* '''Delete''' I've just done a deep dive into this. The [[President's Volunteer Service Award]] has various grades, and is given to numerous people every year, and is not generally notable. Only at the highest level, people receiving the the [[President's Call to Service Award]] (also called the "President's Lifetime Achievement Award"), may be notable for receiving the award. But even that is doubtful, as recipients are usually notable already in their own right. In any case, it's pretty clear that Martina Ononiwu did not receive the [[President's Call to Service Award]], as there are no US-based notable sources testifying to this. A search for the name "Martina Ononiwu" is the news sources yields nothing except Nigerian news sources stating that she was given the President's Lifetime Achievement Award. It is highly unlikely that a person would be honored with the President's Lifetime Achievement Award, without leaving any sort of trace in the news sources.

*:The [[President's Volunteer Service Award]] is notable. If it is not, it won't have a page in Wikipedia. Very clear. [[User:Royalrumblebee|Royalrumblebee]] ([[User talk:Royalrumblebee|talk]]) 19:41, 18 December 2024 (UTC) |

* '''Delete''' : The article fails to meet Wikipedia's General Notability Guideline [[WP:GNG]] as it solely focuses on a single event without providing significant coverage of the topic. The subject's notability is questionable, given the award by the United States, despite being based in France with Nigerian origins. There is no international media coverage, with most coverage coming from Nigerian local and national dailies. This lack of international coverage and reliance on local publications gives the impression that the article may be sponsored or promotional in nature, further undermining its notability.[[User:Royalesignature|Royalesignature]] ([[User talk:Royalesignature|talk]]). 17:04, 18 December 2024 (UTC) |

This article is largely based on 4 sources about her being "awarded the US Presidential Lifetime Achievers Award (Presidential Volunteer Service Award) (PVSA) by American President Joe Biden." This is apparently only reported in Nigerian sources, not in any official source, and she isn't listed on the official list[1]. The award is apparently only intended for "U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents", so not for a Nigerian in France. If the sources have this basic fact, the premisse for the articles, wrong, then they aren't reliable sources to start with but just repeating something spoonfed by the subject or someone trying to promote them.

- There are many notable people already in Wikipedia who have little or no foreign press mentioning them, but are very well covered in reliable sources in their home countries, especially movie actors and actresses. See Indian actors etc. So this argument is not very strong. GNG mentions national publications as notable, especially if these sources have pages themselves in Wikipedia, such as Vanguard (Nigeria),The Nation (Nigeria), and The Guardian (Nigeria), all in which Martina Ononiwu was significantly covered. I rather think the nomination for deletion is too hasty and I think it should have been an article placed for redrafting as I am already seeing more sources that are reliable.

- Delete as this [[2]] does not list her, nor this [[3]], so this at least appears to be false. Slatersteven (talk) 17:37, 18 December 2024 (UTC)
