Patrick Awuah Jr

  • Comment: Ashesi University Founder and President

Created/expanded by Nkansahrexford (talk). Self nom at 09:01, 29 June 2012 (UTC)

  • Symbol question.svg ... Where is the hook? --George Ho (talk) 00:51, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Symbol redirect vote4.png I have bolded the article title in the hook and added "that" per WP:DYKSG (and WP:DYK) rules. Let's await for another reviewer. --George Ho (talk) 03:34, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
  • I have added a comma and period in the article title, as well as renamed a title per WP:naming conventions (people). I have also restructured the hook for proper reading. --George Ho (talk) 06:45, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
  • Which University (does it have an article?) also how are you defining world class? Secretlondon (talk) 19:35, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
  • The university is called Ashesi University, its located in Accra of Ghana. World class in the sense that its got almost anything worth recognizing about a good university, in terms of tuition, facilities, and more and it meets all necessary standards involved.
  • Lots of universities promote themselves with such words, it needs to be defined as such by an authority I think. Secretlondon (talk) 04:52, 3 July 2012 (UTC)
  • Based on the references found on the Ashesi University article, I do not think there's much more needed authority to certify and be defined by a higher authority. I wonder if that isn't enough though --Nkansahrexford (talk) 03:42, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

I'm out of this nomination, so I can leave this up to you. --George Ho (talk) 04:10, 17 July 2012 (UTC)

The references are inadequate and this feels promotional as it stands. Secretlondon (talk) 21:37, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
Even the University's article has 3 references from itself. Anything negative? - its a tiny recently founded private college in the developing world, not one of the big universities. This has PR all over it. Secretlondon (talk) 21:39, 17 July 2012 (UTC)
  • First of all, the nomination is awkwardly phrased. Since Awuah is the subject of the DYK, it would be desirable to place the emphasis on him in the hook (if possible): ... that Patrick Awuah, Jr., a former Microsoft employee, founded a world-class university in Ghana? But, on the other hand, I don't think we should be describing Ashesi University as world-class; neither the article Patrick Awuah, Jr. nor Ashesi University uses the word "world-class", and I don't know how the university could be so classified; it only offers three majors (business administration, computer science, and management information systems), whereas the University of Ghana and other institutions in the country offer a much more diversified curriculum. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 07:15, 20 July 2012 (UTC)
