Comment: The new references you've added since this was last declined just four days ago are still not reliable or notability-supporting sources. You do not make a person notable enough for a Wikipedia article by referencing it to content that was self-published by organizations he was directly affiliated with -- for instance, you do not make a person notable for United Nations work by referencing that work to content that the United Nations published itself on its own website, you make a person notable for that by referencing it to journalism being done in real media that covers his work for the United Nations as a news story. Wikipedia content, additionally, cannot be referenced to Nhial Deng's own Twitter or Instagram accounts, either, as social networking posts are also not reliable or notability-building sources.

- Comment: This is still based too much on primary sources that are not support for notability, with not nearly enough reliable source media coverage present to establish that he would pass WP:GNG. Bearcat (talk) 02:25, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
- Comment: Hi! Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but, these sources don't help qualify the subject for inclusion in Wikipedia, as others have written.We need *significant* coverage ABOUT Nhial Deng. Examples: magazine and newspaper interviews and features about Nhial Deng; books written ABOUT Nhial Deng; television and radio features ABOUT Nhial Deng - not his organization or that mention him in passing. Websites of organizations and nonprofits that the subject is involved in DO NOT help establish notability and determine if the subject should have an encyclopedia entry. If those are available, please improve this submission. If not, then it appears to be WP:TOOSOON for Nhial Deng to have his own Wikipedia article.If you have any questions please ask them at WP:TEAHOUSE. Thank you for contributing to Wikipedia.

- Comment: The Chronicle of Higher Education is a solid source, but one of the CNN articles was written by Deng and the other is an opinion piece which does not provide in-depth coverage about Deng. Likewise, the Hollywood Reported does not provide in-depth coverage. (Side note - external links do not belong in the body of an article so please remove it. See WP:EL).
