As a the mayor of a small town and a failed candidate for office, Tsomondo does not meet WP:NPOL. I was not able to locate any coverage of her that meets GNG - just trivial mentions in articles about other subjects. (And going by the username, if the account that created the article isn't a COI, I'll eat my hat). ♠PMC♠ (talk) 21:35, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. Since ZANU-PF has been the ruling party in Zimbabwe since 1980, a member of the party's central committee is arguably something like a cabinet minister in other countries. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:42, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think so. According to this article, there are about 300 people on the Central Committee, which hardly seems equivalent to a cabinet, which is 10-20 people each selected to be in charge of a particular portfolio of duties. And anyway, Zimbabwe has a Parliamentary Cabinet, so they're clearly different things. (Tsomondo has never been part of the Cabinet as far as I can tell.) ♠PMC♠ (talk) 22:19, 18 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Being a member of a central party committee when you have an actual cabinet and parliament is not a sign of notability, at least when that committee has 300 members. Being mayor of a suburb of an international important city is not a sign of notability either.John Pack Lambert (talk) 17:36, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - but add her name to the infobox for Norton. Furius (talk) 21:03, 19 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - mentioning her in Norton's article seems enough to me. She does not meet notability criteria for her own article (as mentioned WP:NPOL).--Melaleuca alternifolia | talk 06:03, 20 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
