Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Kenya

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Kenya. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Kenya|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Kenya. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Africa.

Previously deleted article was for a namesake. This person fails WP:SPORTSCRIT and WP:NOLY. LibStar (talk) 22:28, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete: per nom and similar to Ernest Buule, Satiender Sehmi, Dismus Onyiego, Michael Carr-Hartley, and Muharud Mukasa, all from the same editor FuzzyMagma (talk) 17:27, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
This database is interesting, and it cites a source "EAWL" for a bunch of different things about his life they list. He also seems to have been a Kenyan government official who was the Secretary of the Board of Inquiry and Magistrate Third Class. BeanieFan11 (talk) 18:12, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Julius Koome

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Does not seem to meet WP:NBIO. Minus Facebook, LinkedIn, Youtube and Amazon, not seeing any results of coverage. The sources used in the article talk about things that Koome has said and his reports on HIV cases, but are not significant coverage about Koome himself. Utopes _{(talk / cont)} 22:43, 18 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: People and Kenya. Spiderone^{(Talk to Spider)} 00:38, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Health and fitness and Biology. WCQuidditch ☎ ✎ 03:34, 19 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete from sources I've viewed including those hits from google news, he is not the subject of the coverage, so insufficient WP:SIGCOV to meet WP:BIO. LibStar (talk) 23:53, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I suppose this could be recreated if someone has access to relevant articles in Kenyan sources. With what I can see today there is nothing ABOUT this person in the articles cited, and I don't find more. I note, also, that this is appears to be the second creation of this article, and both by User:Julius Koome, so there is the problem of autobiography. The User talk:Julius Koome page has a notice that the user page itself was to be speedy deleted, which does not seem to have happened. This may be an argument for SALTing.
