List of Zimbabweans by net worth

The two references are two forums in which the editor asked whether the information he put in the article was right, as if he had made them up. Most people disagreed with the information. God Emperor (talk) 17:39, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Delete unless better references can be found to comply with the verifiability policy. God Emperor makes an excellent point - the current sources, as well as being very dodgy forum/wiki sources to start with, actively undermine the reliability of the information themselves. ~ mazca  t 18:50, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Questionable notability and not even close to reliable sourcing. Wperdue (talk) 22:06, 7 April 2009 (UTC)wperdue


 * Delete - for failing verifiability. I've no objection tot he topic if verifiable informatin can be found, but I rather doubt it.  My own search turns up this article which is likely the closest thing to reliable sourcing as we are likely to get.  It is a news article which explicitly states "There is no official index for ranking the country's richest as very few individuals are keen to publicly declare their assets or overall wealth."  And furthermore, their methodology is "premised on available information gleaned from known investments on the stock market and elsewhere in the economy and public opinion." -- Whpq (talk) 22:35, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete, per Mazca & the rest. Yes, Robert Mugabe would likely make the list, but the other 4 names are based on the Answers.com Q & A forum which anyone can respond to without providing any proof. -- llywrch (talk) 18:09, 10 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete per above, specifically lack of verifiability; Matt Deres (talk) 22:33, 11 April 2009 (UTC)
