• Delete: The subject does not pass Wikipedia general Notability guidelines Ibjaja055 (talk) 05:38, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

They’re not sponsored posts. They started covering the person’s company as he is making waves in the state. Theshehv (talk) 06:35, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• Speedy delete: per nom, and also includes fake refs FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:09, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

  It is not fake refs, there was an error copying the link. Kindly check and update. Theshehv (talk) 18:10, 23 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: Sources are clearly press releases/sponsored posts despite the creator's insistence to the contrary. They are heavily promotional, all published 0-3 days ago, and the text is copied across different websites. Helpful Raccoon (talk) 06:24, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

  Like I said before, the said person was making a wave recently due to his tech contribution in Kaduna, that was why the the content, and all those releases are made due to the recent event and hence the 0-3 days. Theshehv (talk) 06:45, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete: Fails Wp:Notability, poorly sourced puff piece. Possible COI. Zuck28 (talk) 18:54, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

• Speedy delete. Note: the above "reply" was added by User:TheCrescent, who (most likely deliberately?) added it in a way so it doesn't show their name(/default signature). The reason I'm being quite accusatory (rather than assuming WP:GOODFAITH) is because the edit summary is just "Fixed typo", even though they added 953 characters.
  Kinda sneaky, no? J. Geerink (talk) 21:19, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

• Delete the subject fails WP:GNG. Note the article creator is the same person that created Stone Tech Square. He/She should be investigated for UPE Ok1616 16:43, 27 January 2025 (UTC)
