Dear GoldRomean - thanks for giving me such quick feedback! I really appreciate it. I’m a first-time editor and I came to learn about this person because I was browsing through my parents’ old magazines. I forgot to add it before but I now made the magazine feature on him and the rhino movie (in the Sunday Indepdent print issue) as the primary reference. I also removed references to reviews of his published works as well as excessive awards etc. By the way, I also checked the wiki pages for Mbongeni Ngema and Darrell Roodt annd other film producers and they all used IMBd as references, so that’s why I added the IMBd databases for his personal bio and for the rhino movie too.

Your recent article submission to Articles for Creation has been reviewed. Unfortunately, it has not been accepted at this time. The reason left by CSMention269 was:
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.
