  • Delete does not have sourcing to meet GNG.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:00, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete per nom. Youtube sources aren't good enough, the rest aren't much either. Oaktree b (talk) 16:41, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete Current souces doesn't passes WP:GNG. Pilean (talk) 21:57, 6 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep I have added sources, and edited the text so that it is more neutral. She has been recognized in her country as a significant leader in women's education. She has been written about in the Tanzanian press but it is difficult to access the original sources because they are not digitized. PMCH2 (talk) 16:10, 12 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Suggest moving to draft rather than delete to allow more time to establish notability using more reliable sources. – 108.56.139.120 (talk) 20:21, 14 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep It's hard to determine notability for people outside of the anglo-sphere, so notability of figures should be considered through that lens. She was named Woman of the Year by the prime minister of tanzania, and was a member of the Tanzanian Parliament, inherently meeting NPOL. Also given a lifetime achievement award by Tanzanian Women of Achievement. This search indicates a fair bit of coverage in the Tanzania Daily News (via AllAfrica.com and ProQuest), including an article describing her as a Prominent retired teacher and former Member of Parliament Maria Kamm. She also comes up in books ([1], [2]) and is even mentioned in American media ([3], [4]). I think the summation of the coverage is enough to meet GNG. There is likely more coverage in Swahili. AFD is not cleanup. Eddie891 Talk Work 16:47, 16 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]
