Does not satisfy WP:BIO or WP:GNG. Only has primary sources. A web search does not show up much of anything, let alone independent reliable sources for Odero Peter Otieno or Odero Otieno.
The article makes no claim of why the subject is notable aside from education awards / scholarship, concluding only that he co-founded a company "that seeks to make ... deliveries ... and give in-app microloans".
Reads like a CV and is written by a user using the same name as the subject of the article. Another contributor to the article is a username with the same name for which there is a redirect from, Francis Odhiambo, to Odero Peter Otieno. - Lopifalko ( talk) 06:58, 2 June 2019 (UTC)

- Delete While this person has gained some attention (
this speaks to that) there isn't sufficient reliable, secondary sources attesting to his notability to meet
WP:GNG or
WP:NBIO. I am troubled as well about the creator's
WP:IDHT attitude in having his draft rejected (see
Draft:Odero Otieno), and then subsequently creating the article in mainspace anyway, with essentially the same material. Further, the editor appears likely to be the subject of the article, based on usernames.
WP:AUTOBIO comes into play here. I've placed uw-autobiography warnings on the talk pages of the two accounts in question. --

- Comment From a quick scan I think the only difference between the rejected draft and the article in mainspace as it now stands is what I removed from it in mainspace—inline external links, and sources that were mere mentions of the thing described itself and not of him and the thing. - Lopifalko ( talk) 19:04, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete and salt this autobiography, which looks like it will continue to be re-created otherwise. Mini apolis 19:34, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete No evidence of notability found in a search, some of the sources given don't even mention him, what sources there are are just trivial mentions. Fails WP:GNG. Also strong likelihood of self-promotion. Delete the redirects as well. Hzh ( talk) 20:43, 2 June 2019 (UTC)
- Delete. Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable for the purposes of guaranteeing him an article, so the notability standard he would have to meet is that he's been the subject of enough reliable source coverage to clear WP:GNG — but the references here are primary sources, not reliable or notability-supporting media coverage. Wikipedia is not a free publicity platform on which people are entitled to place their résumés in order to boost their web presence because they lack conventional media coverage — the depth of media coverage a person does or doesn't have is the notability test that determines whether they get a Wikipedia article or not.

- Delete per rationale given by Bearcat. Article is promotional Lubbad85 ( ☎) 17:34, 5 June 2019 (UTC)
