Unreferenced biography. Please delete. AlioTheFool 22:33, 3 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep Article is apparently in the middle of an overhaul, and there's been tons of references added. Looks OK to me on a quick glance.

Fine if you want to fix it.
http://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Leonard_Zhakata&oldid=276880483 is what it looked like. If no one is giving references I am going to AFD. If you want to source it fine go ahead and we'll keep it. In its state it deserved to be deleted and I'm not going to fix unrefed biographies if people won't fix them. This article has been like this for years I think. But if you want to withdraw fine, b/c it won't be delted now. AlioTheFool 00:30, 5 April 2009 (UTC)reply
Keep my impression of the google hits is that this person is notable, however, I have no idea about Zimbabwe books and web content, and I would not be at all surprised in ability to verify much of it is not available online. This is exactly the sort of material which needs offline sourcing to help rectify systemic bias and make the internet a better place by having material not currently available online.
