Utterly non-notable individual. This might be the product of a Santa Monica College course, but I am not 100% sure. An editor with the subject's name appears to have been involved in the editing too. In any case, there is no coverage at all. Only source I could find was this one, where he was mentioned once in passing. PK650 (talk) 04:11, 2 January 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Actually it looks like there are a fair number of reasonable feature articles about Ebenezer Norman that are cited in this article--for example, this, this, this, and a number of others. Philepitta (talk) 02:35, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- I agree they're a start in the right direction, but they're far from SIGCOV. Firstly they're about his school, not himself. Secondly, they're very local outlets, and I'm unsure if they would be considered reliable, or at least I would question their reliability unless someone experienced in the matter can attest to their weight and validity. Thirdly, one of the sources you elicited is a Denver Catholic publication, which obviously raises independence issues as well, given his initiative is at least in part a Catholic one (financially speaking, for one). Best, PK650 (talk) 04:29, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Keep The sources in the article already seem sufficient in that they deal with him directly. Many deal with his organization or projects in more detail, but even in these he's discussed sufficiently (even if he isn't the primary subject) to indicate to me that he passes WP:GNG. --Jayron32 16:40, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
- Re the "sufficient" sources listed in the article, and excluding citations to Facebook, Youtube, Catholic and University non-independent press (he works with Catholic organizations and got press from the University he attended, for example), as well as what appear to be blog posts, we are left with the following:
- [1] A local community radio article that briefly discusses "Young Women Survivors of War in Liberia", and mentions Norman twice.
- [2] A press release titled "Nobel Peace Prize Winner Receives Award In Arvada", mentioning him being at the event.
- 3 local Colorado KUSA articles I could access (another returned a 404): [3], [4] & [5] - these are the most solid, albeit local sources yet.
- [6] An interview on the same local radio.
- [7], [8] & [9] Lastly these 3 that again are about speeches by other people.
