Subject of article lacks in-depth significant coverage in reliable sources independent of him. A before search did show this source (which isn’t really great as it reads like an announcement) asides that the other hits are blatantly unreliable as they are user generated material, sponsored posts, or interviews, which are not independent of him hence all unreliable. This is a WP:GNG & WP:ANYBIO fail. Celestina007 ( talk) 15:43, 8 October 2020 (UTC) reply

• Keep - Hi team, i am responsible for the creation of Senzo Mazingiza article, the article is notable but it only fits for WP:SPORTSPERSON the problem is i did'nt know how to cite from the the reliable sources because, i was wondering how could a person like him culd still be no notable, until some admin give me refe to read WP:NPERSON and WP:42 So he asked me to read them and understand so that i could provide 3 sorces that team will use to establish the Article. You may Google him and see, because he is very popular in Africa because of his Sports experience since 2000 and he had helped a lot of International Football team to achieve in many League's. The guy he is from South Africa but where the 2010 FIFA WORLD CUP took place and he was selected as member of committee for the preperations. THANKS 4realtz ( talk) 10:21, 9 October 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep - seems to be the subject of a lot of coverage and not just for one event; the article is promotional but that, in itself, is not a reason for deletion News 24 Sowetan Live The Citizen BBC Kawowo Goal.com On their own, these sources aren't that much but the sheer number of articles, both recent and old, would be enough for an article in my view Spiderone 22:03, 12 October 2020 (UTC) reply
• Keep. There is some reliable independent coverage on him, as well as numerous other not-so-reliable mentions. To me, he passes the WP:BASIC bar. Walwal20 ^{talk ▾ contribs} 04:59, 14 October 2020 (UTC) reply

• Delete - Fails GNG. His hirings/resignations are routine coverage no matter how many sites write about them. Dougal18 ( talk) 15:06, 19 October 2020 (UTC) reply
