Reporting notes · owned source disclosure
A reporting surface, not a publicity claim.
This page separates documented programme facts, organizer reports, first-person statements, unresolved claims, and genuinely independent coverage. It is published by Akil Wade's team and should be identified as an owned source.
Source classes
Five labels with different evidentiary weight.
Do not flatten these categories into “verified.” Attribution is part of the fact.
Published programme
A public organizer roster can support a count of names on that roster. It does not independently establish attendance, influence, or outcomes.
Operational claim
A figure stated in an organizer recap may be quoted with attribution. It is not independent measurement unless a separate reliable source verifies it.
Biographical statement
An interview or official biography can establish what Akil says about his life. Reporters should independently verify consequential claims.
Reported coverage
Editorial reporting from a reliable outlet that investigates and contextualizes the subject. This is the evidence class relevant to Wikipedia notability.
Do not publish yet
A claim with conflicting totals, missing methodology, missing records, or an unclear source chain remains excluded until reconciled.
AfricAI 2026
What the current records support.
The distinction between roster, capacity, reported audience, and checked-in attendance is intentional.
Do not add the 230 and 125 figures as unique people: programme audiences may overlap. Do not use unreconciled aggregate-attendance, country-representation, sponsor-value, or multi-company revenue claims without new primary records and independent verification.

- Request source records
Journalists may request guest exports, venue records, contracts, or interviews. Availability and privacy redactions depend on the record.
Editorial independence
Coverage is not for sale here.
Journalists retain control of framing, verification, inclusion, criticism, and final publication. Access to records or interviews is not conditional on favorable treatment, copy approval, backlinks, a “king” title, or Wikipedia publication.
