Mwangi Mukami

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This admirable individual does not meet Wikipedia's notability criteria. The only thing close to independent third-party coverage about him is a non-news video piece in the NYT. That piece (I reviewed it in its entirety) doesn't give any details of the subject whatsoever--it is more along the lines of an interview. None of the other sources cited amounts to significant third-party coverage, either, nor was I able to identify any after good faith news, web, and book searches.

 * Keep - he and his work were recognised by the Georgia General Assembly (see ). I guess this is the political equivalent of a bronze medal or an Booker prize nomination, making him notable. - TB (talk) 15:30, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * It isn't a notable award. One way this can be demonstrated is that it wasn't noted &mdash;not in any newspapers that can be searched in the Google archives, not in any newspapers that can be searched in Factiva, and not in the Atlanta Constitution. More generally, this isn't the sort of recognition that is subject to senate debate, gubernatorial approval, or any other sort of rigorous vetting. This sort of thing generally comes at the request of a constituent or the direct attention of an individual who happens to serve in the state legislature. Bongo  matic  16:33, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

 * KEEP, his national status and recognition by the US embassy and other organisations is enough. I'll add that the article needs a fair bit of work and better referencing. This should be undertaken soon. (Milestokilo (talk) 13:17, 15 February 2010 (UTC)) — Milestokilo (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.
 * NOTE, the article creator should come back and start doing the references and tidy up sooner than later. Thanks (Milestokilo (talk) 13:20, 15 February 2010 (UTC))
