[edit] Sylvia Ada Wachuku

I'd like the community opinion on this one. The article appears to be a vanity one relating to the Wachuku family generally - see AfD on Ugonna Wachuku above. While she has made positive contributions to education in Nigeria, I feel there is inadequate notability for an encyclopedia article. I am unable to verify (but don't actually doubt) some teaching awards in secondary schools and a religious knowledge workbook. If the subject had been European, I would just have put a prod tag on the article so there may be some reverse systemic bias at work here.

• Delete as per my nom. Dlyons493 Talk 11:53, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Very Weak Keep. Potentially notable as close relative of major political figure (Jaja Wachuku). We have Roger Clinton, Jr., after all. Tevildo 12:39, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete being related to someone notable is not notability in itself. Andrew Lenahan - Starblind 14:01, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete, being related to a notable figure does not make someone notable. The awards really aren't notable on a national/international scale. See also Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Ugonna Wachuku. --Coredesat 20:31, 23 June 2006 (UTC)
• Delete per other delete votes. Being the sister-in-law of the speaker of the Nigerian House of Representatives does not merit an article; I certainly can't name any of Dennis Hastert's sisters-in-law. --Metropolitan90 01:58, 24 June 2006 (UTC)
