Person does not meet the notable people standard and died in 2017. Ryanharmany (talk) 14:10, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete or Redirect to Opuwo as creator. I started this article 15 years ago when Wikipedia's standards for notability were different than today's consensus. I agree that this article doesn't meet notability guidelines.--User:Namiba 14:25, 8 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

How is the death of a person a reason to delete? On the notability claim, I concur, delete. A redirect won't add value because de Villiers is only mentioned as a notable person of that town, a claim that would have to be removed if this AfD succeeds. --Pgallert (talk) 11:48, 9 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: Although (1) its plausible this entry is of value to Namibian Wikipedians, (2) the claims contained in the article are supported by reliable sources, and (3) retaining this entry would go assist in addressing WP's systematic biases ...

... the lack of coverage, both in-depth and assessed collectively means that this entry doesn't meet GNG or SNG SIGCOV requirements

Regrettably this is an instance where applying guidelines requires deletion, irrespective of other considerations Jack4576 (talk) Jack4576 (talk) 01:36, 14 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
