 * Keep on the basis of the sources I've just added to the article. She seems to be a major figure in African literature, both as a writer and poet, and as an academic and literary theorist. She clearly meets WP:GNG due to the nontrivial coverage about her in multiple independent sources. —David Eppstein (talk) 06:36, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has the nominator actually looked at the 150 Google Books search results? The second one of them starts its coverage of the subject with the words "the first poet of real significance to have emerged in the late sixties is also Zaire's first woman writer, Clémentine Nzuji" and goes on to discuss the subject at length: far from a passing mention. Scrolling down through the results finds plenty more coverage. Phil Bridger (talk) 22:58, 5 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep. The evidence above seems to suffice. Xxanthippe (talk) 04:58, 6 December 2009 (UTC).
