This article fails WP:INHERENTWEB. Gachangi (talk) 03:34, 1 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Gachangi has been involved in significant edits and promotion of the page James Mwangi which has some recent edits (from Business Today (Kenya)) that have been used to cite sexual assault allegations against James mwangi. Sources such as this describe notability of the editor luke. Gachangi is attempting to use this afd to fight sexual assault allegations against james mwangi. As per the specific edits on James mwangi: sources are clearly reliable and in a neutral point of view. Case in point, Esther passaris who claims she was assaulted by James Mwangi gave an interview to news sites directly e.g. Tuko news and Nairobi news of nation.africa. Then there are also allegations of land grabbing which are part of the edits on James Mwangi. Business today reported a story based on actual court records. This nomination to delete business today page is not in good faith as there are clearly other sources that make this news site valid. A news website cannot honestly be making news elsewhere except the editor whose notability can clearly be established.Gachangi is using this afd to fight off sexual assault and land grabbing claims against James Mwangi that are clearly well sourced and cited by business today. Business today wrote the story based on actual court records which are valid sources on wikipedia.

Delete: Barely found anything about the site. Winning 2 awards are perhaps not enough for the page to establish notability. ASTIG😎 _{(ICE T • ICE CUBE)} 01:00, 4 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
keep but update: blog constitutes opinion work by professional writer who is an editor with a reputation for opinion work.see 1, 2, 3 and 4 5,6. Sources 5 and 6 mention editor plus business today. As per WP:NEWSBLOG this cannot be subjected to larger news organization review process. Operation is smaller and notable to pass WP:GNG lamely specifically in cases where editor has been mentioned and business today mentioned too(although minute). Business today plus the minor mentions, the awards and the editor qualify to keep article for a blog type of operation. This is mainly because this editorial work plus minor mentions can pass for oversight and fact checking for a smaller blog operation as per WP:SOURCE. The blog is regularly updated with relevant news and has been referenced by a number of notable corporates in kenya. It wouldn't be practical for the site to be making the news in other competing news sites with larger operations.-2C0F:FE38:2324:76E:1:0:A969:264B (talk) 17:49, 7 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - notability cannot be inherited from the chief editor of the website. This website cannot depend on the notability of other websites where the author is coincidentally a contributor. The awards won by the website are trivial. Gachangi (talk) 04:46, 15 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
