Unencyclopaedic, poorly displayed

I couldn't make heads or tails of this article. Is this about a person? Who is Wambui Otieno? The opening paragraph talks about it being a domestic house hold name. The only hint I got that this was a politician was because of the categories added at the bottom. It is all one paragraph, with no gaps, no way for someone coming across this article to make heads or tails of it.

It all looks like it is just one person's opinion about this person. I don't know where the source is, because it doesn't cite any references.

I have for the moment assumed that this article really is about someone who is worthy of an encyclopaedic article. But I am very tempted to nominate this for deletion.

I am also concerned that this article may constitute plagiarism. Dyinghappy (talk) 14:01, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

After the AFD (and a rather rude (sofixit) template) I have rewritten the article, even though I didn't want to. It seems that this person was notable for about 15 minutes in mid 2003, and hasn't done anything of note before or since. Dyinghappy (talk) 15:49, 3 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It's still a pretty weak article, even after the AFD. I hope that someone in time will help to fix it up so that it is actually usable as a reference source, or else I fear that it will simply be deleted in the future. Dyinghappy (talk) 14:10, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
