Willy Munyeta[edit]

Non-notable person. The article claims that he's a magical prophet who can perform divine miracles, so even if this article passes, it needs major cleanup to remove the bogus crap. ThePlatypusofDoom (talk) 17:13, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Weak Delete Might be something out there helping with notability, but I have my doubts. South Nashua (talk) 17:51, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I couldn't find any sources that were wholly independent of the belief that Munyeta is a prophet with divine powers. Zambian "news" sources appear to give credulous and uncritical treatment to the subject. It's not possible to build an NPOV encyclopedia article from those. - LuckyLouie (talk) 19:10, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
delete I had the same experience looking into this as did LL: the closest thing I could come to was a story about him being jailed which also flatly stated that he is "known by his accurate prophecies both local and international, unheard miracles, signs and wonders and timely messages" [1], and I couldn't find out who the publisher of this was or whether they have a connection to Munyeta.

Weak delete the sources seem very slim, and in any case the article probably needs a good WP:TNT even if it were notable. Insert CleverPhrase Here 21:00, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
delete no serious sources beyond unverifiable afro-paparazzi hype. Staszek Lem (talk) 21:45, 25 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
