Unreferenced biography. Please delete. Alio The Fool 22:33, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Article is apparently in the middle of an overhaul, and there's been tons of references added. Looks OK to me on a quick glance. fuzzy510 (talk) 23:20, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Referenced biography. Please keep. For the longer version: Notability has been established through significant coverage in multiple reliable sources as added to the article. Note to nominator: Please read WP:BEFORE. :) — LinguistAtLarge • Talk 23:31, 3 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Fine if you want to fix it. http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Leonard_Zhakata&oldid=276880483 is what it looked like. If no one is giving references I am going to AFD. If you want to source it fine go ahead and we'll keep it. In its state it deserved to be deleted and I'm not going to fix unrefed biographies if people won't fix them. This article has been like this for years I think. But if you want to withdraw fine, b/c it won't be delted now. Alio The Fool 00:30, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep my impression of the google hits is that this person is notable, however, I have no idea about Zimbabwe books and web content, and I would not be at all surprised in ability to verify much of it is not available online. This is exactly the sort of material which needs offline sourcing to help rectify systemic bias and make the internet a better place by having material not currently available online.
