Keep, two books cited in the article presumably describe the subject in quite some detail, and they both seem to be reliable sources.--Ymblanter (talk) 15:35, 5 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep - the various other books with content about Alikonia that can actually be read all only have fairly minimal detail. However, as well as the two in-article, there are a couple of others with snippet previews and potentially additional content about it. Nosebagbear (talk) 15:54, 6 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Comment, this play is arguably by Tanzania's foremost Swahili playwright (so criteria 5 of WP:BOOKCRIT may apply?), and, along with Wakati Ukuta, is studied in school (page 61 of Ebrahim Hussein: Swahili Theatre and Individualism) (criteria 4), ps. not sure that Alikiona translates as "Consequences", the book Swahili Beyond the Boundaries (page 34) has it as "She Learned Her Lesson", while gtranslate goes with "He Saw It", pps. it was published in Michezo ya kuigiza, not sure why the Hussein article has it separate from that, ppps.:)) funny that Kinjeketile doesnt have its own article, his more well known work?
