List of wealthiest people in Uganda

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Article seems to violate WP:LISTS - essentially it is sourced from a single source, and is comprised of many many redlinked individuals and a very few bluelinked individuals. The only comparable article that I could find was List of wealthy Canadians, which by contrast is almost entirely bluelinked. I'm not really sure how to handle it, whether RFC would be a better venue for it than AFD.-- Syrthiss (talk) 12:49, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Apart from the fact that the author's only other contributions have been to introduce a raft of pages that have been speedied/tagged to be speedied, this list seems to consist of almost entirely non-notable people.  Like you said, the List of wealthy Canadians has almost all blue links and is well-sourced, but this is neither.  The Blade of the Northern Lights  ( 話して下さい)  14:21, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, I believe you have confused the most recent contributor with the article creator. The creator has a number of valid edits over the years. Syrthiss (talk) 15:13, 19 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Indeed, I stand corrected on that. However, my other points stand. The Blade of the Northern Lights  ( 話して下さい)  18:20, 19 August 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Full of redlinked names. Also the classifications are arbitrary and constitute OR. -- Lord Pistachio  talk 08:35, 21 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep  our non-inclusion of the individuals is a matter of personal bias; they are as important in their own country as a list of the wealthiest people in any other country;  this is a good start of covering them, for the red links should probably be filled in.

 * Weak keep although I can't really argue that there is essentially one source for this list. Still, there is a systemic bias issue here, and the presence of red-links actually can help the development of articles on these people which is one of the purposes of a list.

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete. This article is so dependent on a single source, including adopting the categorization of the listed people used by that source, as to risk being a copyright violation. I might reconsider if the article were rewritten so as to attempt to actually rank who are the richest people in Uganda. --Metropolitan90 (talk) 05:05, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep Clearly defined list - tag it for more refs and move on.  Lugnuts  (talk) 07:08, 27 August 2010 (UTC)
