I wanted to add Phanuel Muverengwi, a new Zimbabwean Christian motivational writer under the Category Zimbabwean Writers but do not know how to do it. I am new to Wikipedia and am wondering if it is acceptable. I just noted that a number of Zimbabwean writers are listed there. Please assist.

I cannot find any references to reliable sources for this person - for example, this search of Google News shows nothing. For inclusion, an article needs "significant coverage in independent, reliable sources" (WP:GNG). Please help us by working on other articles though!  Chzz  ►  09:34, 13 October 2009 (UTC)

I think that this new group of authors need mention. Maybe this category could be placed under Zimbabwean Writers and include people like Jonah Mungoshi, Milton Kamwendo, Phanuel Muverengwi, Pascal Nyasha, etc. I understand your requirement that these people be referenced by independent source, but the work they have done has made so much impact on Zimbabweans to warrant, as far as I am concerned, listing on wikipedia. Please consider.

Speedy deletion nomination of Zimbabwe Motivational Writers


A tag has been placed on Zimbabwe Motivational Writers requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done because the article, which appears to be about a real person, individual animal(s), an organization (band, club, company, etc.), or web content, does not indicate how or why the subject is notable: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. Under the criteria for speedy deletion, articles that do not indicate the subject's importance or significance may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable. If this is the first page that you have created, then you should read the guide to writing your first article.

If you think that you can assert the notability of the subject, you may contest the deletion by adding  to the top of the article (just below the existing speedy deletion or "db" tag), coupled with adding a note on the article's talk page explaining your position, but be aware that once tagged for speedy deletion, if the article meets the criterion it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag yourself, but don't hesitate to add information to the article that would confirm the subject's notability under Wikipedia guidelines.

For guidelines on specific types of articles, you may want to check out our criteria for biographies, for web sites, for bands, or for companies. Feel free to leave a note on my talk page if you have any questions about this. Jaydec  (talk)  21:58, 12 October 2009 (UTC)
