Not notable enough for inclusion Benboy00 (talk) 22:01, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: The only 3rd party coverage I could find was a passing mention in a piece on the south african times website. This is not enough under WP:NOTABLE and WP:WEBCRIT. Benboy00 (talk) 23:23, 4 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Found significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources to establish notability. Several sources listed here are lightweight, and Buzzfeed's article ludicrously written, but even that seems factual, and I think indicates some measure of notability. Established media like The Telegraph and the BBC provide more detailed coverage. The BBC sources should probably be considered a single source for purposes of notability.
