The subject of this article fails WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. The sources cited in the article are either unreliable or primary. This article looks more like a promotional piece than an encyclopedia article. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:00, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Keep - Obi Cubana, CEO of Cubana Group is a very notable Nigerian, it is quite unfortunate most of the news item on him seem promotional. The press finds interest in his wealth more than personality. In addition, Google has more credible news on him as shown here. Geezygee ( talk) 19:28, 19 March 2020 (UTC) reply
Delete as hopelessly promotional , and borderline notability at best. I see no basis for assuming the Cubana group is even notable, let alone notable enough to let us assume its ceo is notable also. DGG ( talk ) 09:12, 20 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Cubana Group is the owner of all the Cubana Clubs which is known to every Nigerian. They are Nigerians only partner to Martell Geezygee ( talk) 17:07, 20 March 2020 (UTC) reply

@ Geezygee: Can you provide a reliable source to support your statement about Cubana Clubs being known to every Nigerian? Being "known by every Nigerian" isn't a valid notability criteria. FYI, popularity is not synonymous with notability. Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:15, 20 March 2020 (UTC) reply

Hi Versace1608 , below are sources to cement my claims

@ Geezygee: With the exception of Pulse Nigeria and Vanguard, the remaining sources you cited here are not reliable. Even if these two sources were "enough" to establish the company's notability, that doesn't explain how the CEO is notable. A CEO isn't notable simply because he is the CEO of a notable company. You need to keep in mind that notability cannot be inherited. You've failed to demonstrate how the subject meets WP:GNG and WP:ANYBIO. Which criterion of WP:GNG and WP:PERSON do you think the subject meets? Versace1608 ^{Wanna Talk?} 19:50, 20 March 2020 (UTC) reply
