Only one reference on the page and it's a dead link to a bio of her from the government organization she works for. A quick search shows a decent amount of articles about and by a South African woman named Rachel Adams regarding AI (here, here, and here) but this seems to be a completely different woman who just happens to share a name and nationality. benǝʇᴉɯ 04:30, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Keep She doesn't "work for a government organization", she's an elected member of the National Assembly of South Africa, the parliament of South Africa. Easily meets WP:NPOL. Quite easy to find the correct link. AusLondonder (talk) 04:55, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep as parliamentarian, but the article really needs more info e.g. her terms. Geschichte (talk) 09:49, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Delete: Lots of coverage for the AI person as mentioned, I don't see anything about a politician. Happy to revisit if we find new sources. Oaktree b (talk) 12:10, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
She certainly exists, she has a profile on the parliamentary website, she's also in a list of candidates elected in 2019. AusLondonder (talk) 14:05, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I know the person exists, we don't have any extensive sourcing about them. Oaktree b (talk) 20:08, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. She is a member of a national parliament which meets WP:NPOL and WP:GNG. The article is poorly written, but WP:IMPROVE.--Mpen320 (talk) 14:35, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Here is another variant of webpage regarding her parliamentary duties. Geschichte (talk) 16:52, 30 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per above discussion - she's a parliamentarian. NHCLS (talk) 13:58, 1 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep per NPOL. It would be nice to add some biographical details and a table of election results, but AfD is not for fixing short stubs into better articles. Bearian (talk) 02:32, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - Meets NPOL as a member of the SA National Assembly. I found a couple extra secondary sources that mention her in passing. I think the difficulty that the original editor ran into was there is an MP named Rachel Cecilia Adams (subject of the article) and then there is Dr. Rachel T. Adams (the AI expert), and there was confusion there. Bkissin (talk) 18:34, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy Keep. As others have noted, the subject clearly meets criterion#1 of WP:NPOL. Sal2100 (talk) 20:19, 4 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy keep: It doesn't take a lot of effort to realise that the subject satisfies WP:NPOL. Think before pulling the trigger. Obi2canibe (talk) 13:44, 6 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
