Dissolution Grip: New enough (created a week before nom, so that's fine), long enough (~2700). Article well cited throughout to solid sources. No neutrality/close paraphrasing or copyright violation issues noted. Hook fact is interesting and is cited in this article; referenced to Schoop 2023 (ref 1): "'Along A Wall' bookends the album with a locational recording captured at Kamaru's estate in Nairobi. The original track was recorded in an old shack, as the building was being shaken to its core by winds." No image. ~~QPQ not done.~~ Other notes: "His grandfather, also named Joseph Kamaru, was a well-known benga musician.[1] Kamaru is known for being prolific and working with field recordings." << Might be useful to add "The younger" to the start of the second sentence to clarify which Kamaru it's referring to, since it sounds like both artists were prolific! —⁠Collin^{t c} 23:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
KMRU: New enough (converted from redirect on August 3), just long enough (~1560). Also well-cited throughout to reliable sources and no close paraphrasing concerns I could discern nor copyvio issues detected by Earwig. Hook fact is not mentioned in this article but that's contextually fine. No BLP or non-neutrality issues. No pic (though this YouTube video is licensed CC-BY if you wanted to do a screengrab and upload to Commons - let me know if you do!). ~~QPQ still needs doing.~~ Other note: "After his death in 2018, the younger Kamaru reissued some of his album" >> should this be "albums"? —⁠Collin^{t c} 23:48, 4 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
