[edit] Rodwel Munyenyembe

Unless we plan on maintaining an article for each person on the planet I think this article is a good candidate for deletion. A quick googling brought up little, though that is a rough indicator of worth. Anyway, it needs work if it's not to be deleted. goofyheadedpunk 00:21, 13 July 2006 (UTC)

  • This AfD nomination was incomplete. It is listed now. DumbBOT 13:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Delete. He is described as a member of the Pan-African Parliament but I don't see him listed in the members list on their web site. [1] --Metropolitan90 13:48, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
    • Keep subject to moving to correct spelling, per additional information below. --Metropolitan90 02:49, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Weak keep I say "Weak" because of the above note by Metropolitan: can we verify that he is indeed a member of the parliament? If he is then this should be a definite keep. No one would argue about an article for a congressman in the US so please remember concerns about systemic bias. It should not surprise anyone that googling gives poor results for African politicians, especially politicians from Malawi which is probably among the least Internet-connected countries in the world.

Comment changing my vote to keep. It does seem that he was at least a member in March 2004 [2].
  • Strong Keep. If you google Rodwell Munyenyembe instead of Rodwell, you will find that he is described as "Speaker of Parliament Rodwell Munyenyembe" [3]. It seems he died a little over a year ago. It needs to be updated, not deleted.--Thomas.macmillan 15:47, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Keep. I believe this article meets the guidelines of WP:BIO, specifically: "Political figures holding international, national or statewide/provincewide office or members of a national, state or provincial legislature." Article just needs more work. --Satori Son 16:14, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep. A speaker of a national parliament is notable; a speaker of a parliament in a country that suffers the effects of systemic bias, doubly so. — Haeleth Talk 19:54, 13 July 2006 (UTC)
