Failing WP:GNG on the basis of lacking substantive coverage in reliable, independent sources. Most of the material is primary (authored by the subject) or based on reports by the subject without apparent editorial verification. As a side note, this has a long history of deletions, e.g. Comradephils or Philsville by various authors. _pseudonym Jake Brockman ^talk 12:11, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Clearly not notable, fails WP:GNG. Hughesdarren (talk) 12:16, 11 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Citing instances of previous deletion as points is out of place. We should centre on the notability and reliable sources angle. One of the newspapers that carried his news is notable for reporting issues related to corruption. The final call is on the community to decide. Uche2018 (talk) 16:40, 12 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@Uche2018: Please can you go through WP:notability (people). and let me know where Comrade Phils falls into so that I can assist in evaluating his SNG, for now I'm thinking WP:POLITICIAN, but he doesn't satisfy the requirement enough to me.HandsomeBoy (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: I'm sure Comrade Phils has good intention for the Nigerian populace, but article retainment is based on notability guidelines, its not Wikipedia's job to promote/publicize individuals fighting corruption.HandsomeBoy (talk) 12:15, 18 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
