The article fails WP:NACTOR. He's only had ONE notable role as Idi Amin in Rise and Fall of Idi Amin. Sure, he played Amin again in Mississippi Masala, but that was a mere cameo. I do not object to a redirect to Rise and Fall of Idi Amin, but I leave that to consensus to decide. Hitcher vs. Candyman (talk) 18:52, 25 September 2020 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Oppose and recommend quick close. WP:NACTOR is only an indication of where a person is likely to be sufficiently notable. Olita clearly passes WP:BASIC by virtue of the "significant coverage" in the Kenyan newspapers already cited (he "will be remembered as one of Kenya’s outstanding film stars" according to his obituary in The Standard) most of which deal with him specifically. It is true that the article's tone needs work but this is not an issue to be resolved in a deletion discussion. —Brigade Piron (talk) 17:40, 26 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Keep. Beyond coverage in life, when he died he received national and international attention. as puts its: "He will be remembered as one of Kenya’s outstanding film stars for not only his sterling role Rise and Fall of Idi Amin, but also in other movies that he featured in prominently. Rise and fall of Idi Amin premiered in Kenya in 1981.".--Chuka Chief (talk) 15:53, 3 October 2020 (UTC)
