The result was Speedy deletion because of copyvio reasons. While I did argue for keep, perhaps I am the only admin who has seen this so I am closing it. I hope someone can recreate it as we are indeed short of good articles on African academics. Bduke (talk) 23:16, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

- Delete self-promotional? I can find a few hits - [1] - but the subject still seems non-notable. Shiva Evolved (talk) 23:05, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
- Note: This debate has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletions. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Keep, but needs major cleanup. An academic who becomes a university Vice-Chancellor is pretty well clearly notable. There has to be sources. Of course in some countries the sources may be harder to find as possibly in this case. It just needs sources and rewriting. --Bduke (talk) 10:06, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
*Delete Article has needed cleanup since October 2007 or earlier. Recommend delete. Can be recreated if notability established. Ra2007 (talk) 15:59, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Weak keep. Our coverage of African academics is thin, deletion of this article would make it thinner, and it looks like he is likely notable (per Bduke) although the article could do a better job of convincing us of that; it's not easy to pick out the important points in the article as written among the routine academic work chaff. But cleanup is not a good reason for deletion. —David Eppstein (talk) 18:25, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
- Comment The whole article is lifted from here, which I wish I'd known before I made a bunch of minor coypedits to it (I don't mean that to sound snippy). Esrever (klaT) 19:08, 11 December 2007 (UTC)
