Am I missing something …? Is this not the video that the Wikimedia Foundation created for visibility in Nigeria? It is great that it is receiving some visibility … but the way it is presented here looks like they made it (perhaps they were involved in the making - I can see that Emmanuella is the actress, yes?).
However, they have put forward this version as a standard YouTube license and I imagine it was released under CC-BY-SA license as per usual …
Perhaps the WMF should have a word ?

Do you think this should be compensatory or they indeed meet our notability guidelines?. For example, if they meet the English Wikipedia notability guideline, someone with no conflict of interest who think they are notable will probably write about them there. This does not implies that you have a conflict of interest but I don't think this is something you should start a thread about. They were engaged by WMF to produce the video and I think they were paid for their services. Even if it was done free of charge, they would merit a page on Wikipedia only if they pass the notability guideline. Feel free to write about them on any Wikipedia of your choice if you are sure they meet the notability criteria.
Regards,
Isaac

It's something the Wikimedia community would love to see. They had deserved a page so long ago!
