As per WP:NOTNEWS E Wing (talk) 12:56, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

The same article appears in Dutch and has been allowed. I do not understand why it can't be allowed in English? —Preceding unsigned comment added by RobertKa (talk • contribs) 13:02, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep - I'll say no more than to just point you here . ShoesssS Talk 13:26, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge to Assassination of Habyarimana and Ntaryamira per WP:ONEEVENT.--Boffob (talk) 14:32, 11 November 2008 (UTC) Keep because of WP:POLITICIAN but needs expansion as I argued below.--Boffob (talk) 16:14, 13 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment- I can live with Merge, however, I disagree with the thought of exclusion based on the concept of One Event. Ms. Kabuye was involved in the  assassination of the then Rwandan President, Juvenal Habyarimana and the President of Burundi, Cyprien Ntaryamira.  If we held to that concept of One Event, in these type of cases, Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby articles should also be deleted.  There claim to Notability is also based on One Event. ShoesssS Talk 14:48, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment: there is substantial info about Lee Harvey Oswald and Jack Ruby that make them deserve their own articles. There isn't much to be said about Rose Kabuye that couldn't be included elsewhere. If the article could be expanded beyond a stub, I'd reconsider my vote, but there doesn't seem to be much reliable coverage about this person beyond brief mentions of her involvement in the particular events relating to the Rwandan genocide.--Boffob (talk) 15:00, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment - I see nothing wrong with stubs :-), it allows others to expanded upon the piece readily and easily. But I take your point to heart, and will see if I can expand upon. ShoesssS Talk 15:40, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep. Her arrest has been widely covered by the international press. WP:ONEEVENT does not apply, when she is notable for two events: 1. Assassination of Habyarimana and Ntaryamira in 1994, 2. The arrest of Rose Kabuye in 2008. While the latter is related to the former, given the new diplomatic row between Rwanda and and Germany, the latter is by certainty a major event of its own. The article already has acceptable amount of content and is expandable. I would also point out that the article was nominated for deletion four minutes after it was created! It is impossible to figure out non-notability in such a short timespan, particularly given the huge number of ghits for a Rwandan person. Julius Sahara (talk) 16:07, 12 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Flies through WP:POLITICIAN as mayor of Kigali and a member of the Rwandan parliament. Phil Bridger (talk) 19:15, 12 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Keep per Phil Bridger (good catch) ! Christophe Neff (talk) 20:22, 14 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. She would be marginally notable in my opinion based purely on being a female veteran of 4 years of war, rising to the rank of lt colonel, and being one of the top five most influential woman veterans in the country, one part of the government gender initiative.  Add in any of her other positions, even President of the Kigali AIDS Commission to take perhaps the least of them, and it's no longer marginal. - BanyanTree 00:19, 15 November 2008 (UTC)
