Does not meet WP:GNG, coverage appears limited to breathless PR pieces, which use phrasing such as This masterclass is the brainchild of Prince Anthony Bart-Appiah a Royal [1]. Searching online, I was able to find one more substantial source of questionable value: [2]. Normally wedding announcements are considered routine press and do not contribute to notability, but this article offers an unusual amount of biographical depth. Still, it suffers from the same promotional tone, likely lack of independence, and questionable framing of a marriage to an elected politician in a republic (Panama) as if it were a political union of significant import. Overall, I think we fall short of the amount of credible, independent coverage needed to justify an article. _signed, Rosguill ^talk 15:24, 14 May 2024 (UTC)

Delete per nom. Nothing on Scholar, nothing on GBooks, nothing on JSTOR. I've removed claims that he initiated the Ghanaian government initiatives The Year of Return and Beyond the Return, as the cited source does not mention those and actually says only that he gave an online master-class on "Black Stories Matter" – which appears to be his only claim to fame.

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
