 * Keep --- typing "Ham Mukasa" into Google Books makes it quite clear. Article can easily be expanded with any of the hundreds of sources there. I've already rewritten the probably copyvio and added a photo. cab (talk) 00:56, 27 August 2009 (UTC)

 * Please sign your posts using ~ . Also there is no need to put in so many spaces. (Note to closing admin: the above is the original author of the article, which has since been rewritten). cab (talk) 01:41, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Also you are no doubt aware that he has an entry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, since that's where you plagiarised the article from -- having an entry in the ODNB is a reasonable indicator of notability. cab (talk) 04:05, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * but its from the old dictionary not the new one — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kjbdfn0 (talk • contribs)
 * I highly doubt that. The author listed for the entry is M. Louise Pirouet, who is a present-day scholar. The material you pasted in earlier discusses events up to his death in 1956. That means that text has not yet fallen into the public domain as it is too new. Also please stop replacing single spaces with double spaces. cab (talk) 04:29, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep notable. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:25, 27 August 2009 (UTC)
