Non-notable actor lacking Ghits and GNEWS of substance. Appears to fails WP:BIO. Of the references included most are just listings and others are interviews (primary reference). I do not see non-trivial coverage. Primarily a promotional piece. reddogsix (talk) 15:55, 23 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - New York Times articles are textbook definitions of trivial coverage - merely mentioning the name once or twice and not having any relevance to the article as a whole. Other references fail WP:RS rules. Awards cited are not notable. There's no reason to keep this. DreamGuy (talk) 21:21, 24 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, KTC (talk) 00:49, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete As per WP: GNG. Although the NY Times is reliable, it is just routine, trivial coverage, and therefore, it fails WP: GNG Electriccatfish2 (talk) 01:46, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• DO NOT DELETE * Wikipedia needs to recognize Nollywood and the 3rd largest movie industry, and it's players. I am not only recognized player in this industry I am directly referenced in other Wikii pages. Not sure why my page is particularly selected for deletion.    I need to understand what needs to be done so my page will cease to be singled out. As this is the second time it has been deleted. The first time back in 2004, I felt was justified. I don't think it is this time. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chetanekwe (talk • contribs) 21:31, 1 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this article nominated for deletion? Simply put the article fails to establish notability per WP:BIO. By any chance, as the subject of the article do you think there might be a bit of bias in you opinion? reddogsix (talk) 02:25, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment, Please see WP:BIAS. Although some links are not strong, Chet is a Valuable player in the Nollywood Market. Editors should find ways to better the article to make it suitable for inclusion before defering to deletion as a first option. Please be sensitive to the demographic as African Media does not get the same coverage as other Media and this is a rising new frontier that should be judged differently from other criteria.

The article you cite is an opinion that may or may not represent the widespread norm. No one has opted to delete this article without asking for it to be improved, that is the purpose of the AfD - to gather justification by improving the article to meet Wikipedia based criteria. It is the author's responsibility to provide this foundation based on adequate references and by meeting Wikipedia critera for inclusion. reddogsix (talk) 02:34, 2 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep - There is sufficient reliable links e.g. Golden Icon, etc., to establish notability. As stated before, it is the general consensus that though interviews may be construed as primary sources, primary sources are also allowed provided they are non-controversial facts. Further, the subject must have been considered notable enough to be interviewed.Tamsier (talk) 00:16, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - subject of the BLP article has fulfilled Wikipedia's Basic Notability Criteria. He has been the subject of multiple published secondary sources which are reliable, intellectually independent of each other, and independent of the subject. A couple of major Nigerian daily newspapers have reported directly on Anekwe. Furthermore, Anekwe received a African Movie Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Leading Role at the 2012 AMAA awards.^{[1][2][3][4][5]} Amsaim (talk) 17:51, 4 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
