• Delete - (1) Per Wikipedia:No original research, articles may not contain any unpublished arguments, ideas, data, or theories; or any unpublished analysis or synthesis of published arguments, ideas, data, or theories that serves to advance a position. In particular, a Wikipedia article about a person should not include unpublished analysis. Mutsengi has done many noteworthy things and that is what the unpublished analysis in the article seeks to prove. This unpublished analysis violates Wikipedia:No original research. (2) Per Wikipedia:Notability, a topic is notable if it has been the subject of multiple, non-trivial published works from sources that are reliable and independent of the subject itself and each other such that there exists enough source material to write a verifiable, encyclopedic article about the topic. The article should be created using multiple non-trivial published works that discuss Mutsengi himself (which the article does not). The article RBZ Must Encourage Use of Plastic Money does mention that Asher Tarivona-Mutsengi is a research scholar at the University of Texas at Austin, College of Natural Sciences, but that is not enough source material to write a verifiable, encyclopedic article about the topic. Mutsengi is from Zimbabwe, so a problem might be that the multiple non-trivial published works that discuss Mutsengi himself are located in Zimbabwe and not accessible over the Internet. If the author of the article can find some multiple non-trivial published works that discuss Mutsengi himself, please include those in the article. However, it does not appear that the topic meets Wikipedia:Notability and I do not think it can meet Wikipedia:Notability. Thus, I believe that the article should be deleted. -- Jreferee 18:43, 25 January 2007 (UTC)
