Hoax? This "$800 million businessman" is not listed in the Forbes article presented as a source here [1]: Ghalib Said Mohamed is, but whether they are even related is unclear, and in any case doesn't make Swalah notable. Trying to verify that he is onwer of Silent Ocean Tanzania did not produce any useful results [2], his nickname "Counsellorsaah" gave even less results. Fram ( talk) 14:41, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Looking at the logs, it may be time to salt this article [3] and perhaps block or restrict the creator, who has done nothing so far but promote this. If it is a hoax, then we can do without them. Fram ( talk) 14:43, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete and probably salt as it's already been deleted repeatedly in various spaces. Sources don't back up its claims, and the Swahili article is only sourced by links to music services. Citing ( talk) 15:22, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete - per lack of sources, not to mention potential exaggeration/hoax issues above. I was considering AFDing this myself, truthfully. ‡ Єl Cid of Valencia talk 15:38, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
- Delete. The first ref is from Feature.fm, which is a members-only marketing platform: the second ref doesn't mention him: and the third is n Swahili, which I don't speak, but doesn't appear to mention him either. ~dom Kaos~ ( talk) 17:05, 7 August 2020 (UTC)
