 * Keep Apparently notable in the Africa. Mentioned in quite a fair share of news, including interviews with BBC, thus passing WP:GNG.   Bonkers The Clown (talk) 12:02, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - Definitely on the borderline of notability, INTERVIEWED HERE by the BBC as a Kenyan tech expert. The piece seems self-promotional but that is ultimately an editing matter. Carrite (talk) 16:00, 2 November 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per apparent failure to meet WP:BASIC, with no disrespect to Gichuru's achievements. The kenyanentrepreneur.com piece doesn't appear to be a reliable source, and the other pieces don't collectively provide enough biographical information IMO. Content is possibly a merge candidate for / (the latter was PRODed) and so could perhaps be restored in the future for merging -- Trevj (talk) 12:04, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Are you volunteering to undertake such a merge? I am prepared to restore the NaiLAB article and close this debate if you are.  Spinning  Spark  13:59, 24 November 2012 (UTC)
 * Errr... oh OK, go on then. I'll try to do so within the next week (ideally within the next day or two). If the standard merge result tag could please be placed, then there's always the chance that someone else will even get to it before me!
 * As a further note, those reading this should please be warned that I'm not volunteering to add any missing refs to the NaiLab article: assuming it still lacks sources demonstrating notability after the merge, then the standard tags will have to do. It would be appreciated if others could please seek out appropriate references (I'm not necessarily claiming that they exist as reliable sources, but it appears likely) and attempt to fix some of the shortcomings rather than hastily nominating it for deletion - that's not a comment directed at the initiator of this discussion, but a general observation on how things sometimes commence at AfD.
