Not elected to office, no notability presented or existing for this Ugandan entrepreneur, writer, philanthropist, and political strategist. The article itself, a puff piece, is sourced to owned media, paid media etc. and no RS to pass WP:GNG. We learn that "He once wrote a New Vision article that read like a criticism of President Museveni" - and that's about as notable as it gets. Alexandermcnabb (talk) 13:46, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Insufficient quality of references to prove notability. Fails WP:GNG. UtherSRG (talk) 14:11, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Weak keep Very large amount of PR fluff, but I think he's barely notable [1], [2] seem ok. Oaktree b (talk) 15:41, 6 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
(edit conflict) Keep (as AfC accepter) -- I'm not familiar with the nuances of Ugandan media, but I found three sources (Independent, Observer #1, and Observer #2) to be significant coverage in major UG newspapers, with NilePost (1, 2) somewhere on the line, leaning towards notability. OP may have more expertise, but I didn't see anything that suggested owned or paid media from those, and all three are listed here by Stanford. The article could be trimmed, but those five sources give me enough to find notability for a person connected to the president, who has made some attempts to get into politics and whose statements regarding his own ambitions and the role of the exec have him relevant.

This clearly meets GNG and clearly fails PROMO. Needs a re-write and it should be okay. SportingFlyer T·C 19:12, 9 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep (as Contributor): The article has a lot of viable information and meets Wiki:GNG to a large extent. All It needs is more contributions from editors to make it wholesome and better it.

Keep: Greetings fellow Wikipedians! Indeed despite not being elected to office, the subject is active on the Ugandan political scene - directly through party politics and indirectly through his behind-the-scenes works in relation to his connections in the current Ugandan administration. There are multiple sources that show his entrepreneur side, his stake in politics (not just the New Vision source) and his personal life.

As a new article, I urge everyone with knowledge on the subject to contribute accordingly to make it better. Afterall, Wiki is a joint effort. Niitwe (talk) 09:20, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

You created the article and have a declared COI with the subject!!! Best Alexandermcnabb (talk) 12:10, 13 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
