The subject of this article, while described as having achieved notable things while alive (revamping Ethiopia's education system), there is very little online that proves any of these accomplishments. Most of what I can be find related to him is his namesake dorm building at University of Sudbury. KidAd (talk) 03:16, 5 September 2019 (UTC) KidAd (talk) 03:17, 5 September 2019 (UTC)

- Speedy keep: passes WP:PROF #6 as president of two universities. StAnselm (talk) 08:22, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
- Keep. Very clearly notable. -- Necrothesp (talk) 10:54, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
- Speedy Delete without prejudice Copyright violation. The text of the article aligns almost word for word with the quoted source. He does seem to have been president of the University of Sudbury and president of the University College of Addis Ababa, which probably satisfies WP:NPROF#6.

- I've submitted a G12 nomination - for some CSDs just waiting an AfD out is appropriate, but for copyright we should use it, particularly as it would otherwise be 6 days. He is, of course, notable. Nosebagbear (talk) 13:23, 5 September 2019 (UTC)
- Oh, I completely agree that an article on him is completely justified. I just wish I had remembered to grab the listed source before the deletion went through (since it was a decent starting source). In looking things up, I found information on his controversial administration of Addis Adaba University, though I suspect we need to get the sources out of what I found[1].
