This article is poorly written along with only TWO citations and references. I however I am free to change my opinion if it becomes a better article. SoyokoAnis -  talk  14:06, 4 March 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep This article was nominated for deletion only seven minutes after it was created, so of course it's not going to be in perfect shape. Deletion should be considered after conducting a thorough WP:BEFORE search and examining the entire extent of the subject's coverage in reliable sources, rather than just what's currently in the article. Regardless, this subject meets WP:GNG criteria, with significant coverage in the news, even prior to reports about her recent death. DanCherek (talk) 14:25, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment But if you're going through the New pages feed and find this article of course you're gonna mark it. SoyokoAnis  -  talk  14:35, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Deletion is based on notability, and article content does not determine notability. DanCherek (talk) 14:45, 4 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Delete Verifiability says that articles must have sourcing enough to verrify their claims and to demonstrate notability. If people do not want articles nominated for deletion when they create them, they should incubate them through to article for ceation process, which is really how we should make all new articles come to be. We have no tolerance for junk articles to improve, we delete them based on their current junk status. The toleration of the past gave us articles like Barahir sitting with 0 sources for 15 years. Down that way lies madness, it must be stopped.John Pack Lambert (talk) 16:56, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep I'm horrified at how quickly this article was nominated (while I am still expanding on it). Karima Brown is extremely well-known in South Africa - as a journalist, as someone who took Julius Malema to court and won, and as someone notable who died today from COVID-19! I was actually surprised she did not already have an article - there's a whole lot written about her in the EFF article. It has has already been peer-reviewed as a stub article. --Elinor.Dashwood (talk) 18:50, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep She was a well known South African journalist. Definitely notable and article on her was also created on the Afrikaans Wikipedia.Sobaka (talk) 19:14, 4 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Obviously notable.--Ipigott (talk) 10:28, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep: Notable journalist and political commentator. I was busy translating the article from Afrikaans Wikipedia before I realised that this existed. There would be no stubs if the nominating criteria were used for deletion. Let’s hope this nomination hasn’t had a chilling effect on potential editors. Park3r (talk) 12:08, 5 March 2021 (UTC)
 * Keep per Park3r and others.  Lugnuts  Fire Walk with Me 20:53, 6 March 2021 (UTC)
