This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Zimbabwe. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Zimbabwe|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Zimbabwe. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Africa.

Mukuru Money Transfer (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Fails WP:NCORP/WP:ORGCRIT. All citations in the article are routine trade or primary pieces – ITWeb, *The Fintech Times*, Africa.com, *The Herald* (Zimbabwe, and the company’s own site – which are either self‑published, press‑release rewrites, or brief mention blogs. The isolated *BusinessLIVE* interview is likewise promotional and event‑based. Additional news‑database searches uncover only standard launch notices, licence approvals, sponsorship deals, and funding announcements, all classed as WP:ROUTINE. No source offers the sustained, in‑depth, independent secondary coverage required by policy. AndesExplorer (talk) 19:10, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As a city councilor in a midsize Zimbabwean city, this subject does not qualify under WP:NPOL. I do not believe he qualifies under WP:GNG or WP:NBIO either, since the only substantial news coverage he received during his life (see VOA from my BEFORE search) is related to his 2013 assault, making it a case of WP:BIO1E. The rest of the coverage is WP:ROUTINE brief mentions in the context of his local elected office. Dclemens1971 (talk) 01:20, 3 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete on the grounds of WP:TNT for now, there might be notability. Inappropriate sources used, many sources don't mention Tagwirei or just have a passing mention, unnecessary commentary and promotional language (likely LLM) used in the page, MOS issues. Hmr (talk) 01:57, 2 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Regarding the entry for Kudakwashe Regimond Tagwirei, I request that it not be deleted. It's important to note that his sanctioning was reportedly based on the Sentry Report. However, the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) report, available at [1], presented different findings which were not considered in the Sentry Report something that I have referenced well.

  I will adjust the tone to ensure neutrality and balance the information presented.

  Additionally, I plan to remove a couple of categories from the page.

  The Sentry Report, originating from an NGO, has been cited as a basis for US sanctions. Conversely, the Parliamentary Accounts Committee, along with the Land Tenure System Implementation Committee, did not find him guilty in their report.

  It's also important to provide a platform for people with no voice like him that may not be readily available elsewhere. As a volunteer, I believe this platform can facilitate a broader understanding and allow for critique from other editors.

  Further relevant information includes his involvement with the Arundel Hospital, which reportedly serves the poor, his membership in the WEF ([2]), and his ownership of Sakunda Holdings, which has partnered with Swiss-based Trafigura. While the Command Agriculture program he initiated faced challenges, it is credited with contributing to wheat sufficiency in Zimbabwe. Zvazviri (talk) 15:02, 5 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
