Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Malik Abongo Obama
or '''merge'''. This article is really amusing. What exactly makes Malik Abongo Obama notable? 5 out of 8 citations (63% of the article) are from Barack Obama's political autobiography where acknowledging all of your relatives (real and imagined) seems to be the publishing flavor of the month. The MSNBC article is the only |reliable source about ''him'' found in the article meeting our notability requirements, and that (again) is published solely because of Barack Obama's presidential candidacy. There is nothing in that article of any substance. Instead, we're told fluff like he lives in Kenya (so what?) In it we learn other really notable things, too, like "''Malik and his brother Barack were best men at each other's weddings''" (and...?),  that he has "interaction with Barack Obama" *gasp!*, and  (the funniest of all), some miscommunication about whether Malik may or may not think that his half-brother Barack is (or was) a Muslim *gasp!* (Incidentally, that last source -- Political Punch -- is a blog). I ran a LexisNexis search for major mentions that might meet our notability requirements (i.e., articles from reliable sources about ''him''). 2 articles surfaced. Both were from obscure newspapers based on the same subject. The titles say it all: "OBAMA'S BROTHER: Obama will be good for Jews 'DESPITE MUSLIM BACKGROUND" and "Malik Obama: As president, my brother would be good for Jews". Notable? C'mon
