John Kane-Berman

No indication that Kane-Berman is notable. The article doesn't cite any independent sources, and I couldn't find any. He's an active commenter on South African politics and society, but I see no indication anybody has written about Kane-Berman in some detail. Huon (talk) 21:41, 21 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Just about every result I'm getting are for people named John Kane or John Berman! Wgolf (talk) 22:07, 21 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Weak Delete: I'm seeing the same thing as the nom: a lot of pieces by Kane-Berman, but jack about him. Even if he's in the South African Who's Who, WW has become such a bucketshop in recent decades that it cuts no notability ice with me.  Nha Trang  Allons! 16:22, 22 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Weak delete. I found a speech and some essays by him, but only a single blog that mentions him and his work. I'm surprised, since he's in a Who's Who, how little there is available. Bearian (talk) 19:41, 29 April 2015 (UTC)
