Is the twenty-n-th person to qualify as Y notable? I don't think WP:GNG is met here. Ari T. Benchaim (talk) 01:15, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep - Whether the 23rd to accomplish something is significant is a matter of debate, but given the history of South Africa and the apartheid regime, I would say that it qualifies as a WP:CCS. If it weren't for that, this article would just be essentially a resume, hence why I am on the fence. There is likely other coverage, but the best we have so far is [1] this journal (accessible via WP:TWL if you want to check it) which has 12 mentions of Xaba and goes into some detail. This may be on the borderline of notability, but I'm not completely convinced yet. ASUKITE 14:44, 2 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: while I generally agree, Dr. Xaba qualified in Scotland first, where he was at least not legally subject to any restrictions he would have been under apartheid (also, he qualified in the 1920s-1930s, apartheid began in the 1950s whereas Dr. Xaba died in 1953, which would be considered the earliest days of apartheid).
