Notwithstanding a few gossipy sources, the subject does not have any claim to notability. She went to college, got married and has a job. What's notable there? Her kinship is irrelevant per WP:NOTINHERITED. WWGB (talk) 00:52, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Notability is not inherited. Simply being the daughter of a former Zimbabwean President does not make one notable. Meatsgains (talk) 01:13, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. She was appointed to multiple government offices and received widespread coverage in news sources, both in and outside Zimbabwe.[1][2][3][4] Merely being related to a famous individual does not overrule the fact that she meets the WP:GNG. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 20:56, 27 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]
- Those cites merely confirm that Bona studied in Hong Kong, and was appointed to the Censorship Board (a low-profile bureaucratic role). What is notable there? WWGB (talk) 01:11, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  - Usually when someone enrolls in a university in Hong Kong, The Daily Telegraph does not write a piece on them, Hong Kong legislators will not call for their enrollment to be reviewed, and students in that person's home country do get beaten up by police while protesting that enrollment. Similarly the fact that her appointment to a relatively low-profile bureaucratic role gets coverage from Voice of America, indicates that the person being appointed is notable, because it's certainly not the position in and of itself that conveys notability. The sources in the article as it stands now clearly show that Bona Mugabe meets WP:GNG. Yes she managed to achieve that through the brutal regime of her father, but she has met it nonetheless. ---- Patar knight - ^chat/_{contributions} 02:27, 3 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Keep per Petar knight. She has gotten a lot of press coverage. That satisfies GNG. Clarityfiend (talk) 02:46, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Keep has received enough media attention over a non-trivial period of time to meet GNG. f e minist 10:21, 5 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
