Why delete?[edit]

I dont think this page should be deleted because it is about a real person. It is a bio, so what? Why don't you delete bill gates' bio???--Richard A Muller 10:57, 14 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It was a copy of someone else's work. Please write a bio of Mpemba in your own words, citing references. Rich Farmbrough, 13:30 14 March 2007 (GMT).

Is Mpemba a 'scientist'?[edit]

I've edited the page to change Mpemba's appellation from 'scientist' to 'game warden' and 'schoolboy'. I hope that's not too controversial! Yes, he was a 'scientist' in the amateur sense, publishing an observation on science; but he was never a professional scientist, did not gain a degree in science, and spent his adult life as a game warden (unless you want to describe him as a 'wildlife scientist'?). And it's probably of more relevance and interest to the reader that he was a schoolboy when he made his observation.

Date of death?[edit]

The source used so far [1] indicates death around 2020. Now the year of death has been changed to 2023 without new sources. What exactly is the reasoning? LukeTriton (talk) 06:37, 13 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Found one source referring to 2023, added. LukeTriton (talk) 11:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]
