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 ?

Hi Daniel,
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

Mark Angel and Emmanuella just contributed greatly to Wikimedia by
sensitizing their 1.3 million plus fan base Wikipedia in an
intelligently humorous way. It's something the Wikimedia community
would love to see. They had deserved a page so long ago!
