Subject of article is a non notable socialite who lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources hence falls short of WP:GNG A before search shows him mentioned majorly only in primary sources. Per WP:ANYBIO also he doesn’t seem to be notable. Celestina007 22:11, 6 August 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete since our subject ("founder of a money spending group, based in South Africa but comes to Uganda every end of the year to throw parties") abjectly fails WP:NPERSON. Description of subject and his major claim to notability is that he's a "socialite," with, however, an extremely lite support for the claim. Even the references that are invoked to prop up the subject's worthiness admit as much, i.e. "Katsha is not known much on the socialite list," in here. All the invoked sources, in any case, or those that can be scared up through online searches, are thinner than an summer suit's fabric: A bunch of advertorials (such this where we're questioned in the prose "Will Katumba satisfy the hungry money hunters who will storm the club expecting to pick free money in a night?" or this, with no quote necessary, or this); some interviews in gossip magazines, such as this one; then a flock of dead links on which we better tread carefully, e.g. here, here, etc. This is but another vain attempt at social promotion, unworthy of an article. -The Gnome (talk) 09:30, 13 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Keep The coverage in the Ugandan news demonstrates that the subject is notable,,  21:41, 13 August 2020 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by UGAWOOD2020 (talk • contribs)
 * UGAWOOD2020 is the creator of the article. -The Gnome (talk) 08:02, 14 August 2020 (UTC)
 * More advertorials. Still, Wikipedia is not a gossip publication; at least, not yet. -The Gnome (talk) 08:05, 14 August 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
