I don't see how this person passes WP:N. Just a run-of-the mill news story that I'd expect to see in an And finally... bulletin. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 20:38, 7 November 2012 (UTC)

• Keep - The coverage, if one time, could be characterised as a run of the mill news story. However, this is not the case with this individual. His death was widely reported: [http://allafrica.com/stories/201010040658.html AllAfrica], [http://www.nation.co.ke/News/Family%20fails%20to%20agree%20on%20Akuku%20burial%20date%20/-/1056/1026198/-/view/printVersion/-/oeyx53z/-/index.html Daily Nation], [http://www.capitalfm.co.ke/news/2010/10/polygamist-akuku-danger-dies-at/ Capital News], [http://abcnews.go.com/International/danger-akuku-dies-leaves-100-widows/story?id=11794693#.UJxFqGHPEww ABC News], and [http://www.rnw.nl/africa/article/women-found-him-irresistible-%E2%80%9Ci-was-a-magnet%E2%80%9D Radio Netherlands] are just some examples of many. Prior to his death, he has received coverage over a period of time: [http://nl.newsbank.com/nl-search/we/Archives?p_product=PG&p_theme=pg&p_action=search&p_maxdocs=200&p_topdoc=1&p_text_direct-0=0EB48F6E0F66DB76&p_field_direct-0=document_id&p_perpage=10&p_sort=YMD_date:D&s_trackval=GooglePM Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (1999)], [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/661527.stm BBC News (2000)], [http://books.google.ca/books?id=s08nAQAAIAAJ&q=%22Ancentus+Akuku%22&dq=%22Ancentus+Akuku%22&hl=en&sa=X&ei=XUecUI-APefg2wXfgIGgDg&ved=0CDMQ6AEwAg Drum magazine (2001)], [http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/10/26/1098667730282.html Sydney Morning Herald (2004)], [http://www.spiegel.de/panorama/super-polygamie-kenianer-heiratet-130-frauen-a-324850.html Der Speigel (2004)]. Note also how international the coverage is. -- Whpq (talk) 00:04, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

::I have no doubt that his death was widely reported, but is that just because of the unusual-ness of the man in question? Does he justify having an article about him on WP? At best a couple of lines of this article could be added to the polygamy article. Lugnuts ^{Dick Laurent is dead} 08:09, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

:::And all that coverage prior to his death? -- Whpq (talk) 11:13, 9 November 2012 (UTC)

• Keep per Whpq. Loads of references before and after his death. Clarityfiend (talk) 22:43, 14 November 2012 (UTC)
• Speedy delete per G12: All but four sentences on this page were plagiarized form [http://abcnews.go.com/International/danger-akuku-dies-leaves-100-widows/story?id=11794693#.UKS7ASpGJ5Q this ABC news article]. I've speedied it, and am requesting administrative early closure of this AfD per WP:SPEEDYCLOSE. — Francophonie&Androphilie (Je vous invite à me parler) 10:00, 15 November 2012 (UTC)
