  • Delete I broke the article into paragraphs so it can be read and there is some claim to notability but no sources. The burden is on the creator, not the reader. I would change my !vote for one reference, and then deal with the style issues.--killing sparrows 06:07, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete. Reads like original research, and the creator's username suggests a conflict of interest as well. No hits on google books. Fails WP:RS, WP:V, and WP:BIO. RookwoodDept. of Mysteries 15:04, 7 April 2007 (UTC)
  • keep cabinet member of national government is notability, would have been more useful to categorise and tag as unrefed (ie try dealing with the articles problems)  ⇒ bsnowball  11:52, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Absolutely keep; he is mentioned in several books, like Rise of Nationalism in Central Africa: The Making of Malawi and Zambia, Revolt of the Ministers: The Malawi Cabinet Crisis 1964-1965, Sir Glyn Jones: A Proconsul in Africa, and others.--Aldux 14:40, 8 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Keep - member of a national government is notable. -- Whpq 15:33, 10 April 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete - While there may be sources, they aren't in the article, and a list of titles doesn't clarify the extent of coverage in those sources. If he was so important, there should be more hits on the name than just Wiki and mirrors. MSJapan 04:02, 12 April 2007 (UTC)
