Had marked this for notability last week, and hoped it would be improved. A single ref was added, which has a very brief mention of the person. There is not enough in-depth coverage to meet WP:GNG, so it hinges on whether his position as president of ECSACOP satisfies WP:NSCHOLAR. Onel5969 TT me 12:07, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Thank you @Reidgreg for a more fair assessment.
@Randykitty: @Headbomb: This is what I meant by, "I wonder why I often encounter resistance whenever I create articles about clearly notable African entities. It's extraordinary as conventional Wikipedia notability criteria no longer apply. These articles are nominated for deletion or deemed not to be suitable as stand-alone articles."
Gangaidzo meets at least four different notability criteria: (1) president of ECSACOP (2) editor-in-chief of an established academic journal, which has been in operation for nearly 70 years (3) former president of the Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe (4) impact by number of citations. Any one of these alone would be sufficient for Wikipedia notability. I will provide an additional example: Suzanne Crowe is president of the Medical Council of Ireland which makes her rightly notable. In addition to Godfrey Muguti, former president of COSECSA, the next page I was going to create was Medical and Dental Practitioners Council of Zimbabwe, which was established over 100 years ago - in 1905. Such organizations are notable e.g. Uganda Medical and Dental Practitioners Council. Even if one uses independent sources from reputable organizations, it is still not enough. It is thus clear to me that content related to Africa is not particularly welcome on Wikipedia as it's notability is immediately questioned despite easily meeting the criteria. Various tags are then applied to the article(s).
I should not be surprised, after all there is systemic bias on Wikipedia.
BW and good luck.
