The result was Speedied as G10 (attack page); Calling a page that doesn't so much as list a birthdate or give some indication of the subject's history a "biography" was at best a joke in poor taste; when it consists of nothing but a collection of unflattering anecdotes it's character assassination. — Coren (talk) 04:38, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Subject has requested to opt-out of the encyclopedia. I am currently neutral; that could change as I research further. NW (Talk) 00:48, 31 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In addition to the secondary coverage of Inge Bongo sparked by the 4 Feb. 2010 Senate report. Secondary coverage includes:
her appearance on the television real estate shopping program: Peta, Basildon (6 September 2009) "Chance to right things goes begging in Gabon" The Sunday Independent (South Africa) page 10; Rice, Xan (5 May 2008) "International: Gabon: Papa Bongos 40 years in power: Record-breaking rule thanks to oil cash but cronysim and corruption taint future" The Guardian page 15; and McFerson, Hazel M. (2009)"Governance and Hyper-corruption in Resource-rich African Countries" Third World Quarterly 30(8): pp.1529–1547 doi:10.1080/01436590903279257
her estrangement from Ali Ben Bongo and voodoo: Staff (30 August 2009) "'First Lady' in California Exile" The New York Post page 14
Evidence of her actual marriage to Ali Ben Bongo at a private ceremony in Spain seems to be paltry at best. --Bejnar (talk) 00:20, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Aengw has restored the original article. --Bejnar (talk) 21:49, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete, WP:BLP of marginal notability (stitched together from news stories, some of them tabloid); subject expresses a clear preference for deletion. Guy (Help!) 20:48, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete. This is not a biography; it is a cobble-job of a bunch of unconnected events that do nothing but paint the marginally-notable subject of the article in a bad light. I have reservations about relying on the Subcommittee report as it is a primary source - there are no secondary sources cited for the money-laundering stuff. Not at all comfortable with the retention of this article. --Mkativerata (talk) 21:04, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete- Article has been trimmed back from the poor situation it was in but under the circumstances of semi notable, poorly cited with no coverage and request from the subject, I support deletion. Off2riorob (talk) 21:50, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete No comprehensive sources available to write an in depth npov account of her life up to now. Hobbling together bits and pieces can not give a well balanced entry so delete. FloNight♥♥♥♥ 22:43, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Regardless of the views of the subject, there is no indication that this article can be developed into anything more than a couple of poorly-sourced gossip items. If necessary, a proper article can be created if the subject is ever featured in a secondary source as notable. Johnuniq (talk) 22:51, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete—subject is of marginal at best notability, the article consists of a list of peripheral negative incidents involving the subject and is not either comprehensive or netural, and the subject herself requests deletion. –Grondemar 22:57, 4 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Warning User:JzG re-censored the article on April 4 immediately before all of the above delete votes were cast. This deletion,[1] complete with a warning against re-adding content, is based on the assertion that a majority and minority staff report from the Permanent Committee on Investigations of the United States Senate is an unreliable primary source that cannot be used in a Wikipedia biography. Please consult the older version.[2] Wnt (talk) 03:52, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
