Not sure she meets WP:GNG. Current citations are not WP:RS, there's no WP:SIGCOV. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 03:08, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * delete nonnotable activist. Loew Galitz (talk) 03:30, 15 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Hi @Loew Galitz! I've searched for more sources and listed a number of them below, including the BBC. Would you be willing to take a look and see if that changes your mind at all? No pressure either way! Cheers! --Kbabej (talk) 21:09, 16 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Delete being from a minority group, even a targetted minority group, does not invite any special notability dispensation. Fails WP:GNG by a long way.  Velella  Velella Talk 13:37, 15 June 2022 (UTC)

 * Weak keep. First of all, my "weak keep" !vote isn't something I'm married to, and I'm completely willing to be talked out of it. As the article was originally written, it was quite awful. In looking for sources, though, there's a bit out there not currently being utilized. There's The World, which refers to her as a "queer human rights activist" and covers her moderating a panel here; Kenya Buzz (which has been used quite a number of times on English WP as a source) called her "prominent" and "one of the most forefront and vocal persons behind the Repeal 162 movement" here; the Daily Nation covers her thoughts on reproductive rights here; she helped found The Queer Republic organization, which the Document Women Project highlighted as one of their communities readers should support this month here; myGwork included her in their list of 50 LQBTQ+ women making a difference here; she is a mentor for the Global Peace Foundation, seen here; she has a short profile in the EMolemo Queer Times here; and the BBC covered her being diagnosed with social anxiety here. Overall, I think she passes GNG. --Kbabej (talk) 21:08, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Comment for purposes of notability in wikipedia, we need independent sources that describe her in reasonable detail, not just mention her, call her "prominent, or write what she said. Loew Galitz (talk) 21:19, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Thanks for replying, @Loew Galitz. I hear you. I think the first part is met - all of the sources listed above are independent of the subject. None are organizations she's founded or things she's written. As for if those sources describe her in enough detail, I'm still somewhat on the fence but think it just pushes it over (hence the "weak" part of my !vote). Thanks for taking another look - it's appreciated. --Kbabej (talk) 21:44, 16 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep.  She appears notable per the cited references. Bookworm857158367 (talk) 19:04, 23 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep - very poor article, obvs, but there do seem to be multiple independent sources amounting to GNG; examples:     . Not convinced WP:BEFORE D - "Search for additional sources, if the main concern is notability" - was conducted for this AfD. --Tagishsimon (talk) 02:09, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep, in view of all the additional sources mentioned above.--Ipigott (talk) 06:10, 25 June 2022 (UTC)
