Paid for article[1]) where the three recent sources have all signs of being rehashed press releases / paid for "articles" as well, seeing that they all came within days of each other and all contained the same bizarre mistakes like "he moved to South Africa in early 2000s which had just gained independence"[2] vs. "during the early 2000s he moved to South Africa which had just gained independence"[3] vs. "the opportunities that existed in South Africa in 2000 after it had just attained its independence."[4]. Very few actually independent sources about him seem to exist[5]. Fram (talk) 13:01, 25 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete In addition to the facts noted by Fram, I noticed that source #2 has its publisher listed as Global News, which could be deliberately misleading. The publisher is, in fact, a Ugandan site called Globe News. Although I have no qualms against disclosed paid editing, all three source do not seem remotely reliable and may not be independent, so the subject does not qualify as notable.

• Delete as per nomination. Vaguely interesting because his company seems to run private vocational colleges, filling a gap in the South African education system, but not enough to overcome the issues raised above.Park3r (talk) 23:00, 28 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]
