not worth; not enough to

verb辞书形 / noun + に足らない / に足りない

Shows that the degree, value, or grounds are insufficient, not worth doing something or not enough for a judgment.

Common in evaluations such as 恐れるに足らない and 信頼するに足りない.

一度の失敗だけで、その人の能力を否定するには足りない。

One failure alone is not enough to deny that person's ability.

Do not equate it entirely with ordinary 足りない for quantity; this is often evaluative insufficiency.

The reason or value has not reached the line.
