Article is apparently still classified as a Stub (it should be classified as at least Start). Also, is there no information available about his date of birth? Also, the bottom template claims that he is currently Ghana's Minister of Defence; however, this is not mentioned anywhere in the article. The article itself is fine but a full review will follow once these issues have been clarified. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 07:31, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

@Narutolovehinata5: Thanks for the review. Concerning the date of birth, I have searched all over for it but cant find it. The other issues have been resolved, they were oversights. Sorry. God bless. CrossTemple Jay 09:30, 19 December 2017 (UTC)

I see no outstanding issues with the article, apart from a typo that states that "President Nana Akufo-Addo, Appointed Kofi" which should be " President Nana Akufo-Addo appointed Sarpong". In fact, as much as possible, except for the lede, Sarpong can be referred to by his surname instead of his full name. The article is new enough when it was nominated, is long enough, and as a BLP, everything that needs to be cited is cited. The article is stable, and there are no images to worry about. Earwigs gives a score of 30.6% but these appear to be limited to mentions of his titles, so no plagiarism or copyright violations have been detected. QPQ provided. Although a bit long, I prefer ALT0 as it mentions both his roles as a chairman of a petroleum company and as an ex-head of a football club. Narutolovehinata5 ^tccsdnew 12:01, 22 December 2017 (UTC)

The article is tagged for resume-style writing. Yoninah (talk) 21:59, 3 January 2018 (UTC)

It has been over three weeks since the nominator was informed that there were issues, but no action has been taken, and the nomination is now two months old. Marking for closure as unsuccessful. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:11, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
