As the article has already been deleted, I can't see and judge for myself. But there was mention of promotional language in the discussion about Michael Aboya, at least. Was there indeed promotional language? If so, how come? I know for a fact you know how to write NPOV text, because I remember personally demonstrating it in Ghana, with you in the room. Was indeed a paid editing job? Did you not notice you were using non-NPOV language?
(If it's the latter, I am happy to offer a call where we can go over this again -- perhaps even fix the article, if you have a saved copy -- to make sure future efforts of yours don't end up with text that is encyclopedically unacceptable.)
I'm interested in helping resolve this. Obviously, resolving this can't require breaking Wikipedia's rules, though.
Cheers,
A.

Hi All,
I started a conversation on our Telegram chat group about getting my articles (User:Owula kpakpo) tagged for deletion by one editor ( User:Versace1608 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Versace1608) and other editors like (User:Kwamevaughan) also expressed same sentiments about getting articles his written tagged for deletion.
In other to settle this and get a community response to such issues in the future and how we can settle issues of notability criteria within our contest as Ghanaians. Another volunteer (User:Enock4seth) asked that it be shared here so we can properly document such discussions for later.
Find links to the various articles under scrutiny below. Also, feel free to add any further information to this discussion so we can properly deal with it moving forward.
Regards, Justice.
