   Pass/Fail:

Lead

• It would be better for the lead to be more than just a single sentence in one paragraph such as adding more of Oleka's achievements

Early life

• "Oleka grew up in Washington, D.C. with his mother and brother." - a reference is needed to verify the accuracy of this information
• "He played high school basketball at Florida Christian Institute in Cape Coral, Florida, where he averaged 24 points and 11 rebounds as a senior." - same issue as above
• "He also played AAU ball with DC Assault." - Amateur Athletic Union basketball

State College of Florida, Manatee–Sarasota

• "However, he was academically ineligible to play for a major college, so he instead started playing JUCO ball at the State College of Florida, Manatee–Sarasota (SCF Manatee–Sarasota) in 2012. " - a reference is required to verify that this portion of text is correct
• "February 18–24, 2013" - 18 to 24,
• "During his second season, he signed a letter of intent (LOI) with the Texas Longhorns," - letter of intent (LOI) to play college basketball with
• "He was subsequently released from his LOI by Texas." - a slight reword is in order since it is too close to the wording in The Arizona Republic
• "while taking classes at Cecil College in North East, Maryland." - The Arizona Republic only says Maryland not North East, Maryland

Arizona State

• "In the spring of 2015," - avoid using seasons per MOS:SEASON
• "He made his debut as a Sun Devil" - for the team
• "He made his debut as a Sun Devil against Sacramento State on November 13, 2015," - will need an extra reference that explicitly states this information
• "In 32 games, he had averages of 9.6 points and 6.1 rebounds per contest while the Sun Devils lost in the quarterfinals of the 2015 Pac-12 Conference Tournament." - this sentence is not referenced and a reliable citation that explicitly states this information will need to be added to the end of it
• "In 2016–17, Oleka started all but one of the 33 games he played, averaging 12.5 points and 9.9 rebounds per game." - same issue as above
• "Despite being 6’8," - the {{convert}} template will need to be used on the text in bold
• "It was his 15th double-double of the season, tying Ike Diogu for the most in school history since they joined the then-Pac-10 Conference in 1978." - this sentence will need to be verified by a reliable source
• "However, the Sun Devils lost by a score of 80–57 to Oregon, again in the quarterfinals, in what was Oleka's final college game. His 327 rebounds that year were the third-best mark in school history at the time." - both of these sentences will need reliable sources backing them up

Professional career

• "averaging 9.3 points and 8.7 rebounds per game." - needs a reliable citation to verify this information
• "but went undrafted in the 2017 NBA draft." - same issue as above
• "He played in a limited role off the bench for the club, appearing in 13 games and averaging 2.5 points and 2.8 rebounds per contest before leaving in January 2018." - same issue as above
• "In 23 games with the Edge, he averaged 7.6 points and 10.4 rebounds in 24.8 minutes per game." - a reliable citation is needed to verify this sentence
• "He parted ways with the team in January 2020." - same issue as above

Career statistics: College

• The college statistics table needs to be completely verified with reliable sources

Personal life

• "Oleka is of Nigerian descent, and has a Nigerian passport." - needs a citation to verify

References

• Reference 11 "2017 team rosters" is missing the publisher and access date
• References 15, 16, 17, 22, 23, 24 and 25 need to include the translated titles of the Spanish language titles
• Reference 26 needs to mention the translated title from its original Hungarian title
• Same issue for Reference 29, a Swedish language reference
• Reference 20 "Men in the middle were centrepieces in St. John's Edge's win over Lightning" is from Newsbreak, a deprecated source per WP:RSP. According to that page, as an news aggregator, it must be replaced by the original source

There are too many issues to be addressed in a GA review, and will therefore fail this review. The article can be renominated once the nominator has addressed all of the points raised above. MWright96 (talk) 15:55, 7 March 2021 (UTC)
