AfD: Today, Yesterday

edit · changes

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Africa. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting.

Anyone can help maintain the list on this page:

To add a new AfD discussion (once it has already been opened on WP:AFD):

Look through the list of current discussions to find items related to this subject area.
Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You can also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Africa}}<small>—~~~~</small> to it, which will inform users that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Africa.

Please note that adding an AfD to, or removing it from, this page does not add it to, or remove it from, the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page, before adding it to this page.

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Relevant archived discussions (starting from September 2007) may be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Africa/archive.

[edit] BENDEL

(Find sources: "BENDEL" — search, news, books, scholar, images )

PROD removed by article creator. The article is supposed to be about a region in Nigeria and it talks about many things, including Bendel Nationalism, United Bendel liberation Front, and the Bendel Union. I could not find sources for any of these. Salih (talk) 16:27, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

Keep. The article needs cleanup (and a move to 'Bendel'), not deletion. I checked and there is a former state called Bendel in Nigeria, whose capital was Benin City. The maps on States of Nigeria illustrate it. It was divided in 1991 between the states of Edo and Delta. The topic is clearly notable, and it's dangerous to assume that the lack of ready sources means a lack of overall notability when dealing with internal politics in African countries.

Merge. Article does not meet naming conventions, but is certainly notable. It certainly needs a lot of cleanup; citations and copy editing are just two of many areas that need to be addressed; but I don't feel that this is an appropriate reason to delete. Merge the appropriate content to the already-existing Bendel stub, which is of appropriate naming convention, and perform cleanup on the way. --Mpdelbuono (talk) 16:49, 3 December 2009 (UTC)
Nomination withdrawn per comments by User:Sam Blacketer. I think merge to Bendel is appropriate. Salih (talk) 16:54, 3 December 2009 (UTC)

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.
