[edit] Shlobosenkosi Zulu

Weak Delete (Merge and redirect as per Hall Monitor) The only claim of notability that the article makes is being 36th in line of succession to the Zulu throne. If he were a European royal, I'd be recommending a strong delete for someone so far down the line of succession, but since the Zulu crown has a bit more political respect than the usual European monarch, I'm willing to concede the possibility that someone that far down the line of succession might be notable in the context of South Africa.

• Keep: son of the current king (even if the king has got 26 older children, some of whom already have heirs). ~ Veledan • Talk ^{+ new} 22:09, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
• Delete Merge and redirect to Goodwill_Zwelethini_kaBhekuzulu#Children - Being in-line to be head-of-state, might make somebody notable, but that's not the case here.. So, being the Zulu King's son conveys less notability than would the son of, say, Saudia Arabia's King. If he runs for any high office, holds any signficant elected office (even local), or plays any signficant political role in his community, I'll happily support an article. I am very open to changing my vote if there's some press coverage of him (beyond just stating is his school attendance), or some evidence of something he's personally done. So far, I don't see it. --rob 22:22, 29 September 2005 (UTC)
