Neither the "Wikipedia community " nor the

decide whether they merit a Wikipedia page or not. One does not become a
subject of a Wikipedia article by creating a video for WMF. If they had
been the subject of multiple independent reliable sources, someone with no
conflict of interest will probably write about them and this has nothing to
do with the Wikipedia community or the Nigerian community.
That's rather pointlessly argumentative, Isaac, and I am responding just to
set the record straight for anyone reading with less experience who might
be getting the wrong idea:
that "someone" you mention who could write an article if there are good
sources *would* be from the Wikipedia community, and that is what Florence
meant. It *is* accurate to say that the notability would be determined by
the community.
It is also true that the determining of notability would not necessarily
happen now: it happens when someone decides the topic is notable and writes
about it, and again whenever someone else decides to content the notability
and start a discussion. But until someone decides the topic is notable and
writes an article, the question is undecided.
