WP:BLP of an activist, entrepreneur and podcaster, not
properly referenced as passing notability criteria for activists, entrepreneurs or podcasters. As always, people regardless of occupation are not "inherently" notable just because they exist, and have to pass
WP:GNG on third party coverage and analysis about their work to externally validate its significance -- but five of the six footnotes here are
primary source content
self-published by organizations she was directly affiliated with, which are not support for notability at all, and the only independent third-party source is a glancing namecheck of her existence on one page of a book about her country's fight for independence, which isn't substantive enough to single-handedly vault her over GNG all by itself.
Obviously no prejudice against recreation in the future if and when she actually has enough of the correct type of sourcing, but nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt her from having to pass GNG.

- Delete per nomination. The sources invoked are extremely lame: A self-written cv; a fellowship announcement where our subject is not mentioned at all; one single mention in a book about "Africa's longest war"; then a few more routine listings. Her work seems admirable but Wikipedia is a not a political promotion vehicle either way. - The Gnome ( talk) 20:33, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
