| Submission declined on 1 May 2024 by Princess of Ara (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.

Rauf Adu (1943 - 2022) was a Ghanaian-born poet, musician, playwright, and critic.[1] He was of Asante heritage and was born in the Asante region of Ghana. Adu's work dealt with the African and Afro-Caribbean experience in Britain; it has been cited as part of Pan-African literature and the 1970s and 1980s dub poetry movement.[2] [3] His subversive work engaged and experimented with genre and form.[4] Adu was a politically active artist and resident of Brixton.[5]
