Former local activist, fails to meet WP:GNG or the proposed criteria under Wikipedia:Notability (politics), and part of a pattern of WP:UNDUE coverage given to this organisation. The source used to support the claim that she is "well-known" is a book written by her organisation's website manager (see Abahlali baseMjondolo#List of notable Abahlali baseMjondolo activists).

Keep - article certainly needs work but there some reliable sources indicating notability such as the Pithouse journal article, the CNN piece and the Mail & Guardian 2012 women of the year page. Mujinga (talk) 15:21, 23 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I suspect that the MG was either self-nominated or heavily loaded ideologically, and it looks like the organisation included other members on the list: see Bandile Mdlalose. I wouldn't consider that Mail and Guardian website to not be a WP:RS, and I vaguely recall previous deletion discussions discounting those MG lists. The CNN article is a passing reference. The journal is also fairly obscure. Park3r (talk) 01:47, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comment and this from a local source [1], she's a real person, but I'm not seeing GNG. I'b be willing to !keep if we can find a few more sources, the ones we have just aren't good enough. Oaktree b (talk) 04:03, 5 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
