Sekou Odinga

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Based on the research I did back in the summer (I did run a batch of Google searches), Mr. Odinga does not seem to have much on him personally anywhere. He is mentioned in connection with the Brinks robbery he participated in, but that alone would seem to not be sufficient to qualify for personal notability re: WP:ONEEVENT. I'm not opposed to redirecting to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brinks_robbery_%281981%29 if that's felt to be appropriate, and I'd support such a move.

It's worth noting that while there was no consensus the last time around, there were suggestions for improvement for what was, at the time, a fairly new article. The article is no longer new, some improvement has been had, but it still doesn't seem to escape WP:ONEEVENT.

Fair disclosure: I nominated this article the first time it was up (listed as the 2nd nomination), and the 'original' first nomination was an abortive nom by me that didn't get put into AfD properly.Tyrenon (talk) 06:07, 22 January 2010 (UTC)


 * Delete per WP:N/CA as detailed in the previous discussion. Hopefully we can reach a consensus this time around.  JBsupreme (talk) 18:00, 22 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep A famous crime, and a consequently famous criminal for several different crimes--not just Brinks, but the escape of Chesimard.  that's not one-event, even if the events were not independently very highly notable,  There are 94 articles in G News archive under this name, and 169 under Nathaniel Burns. That's enough to write a very extensive article. I do hope we can reach a consensus this time, because this is exactly what o  BLP policy supports having in Wikipedia.\    DGG ( talk ) 04:01, 28 January 2010 (UTC).
 * Keep - seems notable for a long criminal career, per DGG. I would consider merging this and the other stub-length articles on similar people into Black Liberation Army, though. Robofish (talk) 17:16, 28 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep as notable but it desperately needs more references. Chutznik (talk) 02:55, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
