Non-notable Kenyan doctor. His claim to fame seems to be being the "KCSE best student in Kenya in 2002." I have not done research on his "over 50 published papers", so it is possible he may meet notability that way. Natg 19 (talk) 17:08, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment. When did it become OK to nominate an article for deletion while trumpeting the fact that one hasn't bothered to check the validity of the claims of notability in the article? Did we delete WP:BEFORE and remove the references to it in deletion policy when nobody was looking? The Big Bad Wolfowitz (aka Hullaballoo) (talk) 18:56, 28 August 2015 (UTC)

 * Comment: I have a hard time seeing what The Big Bad Wolfowitz is pointing at. Of this person's works, I've found about 20 citations overall. He fails WP:PROF, and I've also been unable to find independent coverage about him. FoCuS contribs ;  talk to me!  14:47, 7 September 2015 (UTC)

I believe that wikipedia should recognize any hero who is recognized in his or her family.DT Paul Bundi is one of the most recognized young doctors here in Kenya.if you ask.is he internationally known? I will say NO.but I suppose wiki puts into light persons who have got a reputation in their home lands as scholars,doctors,authors,politicians,athletes, etc..I will say Paul Bundi has an honour as a author ,scholar and a doctor — Preceding unsigned comment added by Erigits (talk • contribs) 10:01, 30 August 2015 (UTC)
 * Copying comment from article creator on Paul Bundi:
 * Delete. International fame is not necessary — I would settle for significant coverage of the subject (not by the subject) in major national-level outlets such as the Daily Nation. But even that much seems to be lacking. The comment by above that we should have articles on "any hero who is recognized in his or her family" is obviously far from the standards we have set here. —David Eppstein (talk) 19:16, 7 September 2015 (UTC)
