 * Keep This is a work in progress, needs some polishing, and needs to be more than a duplicate of another website. However, African royalty gets the same over-the-top, crown-sniffing, bootlicking, ooh-you're-a-Prince treatment that the European folks are entitled to.  Actually, it probably doesn't get the same treatment as the white folk, since many of the distant cousins of the Windsors and Mountbattens are deemed entitled to their own article, and so are relatives of pretenders to the throne.  If someone were to nominate the article about a 2-year old child who is the "fifth cousin three times removed" of the Queen, there would be a snow flurry of keep votes, but this is a list of... Zulus.  The objection here is that the list has "mostly non-notable people"?  Sorry, we don't redact the content of an article simply because some of the names on their wouldn't be entitled to their own page, and we certainly don't delete an article simply because it drops some non-notable names.   Notability is a threshold requirement for having an independent article.  Whether some of the people on here wouldn't get their own page has nothing to do with whether there should be an article about the descendants of the Zulu rulers.
