non-notable doctor. Fails the guidelines on MEDIC, GNG, and any other one you want to follow. Claim to fame is that an obscure competition selected him to fly to space in 2015, there is no evidence that he actually went to space, nor is there any RS that shows that this competition is notable enough to confer notability on its winners.

Delete - I agree, why do people make an article on any doctor they see? There's just no point. JTZegers (talk) 13:42, 13 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. The subject lacks in-depth coverage in reliable secondary sources. Being a non-notable medical doctor who might be traveling to space isn't a valid ground for keep. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 18:40, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: Subject of the article clearly meet WP:BASIC. He had been significantly discussed in multiple independent reliable sources, enough to meet our inclusion criteria. Ptinphusmia (talk) 19:56, 15 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep: The subject clearly meet WP:GNG, WP:BASIC and #1 of WP:ANYBIO as recipient of Sierra Leone Presidential Meritorious Service Award of honor. Contrary to the claim by the nominator that the subject " Fails the guidelines on MEDIC", WP:MEDIC is not a notability guideline but a disclaimer that "Wikipedia does not give medical advice. This looks like an abusive nomination in violation of WP:BEFORE. The subject of the article has been significantly covered by multiple independent reliable secondary sources. The Wired UK, The Guardian, Bussinessday, Vanguard Newspaper, Quartz Africa, ATQ News to mention a few. The subject is also the founder of Nigeria’s first and biggest independent real estate network marketing firm and has been named a One Young World Ambassador. The "space travel" is a tiny part of his biography and almost insignificant to the subject's notability. Kaizenify (talk) 13:50, 17 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete — Per Versace1608, MistyGraceWhite & Johnpacklambert. Subject of article doesn’t satisfy GNG notability criteria for inclusion at best this is bare notability & nothing more.Celestina007 (talk) 04:33, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This article meets WP:BASIC even if he doesn't meet the criteria for doctor. He is a recipient of a national award from the President of Sierra Leone as well as a recipient of 2014 TIME magazine award. Isn't that enough? He has been discussed to a significant extent in multiple independent enough to meet our inclusion criteria. SuperSwift (talk) 15:15, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@User:SuperSwift If such is your claim then you need a source that says he won 2014 TIME magazine award. All reliable sources, including Time say that the award in 2014 was given to "Ebola Fighters" a class of unnamed people. Ebola fighters are the hundreds of health workers who fough the Ebola epidemic. You say that he won the Presidential Award (Sierra Leone) in 2014, but this list says that he did not win anything. The article is based on hoaxes. MistyGraceWhite (talk) 22:09, 22 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
