The result was delete. Closing as "delete" based on the nomination and the "Comments" participation. Otherwise WP:JNN applies. There's too much of that (and also WP:ITSNOTABLE) happening in AfD discussions. 78.26 (spin me / revolutions) 22:25, 2 March 2020 (UTC)

 * Comments: I clicked on over 100 links. I found where he had a column in Off The Wall, in The Sunday Tribune. A piece contributed to Sunday World, was among a long list signing an open letter as a "poet, author and musician, Johannesburg, South Africa" from "Poets World-wide", in support of Hazara (Again, we the poets world-wide are with the Hazara), was quoted in the HeraldLive, "Anyone who claims to have not spoken to our reporter is telling a serious fib. Sunday World stands by its story" said the paper’s editor Abdul Milazi. Poems: The Poet. To read more such as Unborn Dreams, SOLD (Sounds Of the Living Dead), When We Were Free (all from "Writers Lounge" which maybe self-published?), one would have to create an account. I seemed to have missed the sources to back up "multi-award-winning poet", reviews of these, or the book. I found links to allpoetry.com but this is a self-publishing site. There is a list of poems and mention of My Dad: By South African Sons ("listed as co-authored" ) and A Shrine of Dreams, as well as the subject's music genre being "Rock art", at www.literarytourism.com but it was not a secure site. There are sources "out there" but I am not convinced the aggregate of these show enough notability for a BLP encyclopedia article. Otr500 (talk) 11:36, 28 February 2020 (UTC)
