I'm not seeing anything to make him notable. The majority of the references are to interviews of him, which aren't reliable and there are only passing mentions of him. He seems to be famous for wearing a towel to an awards ceremony and being gay He has "60 000 followers on Instagram, over 70 000 likes on Facebook, over 900 subscribers on YouTube" - doesn't sound enough to make him notable Gbawden (talk) 06:41, 30 January 2018 (UTC)

The page's references include items on People.co.za, Sowetanlive.co.za, and Huffingtonpost.co.za, but his artistic and performance output is at an early stage. How does this compare with notability for his peers in other Global South countries? N.B. I'm an inclusionist and pro-diversity, so am inclined to keep. -- Deborahjay (talk) 13:43, 7 February 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Re: this young entertainer gaining visibility in popular culture, social media - the matter of notability rests on:
 * who hires him and broadcasts or otherwise publishes his work, rather than self-promotion (e.g. uploading videos to YouTube),
 * [perhaps] being gay in the music and entertainment industries in South Africa is fairly exceptional thus ups his visibility as a personality.
