For the most part, the references in the article for this person are not references at all. For instance, the first reference reads, quote: "As a member of the Participation Group of the [Institute of Development Studies], working with Robert Chambers and others, Executive Director of ACORD and CEO of Khanya-African Institute for Community driven Development" which is certainly not an actual reference, but more of a comment from the author. Most of the references read like this.

Web searches from multiple search engines bring up no hits for this name from reliable, secondary sources independent of the subject. News search, books search, and scholar search all return no results. The creator of the page, and virtually the only editor (besides bot edits, minor edits, disambiguation linkers, etc.) has a WP:SPA. Fails WP:GNG. Fails WP:BIO.

Delete Nothing on books or news, only wp mirrors on google. The article has major problems, and given the lack of any online coverage, I can't see it improving. This is not just an editing issue. Tigerboy1966 01:23, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
