Daniel M'Mburugu
Short-lived fame, no evidence he otherwise meets bio, delete --Peta 03:38, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. He did something notable, and this was recorded by reliable sources. Sometimes a single act is enough to establish someone's notability; other times, a whole career is required. --TruthbringerToronto (Talk | contribs) 03:49, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Wikipedia isn't wikinews, or a collection of random trivia. --Peta 04:14, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, passing news item. Gazpacho 04:23, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete I've never for a moment liked the "100 Year Rule", but here, I'd go for the "100 Second Rule". In 100 seconds, I won't remember this highly trivial, non-notable news story. 181 total and 56 unique Google hits shows that, while the mainstream media picked this story up for about a minute, nobody really cared. -- Kicking222 04:46, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete his 15 minutes of fame have long since passed. Resolute 05:31, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. Another instance of news being conflated with notability. Eusebeus 15:15, 12 October 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete.  He does not satisfy the "multiple non-trivial published works" criterion because the coverage is trivial (appearing in newspapers only as a brite) and because "Multiple similar stories describing a single day's news event only count as one coverage."

 * Delete per nom and Pan Dan's summary of the relevant matters. JoshuaZ 21:01, 13 October 2006 (UTC)
 * An awesome story, but delete as not sufficiently notable.--Cúchullain t/ c 19:24, 14 October 2006 (UTC)
