 * Comment: I am quite unfamiliar with Wikipedia policies concerning lawyers but I will try to disclose my findings. Firstly, C.J Ecoma obviously fails WP:GNG. I have no doubt that he was indeed the Chief Justice of Cross-River State but the issue here is, do we really have enough to establish that claim? and even if we do, is that enough for a standalone article despite failing GNG? I was able to get 4 webpages (2 of which were cached) that mentions him as a former CJ in less than a sentence. I am unsure if just mentioning his surname as a former CJ is enough for a standalone article. Do we really have enough info for this article to remain? 1 and 2 Darreg (talk) 01:05, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
 * If the verifiability problem could be solved, Ecoma would pass WP:POLITICIAN. However, I'm not finding reliable sources. • Gene93k (talk) 01:35, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

 * One of the books cited in the article Bench and Bar in Nigeria isn't searchable in GBooks. Someone who has read that book should tell us exactly what it does or doesn't contain. James500 (talk) 10:51, 18 September 2014 (UTC)
