Seems to fall under WP:BLPCRIME - he's been acquitted on appeal. World Defense Review article seems grounded in the conviction. National Mirror mention is 4 sentences. Nat Gertler (talk) 17:12, 16 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. The current leader of Yan Tatsine is likely to have been noted in many Nigerian sources. The riots in Kano in 1980 were very important (I was there!) and the movement continuing after the death of the leader at that time will mean that the current leader will be noticed, This is not just about a crime. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  20:48, 17 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Weak keep and cleanup There seems to be enough coverage of the subject over a sustained period of time to establish notability; I think the article just needs to be worked on to better display such notability. A lot of details are left out, including the reasons for rioting and the subject's acquittal. Returning to the sources and then adding those details should improve the article enough to establish notability more clearly. MezzoMezzo (talk) 04:25, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Weak keep and big cleanup Agreed with MezzoMezzo. I would just add that unsourced material should be removed.  In it's current form the article implies (without source or even direct accusation) that this person committed all these crimes.  E.g. the beginning of the last paragraph, 'after the deaths of several hundred...' (paraphrased).   Beaker meep  (talk) 13:42, 29 August 2014 (UTC)
