Lots of passing mentions and social media references but no actual reliable sources that show the subject passes WP:GNG or WP:MUSICBIO. Maybe there is material in his national media but someone needs to cite itit can not be assumed. J bh Talk  14:00, 19 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Withdrawn by nominator - The newly provided African Voices documentaries are god enough to Keep the article. Integrating the material into the article would differentiate it from the vast number of minor musicians and bands we see here. J bh  Talk  00:01, 22 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak keep per sources shown by User:Northamerica1000. - would you have any comment about those sources? Together, I think, they scrape enough to pass GNG (in-depth, non-local media coverage). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here  01:54, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I withdrew my nomination and !voted 'Keep' four days ago based on a couple of in depth CNN documentaries the creator of the article found. J bh  Talk  01:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment thanks, I note that most of the sources seem to be interviews just reporting or summarising what he has said. I won't lose sleep if this goes through, but it's a bit flimsy Jimfbleak - talk to me?  06:46, 27 October 2015 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep seems known in Tanzania, how notable he is, relative to other Tanzanian musicians, is more difficult to assess. Semitransgenic  talk. 10:20, 31 October 2015 (UTC)
