Submission declined on 7 September 2024 by Sungodtemple (talk).

This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Comment: To have a separate article he should have demonstrated separate notabliity from his bands (WP:BANDMEMBER). None of the sources given meet all three criteria in WP:GNG - refs 1,2,4 are non-independent, and 3 is a passing mention. Plus, the articles focus on the band as a whole rather than Gondwe in particular. Sungodtemple (talk • contribs) 03:36, 7 September 2024 (UTC)
