Why delete?
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)

Is Mpemba a 'scientist'?
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?
The source used so far 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)
 * Found one source referring to 2023, added. LukeTriton (talk) 11:42, 30 June 2023 (UTC)
