Contested deletion

This page is not unambiguously promotional, because it merely explains who Pamela Abalu is just as any other Wikipedia page explains who any notable person is. The purpose of the page is informational about a rising entrepreneur with no intention of advertising or promotion. From the links provided in the article, one can see that statements made are merely facts and again not for any promotional purposes.

Title change to "Oshoke Abalu"

Changing the title to Oshoke Abalu per latest sources

Thanks Quarterto500 (talk) 04:49, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

A lot of the newer citations are in the name Oshoke Pamela Abalu, she has a lot of variation of her name. Jooojay (talk) 05:42, 30 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Missing sources and RS sources

Oshoke Abalu has used many names including Pamela Abalu, Pamela Abalu-Broadwater, Pamela Abalu Broadwater, Oshoke Pamela Abalu, Oshokenoya Pamela Abalu – these are all the names found in the current citations. She was married to Darius Broadwater in February 2011 in Brooklyn (per public records found online on Ancestry.com, which is why there is a hyphenated name), I don't know if that is still valid or not and it seems irrelevant info without RS citations. I am adding a note here since editors are removing names here and since this article does have an history of COI edits. There is a lot of use of Abalu interviews and primary sources in this article, please review WP:RS and WP:RSPRIMARY, as these eventually need to be replaced since this is a BLP. Jooojay (talk) 23:08, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The citation from Crain's New York Business^[1] was used for information in the WP article regarding Crain's New York Business Top 40 list, this is an example of a primary source and it has been removed. This is a red flag for a possible COI edit. Please feel free to discuss here if you have questions. Jooojay (talk) 23:30, 4 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
