Briggs Family

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The family as an entirety fails WP:GNG. None of the sources listed provide in-depth coverage of the family. Instead, most are passing mentions, some are interviews, and the rest are WP:SPS from one family member. In fact, Ann Kio appears to be the only Briggs with some claim to notability.

The article should in fact not be deleted, there are many prominent African families and Briggs family seems to be one of the few that has any sort of documentation of their members notability, notability of an African family name in something other than sports. Articles and records in second and third world countries are hardly ever written let alone kept properly, so the mere that the family have any notability not just in Africa but outside the continent is reason enough the keep this article.
