Keep per the significant coverage in multiple independent reliable sources.  The article notes: "Ten-year-old Kwesi Boakye is an up and coming child star. From his recent staring role in Tyler Perry's new film, "I Can Do Bad All By Myself," to Ray Romano's new TNT sitcom, "Men of a Certain Age," Kwesi is adding prominent roles to his already prolific acting resume. As a child, Kwesi has appeared in television shows including, "Strong Medicine," "South Park," "Boston Legal" and "Days of Our Lives" as well as lending his voice in the Oscar, Golden Globe and Grammy award-winning animated movie, "Happy Feet.""  The article notes: "Kwesi Boakye, the youngest, is already considered a veteran in the industry with over a decade of impressive credits, known for his incredible talent and ability to morph into multiple characters, at such a young age. Holding his own with notable A-List stars on screen like Taraji P. Henson, Boakye first charmed America’s heart as Manny in Tyler Perry’s #1 blockbuster hit film I Can Do Bad All By Myself."  The article notes: "Kwesi Boakye has nabbed a huge guest-starring role on the CBS Hit TV Series, Hawaii Five-O, playing the character of Kevin Cole, son of Hip-Hop mogul turned actor, Sean ‘P-Diddy’ Combs who will portray his father Reggie Cole."  The article notes: "After making the news recently with his second consecutive appearance on Rych McCain's annual list of Hollywood's most talented kids, Ghanaian-born Hollywood child star, Kwesi Boakye is back in the news again! This time, the 11 year old actor is making a guest appearance this week on TNT's 'Southland', an American drama series created by writer Ann Biderman and produced by Warner Bros Television." There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Kwesi Boakye to pass Notability, which requires "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject".

 * Keep - I'm not necessarily convinced that each of the above constitutes "significant coverage" but the key here - I think - is that several of them refer to the subject having received coverage elsewhere. In effect, we have some coverage, and then verifiable claims that the subject has received additional coverage. Beyond that, some of the sources describe some of his appearances as significant (in their own terms). I'm not sure I agree with that assessment, but it's not up to me.
