Speedy keep well-known singer and playwright, [1] meets WP:GNG. He is notable enough for Britannica article.[2] “One of South Africa’s most famous voices” [3]. Also WP:NOTCLEANUP. WP:BEFORE should be done before nomination, and it is extremely unlikely to have happened here. Park3r (talk) 06:03, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep The bias is strong with this one. The references are notable and a lot of digging finds coverage in non South African sources Gbawden (talk) 15:02, 1 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep, definitely. A major figure in South African music, whose shows have toured internationally, and a cultural icon in South Africa. There are sources in the article and plenty more online. At best this should be a request to improve the article references, not to an AfD. Zaian (talk) 11:31, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Keep SIGCOV found online. Nom did not do any research on the web, i.e. failing to to a WP:BEFORE. Timothytyy (talk) 13:17, 7 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
