Sekou Odinga

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

While Mr. Odinga clearly exists, we may have a case of WP:BLP1E. Finding significant coverage of him in particular, except in relation to a Brinks armored truck robbery in the early 1980s, is rather difficult (and what little exists is locked up behind subscriptions). More to the point, other than said stories, almost all coverage is highly biased/charged, and most claims other than "was convicted for involvement in the Brinks robbery" and "was picked up with about 20 other Black Panthers in 1968". I can't even confirm if he was indicted (as a third of the Panthers arrested in that incident never seem to have been charged), and as I said...almost everything out there today is very much on the fringe and is not reliable in any way.

 * Merge and redirect to Brinks robbery (1981). I found verifiable, unbiased information about him with various searches under the names "Sekou Odinga" and "Nathaniel Burns"; however, I do not believe there is enough for a stand-alone article. Location (talk) 23:15, 28 September 2009 (UTC)
