Subject of the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NMUSIC. I can't find that evidence of notability. Win the AAFMF AMAA and AMVCA award, I will personally write a decent article for you here. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 21:40, 20 December 2015 (UTC)

• Delete as evaluating the current article and sources, there's simply nothing to suggest any imaginable better notability and improvement for this article. SwisterTwister talk 05:23, 21 December 2015 (UTC)

• Wikic¤l¤gy Do Not Delete as Okechukwu Oku WON the AAFMF awards for Best Video Editor, Best Cinematographer, and Best Film Director. The AFRIFIMO AWARDS & Film/Music Festival (AAFMF) is one of Africa's top Movie Awards, and I believe this speaks of his notability. This indeed is evidence of notability as he is listed on the Award Organizer's site{{cite web|url=http://www.aafmf.com/AAFMF-2015-AWARDEES.html|title=AAFMF 2015 AWARDEES|work=Afrifimo|accessdate=7 December 2015|location=Lagos, Nigeria}} as a recipient of the Awards and this link is one of the sources in the story, besides, I do not believe, a person must win an award to be notable. There are several great men and women of the arts who are noteworthy, but have never received an award. Pastorflex

::{{u|Pastorflex}}, Afrifimo Awards & Film/Music Festival award is not what I will considered a major film award in Africa. Let me know, if he has won the Africa Movie Academy Awards and I will be glad to withdraw my nomination. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 07:15, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

::{{u|Wikicology}} Sequel to his win at the AAFMF, which you do not consider to be major, Oku has also been nominated for the 2016 Africa Magic Viewers' Choice Awards (AMVCA), in my opinion, I do not believe that his winning in his category should be a criterion for his inclusion in Wikipedia. He is a well known and respected Film-maker in Nollywood who has worked with a lot of the major Actors and Actresses in the Nollywood Film industry, as well as his work with Nigerian Musicians, as a video director cum music producer. His exploits are well documented across several Nigerian Online entertainment media including Nigerian Entertainment Today also known as TheNETng and Pulse Nigeria.

• I feel the article is valid. Wikic¤l¤gy are you saying that you have to win the AMAA or AMVCA to be on an encyclopedia? I do not think that is a valid case. He is also a nominee at the 2016 AMVCA, which is part of the article as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 197.159.64.138 (talk) 10:18, 22 December 2015 (UTC)

• Wikic¤l¤gy in my opinion, I feel the article is in order, the references are viable and indicate that he is an existing Nigerian film-maker who has done considerable work and has been nominated for the AMVCA as well as having won other minor African film awards. The sources and references show that he has been actively involved in Movie making with a number of reputable actors in Nigeria. There are a few contents that are not found in the sources/references e.g. his education is not fully described in any of the sources, this to me is not a basis for deletion, but the article should be tagged as requiring more references.

::Winning some minor awards is not enough to merit an article on Wikipedia. Notability is not inherited. Having produced one or two movies for notable actors does not make him notable. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 20:32, 23 December 2015 (UTC)

::Wikic¤l¤gy Keep he did not just win some minor awards, he was also nominated for 2014 Nollywood Movies Awards and the 2013 Golden Icons Academy Movie Awards for his work in Editing and Cinematography respectively. There are several independent articles about his works and contributions to the Nigerian Film Industry. I agree with the earlier comment about the need for more citations regarding his personal life, but to base his notability on his winning certain awards that you consider to be 'major' or 'minor' sounds a bit too subjective. Even the birth and dedication of his child was reported by some of Nigeria's top entertainment news sites e.g. Pulse Nigeria, which was also cited as a source/reference in the article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pastorflex (talk • contribs) 09:52, 26 December 2015 (UTC)

• Keep the article is about a notable Nigerian Film-maker, who has been nominated for a number of international awards and also won a few as well. The references can attest to majority of the information in the article as well. Mbisanz Northamerica1000 197.211.52.39 (talk) 14:14, 11 January 2016 (UTC)
