This person fails WP:BLP. There are no reliable sources with significant coverage. The article is also an autobiography (the author reveled himself to be Ambrose Nshala at Wikimedia Commons). The same article was already speedily deleted twice, and is now recreated with some "references" none of which points to a reliable source. Vanjagenije ( talk) 01:20, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Keep - I would like to declare that I'm the author of the article and it is true that it is a biography of a living person. However, I believe the proposal to delete it is based on the deletion history of the article on wikipedia. Unfortunately the first time I created it, I was not well versed with creating articles and references, so I failed to include reliable sources because of the syntax and not because they were not available.I request this article be judged in this light and not the shadow of the past.

- Most references made are reliable. I have also deleted most personal information from unofficial sources I could not reference. AfroPianist ( talk) 09:13, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- I also confirm that I am not Ambrose Nshala, though I declared at Wikimedia Commons the photos I uploaded were copyrighted to him, because he gave me explicit permission to do so, having contacted him. AfroPianist ( talk) 09:13, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- You uploaded two photos of Nshala at Wikimedia Commons and tagged them both as "own work". In the "author" field you typed "[[User:AfroPianist|Ambrose Nshala]]" which clearly implies that AfroPianist and Ambrose Nshala are the same person. If you are not him, and you have the permission from the author to use photos under free license, you have to send the permission to the OTRS team. Vanjagenije ( talk) 11:22, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Ambrose Nshala is a respectable member of our community and a leader of various development and humanitarian efforts. AfroPianist ( talk) 09:13, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- Comment - Hi User:AfroPianist. I've struck the duplicate "keep" parts of your comments above, because in Articles for deletion discussions in English Wikipedia only one denoted !vote is allowed. However, please feel free to comment all you'd like within the discussion. Thanks. Northamerica1000 (talk) 08:54, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the correction, Northamerica1000 it's my first time and a whole new world of Wikipedia is opening to me! AfroPianist ( talk) 09:13, 29 January 2014 (UTC)
- Thanks for the editing to remove the duplicate "keep" parts above that were previously there. Cheers, Northamerica1000 (talk) 09:16, 29 January 2014 (UTC)

- Delete I dont know who this person is so I read the article over and over. Mr Nshala is a vice pressident of a bank. He is a president of a rotary chapter in his town and he is a public accountant. He is also a politician in his region. Still my question is is he notable and for what? Ok he might be notable amongs Rotary members or voters in his region but is that enough? If the writer of the article could write down what makes him notable in the article itself with some reffs than I will change my vote but as it is I must question notability issue. I might sound harsh and I dont mean it. I apologyze. I am only trying to make a point. Stepojevac ( talk) 15:35, 16 February 2014 (UTC)

- Delete - can't possibly see what the subject is notable for. He has a couple of locally high-profile roles in different companies and community groups but nothing that rises to the level of national significance, thus the lack of anything other than local newspaper coverage. That's not enough for a pass against WP:GNG in my view. Stalwart 111 07:11, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
- Delete His only possibly defining characteristic is being vice president of a bank. However, bank vice presidents are not notable. If he was president of Bank M, maybe, but not as vice president. John Pack Lambert ( talk) 04:50, 20 February 2014 (UTC)
