- The subject is notable for the fact that she is an Academician she is an adjunct lecturer and certified public schools teacher since 2005 at University of the State of new York city with certificate number 276450 and She as been contributing to the development of STEM in Nigeria thorough different partnership and initiatives the subject isn't a politician but an Appointee her contribution to education and STEM development in Nigeria was why I believe it notability she was nominated and won Awards to her name which was part of the perequisite for notability Royalesignature (talk). 17:50, 18 December 2023 (UTC)
- Having a teaching license doesn't get you a wikipedia article. Adjunct professor is not notable either. Oaktree b (talk) 21:06, 18 December 2023 (UTC)

- Delete Does not seem to pass PROF or NPOL. Little to no sourcing found. Oaktree b (talk) 15:30, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: Source 11 is puffy, the rest are only trivial mentions of the individual. Oaktree b (talk) 15:31, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete: Non-notable politician or academic. The article is bombarded with references in an attempt to get prove notability. But none of these sources in my opinion are fully reliable, independent, secondary or have significant coverage. Also, I have UPE or COI concerns as how these images (File:Adetola Salau 01.jpg and File:Adetola Salau 02.jpg) which has EXIF data intact, where gotten. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 19:49, 19 December 2023 (UTC)
- Keep: I have gone through the sources (and have improved the citations) and find most to be mainstream, major newspapers. Sources 1, 5 and 10 are about her, not just mentions. Although 10 is partially an interview, that is allowable when building a case for notability. Source 8 is a magazine feature. Source 16 is a print magazine feature from the University of Buffalo. Although not all of the sources are significant coverage, they demonstrate a pattern of ongoing media coverage. In addition, she has now been appointed to two government positions, meaning she is not known for just one thing. Rublamb (talk) 22:20, 19 December 2023 (UTC)

- Comment: Thanks for the review. Can you please revisit the Vanguard article? Although part of it is an interview, it has a long intro written by the reporter. I believe that does apply to notability. Also, just because an article cites a press release does not mean that it is a complete copy or lacks review by a newspaper's staff. For example, in the articles mentioned, several have a byline and some some rewriting. Also, if the press release is from a governmental institution (which they are in this case), don't you think there is a different level of accountability and reliability? At least, I do not think it is fair to say that an announcement of a government appointment is a puff piece; rather this should be considered news. Rublamb (talk) 01:24, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- I didn't say it is a puff piece. I only said it is a press release; which is what it is. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 15:36, 21 December 2023 (UTC)
- Delete. I concur with ReadingBeans' analysis of the sources. These are largely non-independent puff pieces. No evidence of meeting NPROF or GNG.
