Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Daniel Kanu
one article in Allafrica.com does not give a person automatic notability. The subject of the BLP article, when he's being mentioned in a source, merely receives a passing mention (e.g. "Daniel Kanu from YEAA says...."). That's |not enough to write BLP article in Wikipedia about that person. The criteria for |notability for people are very clear. Amongst others it is required that |''"...the depth of coverage in any given source must be substantial..."'',  and that |''"...trivial coverage of a subject by secondary sources may not be sufficient to establish notability..."''. Furthermore,  goes on to explain that "''...'''"Significant coverage"''' means that sources address the subject directly in detail..."''. The few so-called independent sources provided in this Afd do not address the subject in detail. If there are reliable sources to establish notability for Kanu, then those who want to keep this article should please provide them. Stating that "...we can't actually access them..." is not a valid excuse, because if this excuse should make the day, then there'd be hundreds of non-notable BLP articles which could be created based on this excuse. Either there are reliable sources which establish Kanu's notability, or there are none. Presently, there are none
