| Submission declined on 18 April 2017 by Joe Decker (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia. Declined by Joe Decker 7 years ago. | |
Comment: Onanuga may be notable, but we require multiple, reliable, arm's length sources to provide evidence of it as described above. Please note that Wikipedia can not be used as a source for itself, similarly self-published sources such as LinkedIn profiles. joe deckertalk 18:05, 18 April 2017 (UTC)
