Subject of the article fails WP:GNG and WP:NAUTHOR. It was nominated for deletion in October 2013 and the debate was closed as "No consensus" but I don't see how the author met WP:NAUTHOR#3. Majority of the sources in the article and the ones are found through WP:BEFORE are unreliable and self-published. Being invited to speak in local events is not an evidence of notability.

Delete: Per criteria cited by Wikicology. Because he writes articles for notable newspapers or through his personal blog does not make him notable. A paragraph reads thus: "Since 2013, Ayo Sogunro has been listed consecutively as one of the 100 most influential Nigerians on Twitter.", when did Twitter become an award entity? --—OluwaCurtis »» (talk to me) 15:41, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - My searches mostly found some links at Books and News but simply nothing better, too soon at best. Draft and userfy if needed. Notifying past AfD commenters (and African user) Versace1608, Stanleytux, Jamie Tubers and Takeaway. SwisterTwister talk 08:21, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
• keep I don't have time to research if new sources have emerged since the first nomination. I can only refer to the sources that I found then for this, apparently, notable and controversial writer, social commentator, and activist, who seems to attract quite some opposition. Please read Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ayo Sogunro. It would seem that this person's notability should not only be based on his merits as an author, but also for being a well known social commentator. - Takeaway (talk) 12:29, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The sources are not enough to establish the subject's notability. Wikic¤l¤gy^{t@lk to M£} 13:25, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As I said, the person seems to attract quite a lot of opposition. - Takeaway (talk) 14:00, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It has been more than a year since this article was first nominated for deletion, and nothing has improved/changed. I still feel that the notability of the subject is in question because of the lack of extensive coverage. If someone can provide me references that discusses the subject in significant detail, I won't hesitate to change my views. Versace1608 (Talk) 22:43, 1 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - I agree with Versace's opinion. The fact that the subject of the article is controversial does not make him notable. It does seem that there could be a source that confirms notability for the subject, its just not in the article yet. Inter&anthro (talk) 00:26, 2 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete - While there is some sourcing out there, searches did not turn up enough in-depth coverage from reliable secondary sources to show they meet the notability criteria. Onel5969 ^{TT me} 12:16, 6 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]
