Delete Other than being a policeman who said stuff, I'm not seeing what he's notable for. Oaktree b (talk) 15:50, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I hope this doesn't seem argumentative, but I would frame it like he is notable for being a policeman who said stuff, notable for being arrested and then killed. I see three elements (outspokenness, arrest, death) to what he is notable for. CT55555(talk) 17:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. As the subject of major national newspaper headlines for a span of multiple years I think he passes WP:GNG. As these include both the bribery allegations, the assassination, and the complications arising from the investigation of the assassination, I think WP:BIO1E is also met. However, it is very difficult for me as a foreigner to sort out what actually happened here. His case appears to be heavily propagandized as a proxy in the conflict between Islam and Christianity in Uganda e.g., and whether his role in corruption in Uganda was one of an anti-corruption fighter or someone who was himself somewhat corrupt (or as often happens both) is also unclear. So if kept, I would urge caution in sourcing, removal of editorializations from the article, and trimming to only verifiable facts (e.g. accused of bribery: true; exonerated: less clear). The difficulty of sorting out truth from propaganda in the sources we have is why my keep is only weak. —David Eppstein (talk) 21:26, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
