 * Delete I don´t see any reputable references given in the article and the links given by the original editor in the discussion page is a copy of the article in wikipedia.--Juliaaltagracia (talk) 00:25, 6 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment WP:BEFORE requires nominators and commenters to make an effort to find sources before writing off an article. Just because the article's current sources aren't reliable, doesn't mean the article shouldn't be here. It could simply be a case of a newbie editor not knowing what are the proper sort of sources to use. A trout for Kittybrewster for providing a non-rationale for the nomination. - Mgm|(talk) 09:51, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment: I agree with MGM in general, but in this case, dunno. I tried to find sources, and only found two dubious ones, which I added. There are a few others like that confirm that the family was a power in the Ugandan business world at one time. Nothing to back up most of the content. Possibly the author could provide better ones. The difficulty is that back issues of Ugandan newspapers and magazines from the 1950s and 1960s are very unlikely to be online. Aymatth2 (talk) 12:22, 7 April 2009 (UTC)
