalists that make articles about Zenith clinic would interview someone like him. However, this does not indicate notability, and adding every instance in which he appears online does not make him notable.
Everything from Olatise Olalekan#Early life and education is sourced by an article(12) that is about a person with a similar name.
The article states that Olalekan got several awards in his career. The sources that are given(17)(18) are 2 websites that say he won the "Physician of the Year (private sector)" award in 2021. This is not "several awards", and this award does not indicate notability.
The only actual reliable sources that indicate notability are This Day Live(2) and The Nation(10), which both talk about one thing that he said in Oman during a nephrologist conference. And besides the typos and dubious grammar in the latter article, and the fact that the former article is listed as "home and design", these indicate only one thing that he is notable for, qualifying him for WP:BLP1E. In any case, I would not consider two sources to be "significant coverage". MrMeAndMrMe_Talk 19:56, 8 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Dead links of ref 1 and 2 are fixed now. No.3 should be removed, so removed. Ref 4 is signed by "Directorate of Corporate Communications and Public Relations". I think man on high position are notable like CEO of banks, I.T. companies etc are notable. Ref 12 should be removed so removed. I have tried to fix other issues. Very nice to see you checked things deeply. Lazomia (talk) 00:24, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Passing mentions of his name online does not make him notable. This issue is still true with almost every reference. He is a high ranking individual in a clinic and not much else. If anything, there should be an article about the clinic that he works for.

An article written by Venite University about a board member does not make that member notable. The majority of university board members get into their position by paying lots of money — meaning that there is a conflict of interest and the citation is not reliable. The New Telegraph article is iust regirgitating the Venite University article, which we have already established as not reliable.

Thank you for continuing to edit on simple wikipedia. MrMeAndMrMe_Talk 12:43, 14 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
