Hey there!
Good catch, Isla. All of the versions we released have the appropriate
licensing (YouTube, Commons, etc.), but you're right that Mark Angel's
upload has a different license.
Zack is out today, and I haven't been involved in the nitty gritty on this,
but we'll follow up with more info soon.

True Flo, but if they are important and notable within
Nigeria, then that
would allow for some weight behind them being notable to the community …?
If they are just minor Nigerian celebrities, then not.

Hey Zack,
Thanks for the clarity … that completely makes sense - I don’t think that
anyone has a problem with them being paid to do an excellent job (at least,
I don’t) - I was just wondering about the licensing on their release of the
video. Perhaps you could ask them to change it, unless it is not what they
agreed to? And if they are claiming the video, they should mention that
they were commissioned by the Wikimedia Foundation or whoever to do it.
That would tick all the attribution boxes, and keep with the licensing, yes?
With regards to whether that makes them notable enough to have a Wikipedia
article, then that is for the Nigerian community to decide. But it should
be because they are notable in their own right, and not because they did a
Wikipedia video.
One correction. It is not for the Nigerian community to decide. It is for
the Wikipedia community to do so.
