- Comment: Sources are promotional, insufficient to establish notability, and some of the statements/sourcing need attention as well. For example, "Olukoya grew up in a Christian family and developed a passion for spiritual matters from an early age" is sourced to a self-written piece full of dubious statements.

- Comment: Hi, my first instinct is to merge this into Mountain of Fire and Miracles Ministries, the organization he founded. Curious what others think. Crunchydillpickle🥒 (talk) 17:31, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
