The available sources are interviews, announcement containing trivial mentions, primary sources closely related to the subject and the two sources from Forbes are not reliable. Mekomo (talk) 16:26, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People, Businesspeople, and Nigeria. Mekomo (talk) 16:26, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep: He is a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts and was recognized in the Forbes 40 Under 40 amongst other recognition. While they cannot ensure notability independently, if they're combined, the subject passes WP:BASIC as it has received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable and independent.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Delete: does not appear to have sufficient secondary sourcing to pass WP:SIGCOV. m a MANÍ^{1990(talk | contribs)} 00:41, 7 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Delete Nothing in the article or elsewhere amounts to significant independent coverage. Becoming a fellow of the Royal Society of Arts is very easy - there are 1000s of them, you get one to nominate you and then pay an annual fee. As for this "the Forty under 40 Awards" it is nothing to do with Forbes, simply another vanity award and Idaminabo's name is not even on the long list of "winners". Delete and salt.

• Delete as not even having a claim to notability. As noted above by others, all of the awards he's gotten are run of the mill, such as one fellowship held by 30,000 other people. If they described why he received the awards (for example, organizing volunteers to recycle goods for charity, feeding stray animals, educating children, etc.) then at least we could understand why he's getting awards beyond logrolling or a participation trophy. Finally, as a candidate, that's not enough for WP:NPOL. Bearian (talk) 14:54, 8 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
