Another commercially motivated African awards ceremony, no WP:SIGCOV, no WP:RS, no backing from a reputable organisation (unless you count a "social enterprise communications firm" as reputable), with organisers selling its media reach. Even the impressive Forbes quote is, of course, from Forbes/sites. Needs to go - and so does the 2022 The Future Awards Africa article. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 08:53, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: Seems well-sourced, it's been around almost 20 yrs, even if it is "promotional" as the nomination seems to suggest, it's still a thing with two decades of history. Could be rewritten to remove some of the concerns about PR and Forbes contributors as RS, seems fine. Oaktree b (talk) 13:25, 5 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: As someone who has worked for few years at a university in Nigeria, I fully disagree with the proposal to delete. It might need a bit of work, but almost all articles do. I agree also with the comments above. Bduke (talk) 07:38, 6 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, it needs cleanup but sourcing exists which which to write a policy-compliant article. Star Mississippi 12:42, 12 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
