In my view, the subject fails both the General notability guidelines for biographies and the Author notability guidelines. After much searching both under his full name (Rotimi Ogunjobi) and his nickname (Timi Ogunjobi), I can find no biographical information which is not self-published. Typical example. There are no reviews of his work in any independently published reliable sources. Virtually all of his work is self-published through various vanity publishers or his own online ventures one of which is Lagos Literary and Arts Journal. Note the user name of the article's creator and sole author [1]. His only independently published work appears to consist of three short stories. One appears in an anthology of "new and emerging writers" [2] published by Critical, Cultural and Communications Press (2010). One in Queen's Quarterly (2002) [3], and one in an anthology published in Nigeria (1999) [4]. Voceditenore (talk) 16:32, 6 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Voceditenore makes a persuasive argument. Three short stories is not sufficient for WP:AUTHOR and does not seem to meet general notability guidelines. --Moonriddengirl ^(talk) 10:48, 7 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]
