Alhaji abubakar dakingari gusau

Unreferenced and incomprehensible. Because the English is so garbled, hard to say whether it makes a credible claim for significance, but doesn't establish notability. Robert McClenon (talk) 00:00, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. My reading of the article has him as a sort of state-level politician in Nigeria, but quite possibly not an office-holder. A Google search doesn't give an awful lot of hope, as there appear to have been similar figures with similar names. Assuming none of these are this gentleman known by a nickname/shortened name, then my delete opinion is stronger. The fact that it's unreferenced is an issue as well, although it's possible that this will be a sort of "pre-internet" subject, given the era and location.

 * Weak delete: there's some references which may be talking about this person here: (401identity.com and allafrica.com), which mention "Alhaji Abubakar Dakingari" (without the "gusau"), and these sources describe him as the "former Gov. of Kebbi". However, I cannot say whether these are talking about the person in the article. Also, I cannot tell if the page is about a living or dead person, so there may be unreferenced BLP issues. Because I can't see whether notability is met or not for this person, that's why I'm leaning towards delete.  Seagull123  Φ  16:22, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Comment - It says he fought in the creation of Zamfara State and has 3 wives. The former is not in itself a credible claim of significance, and the latter is mere family detail.  Robert McClenon (talk) 23:58, 3 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete - there's no claim to notability here nor content worth keeping. Power~enwiki (talk) 04:05, 4 June 2017 (UTC)
