Appears to be a term which may benefit being transcluded to Wiktionary. Wikipedia is not a dictionary Nördic   Nightfury  14:26, 28 December 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete: Poor sources and NOTADICTIONARY. KGirlTrucker81huh? what I've been doing 15:51, 28 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep The article as written isn't very good and has some excessively close paraphrasing from one of the sources. However, a brief search shows several more academic sources that could be used to re-write this article.  This is basically Zambia's equivalent to Brazil's Favelas, and there is a unique history behind these neighborhoods and how they formed. There is definitely potential here. Maybe I'll get around to working on it in the next few days, but even if I don't, the article being poorly written is not a valid deletion rational. Meanwhile, here are some sources that can/should be used to improve it.

 * Keep, per User:ONUnicorn. -- do ncr  am  19:40, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 *  Delete Keep or Redirect to Slum and add to the list of words meaning 'Slum' because of NOTADICTIONARY. The ability to find sources that use the Zambian word for Slum seems a poor reason for a separate article.  Although there are articles about the slums of various places.  Usually the slums of individual cities. Gab4gab (talk) 19:55, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Yes, it doesn't seem to have anything near the distinct notability of, say, Favela. I'd say redirect per Gab4gab. Shawn in Montreal (talk) 23:07, 31 December 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment I have entirely rewritten the article using the sources I mentioned above (except one that wasn't relevant and the journal article that I am working on getting access to) and a few other sources. It is no longer a dicdef.  I would encourage  and  to take a look at the revised article and reconsider their delete !votes in light of the revisions. ~  ONUnicorn (Talk&#124;Contribs) problem solving 22:04, 4 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment I'm ready to change my vote to keep given the re-write. I'd prefer a English language title such as 'Zambian slums', but that's just me.   Gab4gab (talk) 04:27, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep: Late to the party, but with the added sources I find this notable for inclusion. GauchoDude (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2017 (UTC)
