This person's only claim to notability appears to be that his parents are notable (Nelson Mandela and his first wife, Evelyn Mase). But nothing about he himself comes close to meeting the GNG. Gronk Oz (talk) 00:47, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

As I said when I contested speedy deletion, if the subject is not independently notable then this should be merged/redirected to one his parents' articles rather than deleted. Phil Bridger (talk) 08:00, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to the parent's articles, preferably Nelson Mandela. Not notable on his own, but worth a passing mention in his father's article. Tosi | ^t/_c 16:12, 25 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect per TotalSilence. Ceethekreator (talk) 15:36, 26 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
