Just like the Sassouma Bereté article, this notable article was redirected by User:Download to the Sundiata Keita article in 2009. I have no idea why. I have recreated the article and added a stub, categories and portals. Tamsier (talk) 09:53, 16 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]

My initial thought is that the redirect was correct. How is Dankaran Touman notable other than being the brother of Sundiata Keita? Notability is not WP:INHERITED. Pburka (talk) 13:37, 15 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Good question, but no he is not notable because he the half brother of Sundiata. He is notable because he was a king himself and a rather weak king according to the epic. His weakness is evident in his actions when the Sosso king invaded his country, couple with his politically ambitious mother. There are loads of things to write about Dankaran with reference to reliable sources (which there are many). Time permitting I would love develop this article. For the mean time, I will add additional refs and removed the tag you've added. Thanks.Tamsier (talk) 01:17, 20 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
