 * Delete - non-notable union. The academic staff union might be slightly more notable and that does not have an article. --Bduke (talk) 03:49, 26 May 2023 (UTC)
 * Keep Existence or non-existence of other articles has no bearing on notability of this subject. UBNASU was formed in 1989 and has been involved in mutliple strike actions and appeared in the news as a result of those actions for a period of more than two decades. Gadzani Mhotsha, former General Secretary of UBNASU, was also GS of the BFTU. Referenced in the ICTUR trade unions of the world encyclopedia (key reference text of trade unions globally) and the FES surveys of Botswana labour movement.

 * Keep Generally, ICTUR is an important Trade union Encyclopedia, particularly for trade unions in the global south who may be not have as many English sources nor digitally accessible sources which is important for countering Systemic bias. That said, Goldsztajn has shown other existing sources even exist online.

 * Comment Had not realised, but now appears to be called the University of Botswana Staff Union (see the 2018 FES Botswana report). There's frequent news reporting of disputes at UB featuring UBSU in last two years: UB staff, management hit deadlock as strike rages on, UB Chancellor under fire from academic, support staff over pay hike, UBASSU ponders post strike move, BOFEPUSU With UB Workers Against Norris, UBASSU, UBSU to down tools again.

 * Keep but rename It is a relevant union, it's just simply been renamed since. With significant reporting, which Goldsztain notes. I think the most appropriate action would be to just add a section noting its historical name and the name change. — Preceding unsigned comment added by LoomCreek (talk • contribs) 21:43, 27 May 2023 (UTC)
