[edit] Othman III
I tried to source this. Nothing here adds up. The ruler of Bornu in this time appears to be Muhammad Rumfa 1463-99. And I don't think the empire was united till slitghtly later from what I can find in the the history this was originally a redirect to Osman III and everything since should that should be restored. But I am not certain as I know know nothing about this subject. BirgitteSB 17:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Delete because there are absolutely no sources mentioned. Although I'm all in favor of making as detailed a record as possible of African history, it has to be accurate and verifiable. I found [this] from historyfiles.co.uk, but, like you, the other lists I have point to Muhammad Rumfa. I don't see "Othman III" in anything listed on Google books.

- Comment. I think this could be a possible source but the dates are different. (Othman III would be "Othman son of Kade" 1461-1466). According to this Mohammed Rumfa was the King of Kano, not Bornu. No comment as to whether to delete or not. ascidian | talk-to-me 19:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Sorry about that searching for Othaman III gave mave so many Ottoman results I resorted to searching for Bornu and 1463 trying to find the reign. And I must of have gotten confused that Rumfa was a contemporary from nearby. I think our entry is incorrect, by the strong confirmation I got for the old redirect. But I wanted to bring it here as I couln't be completely certain. Maybe it would be best to move this to --BirgitteSB 19:44, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
- Withdraw my searches were to dependant on the dates being right to filter out the Ottoman results. I am finding some information to support this now.--BirgitteSB 19:54, 4 April 2008 (UTC) Although Othman (Uthman) son of (b) Kade (Kady) seem the variations used by the better sources over Othman III.--BirgitteSB 20:08, 4 April 2008 (UTC)
