IamMbai

Fails WP:BASIC with no supporting secondary sources. The mention of BBC writing a story about him joining forces with a medical organisation is unsupported, and a search of the BBC's sites returns no results for "Alfred Mbai" or "IamMbai". The africanexponent.com article is about an Alfred Mombo and makes no connection between this person and the Instagram fashion blogger called "IamMbai" who is this article's subject.

The article has since been rewritten to name the subject as "Alfred Mombo Mbai", but there are still no secondary sources linking "Alfred Mombo" to the Instagram/Twitter user, and I can't find any evidence of the BBC having ever reported on an Alfred Mombo either. --McGeddon (talk) 09:54, 24 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
