Kongolo Mwamba

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Broken-sounding, unreferenced, uncategorized, and has sat in its current state for a long time. Raymie Humbert (local radar | current conditions) 22:51, 17 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. It's a mess. Doesn't even give us an idea of when this supposedly happened. At this point fails WP:RS and WP:V. Niteshift36 (talk) 03:27, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I created the article from a Google Translation of the French Wikipedia article of the same name, and I also know that it is lacking for sources. Plus, it makes it worse when any search of Kongolo Mwamba or Nkongolo Mwamba on Google turns up very little, if no, information regarding his period of rule or lifetime, effectively placing him within the sole constraints of Congolese Luba mythology as some revered ancestor with no solid, credible information regarding his existence. I'm not saying that the article shouldn't be deleted, but I've tried to clean it up and place more information into the article. --Toussaint (talk) 05:11, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Plenty of sources can be found with a Google Books search. Phil Bridger (talk) 15:35, 18 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Phil Bridger, books sources are available and in particular, this book can confirm him as the first Luba Kingdom leader. A trip to the library is needed but the material likely satisfies WP:V and the library would have the WP:RS. -- Whpq (talk) 15:52, 19 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant coverage in reliable sources (the books pointed to above) is available establishing notability. Article need referencing and improving not deleting. Davewild (talk) 07:53, 23 June 2009 (UTC)
