WP:BLP of a restaurateur, which just single-sentences the fact that she exists without saying anything about her that could actually be measured against a notability criterion. This isn't adequately referenced, either: one of the two sources here is a mere listicle in which she's one of eight businesspeople to be quoted giving soundbite about "the secret of success", thus not representing coverage that's about her for the purposes of passing WP:GNG (she has to be the subject of a piece of media reporting, not just a person who happens to be quoted in a piece of media reporting, before that piece of media reporting counts as a notability-establishing source), and while the other one is more substantive, it still takes more than just one substantive source to pass GNG. No prejudice against recreation in the future if somebody can write something much more detailed than "she exists" and reference it to quite a bit more substantive coverage than this.

 * I've added several more references. She is an Ashoka fellow, which is notable. Feel free to add more - I think she's worthy of staying in. Feel free to add more to the article. There's plenty to say in the refs I've added. Chris.let (talk) 11:39, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
 * You've added more primary sources that cannot assist notability — a person does not get over our inclusion criteria just because the claim to passing our inclusion criteria is technically referenceable to her own self-written PR "staff" profile on the website of an organization she's directly affiliated with. She gets over our inclusion criteria for being the subject of media coverage about her, not for self-authoring her own web presence. Bearcat (talk) 17:47, 17 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep Found plenty of news sources in Zambia covering her in addition to her BBC profiles. Added them to the article and expanded it. Passes GNG. Megalibrarygirl (talk) 22:29, 17 February 2018 (UTC)
