Comment: Coupled with the poor sources I mentioned earlier, an article for Frimpong is currently WP:TOOSOON. But have it in mind that this is a promising draft. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 10:56, 17 August 2024 (UTC)
- Comment: This does not pass WP:GNG. Sources like GhanaWeb, GhPage, Citinewsroom, Graphic Online, etc., are unreliable sources. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 07:09, 24 March 2024 (UTC)
