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.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not 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. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- 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. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Africa|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors 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.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Africa. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- 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.

@Boleyn: Communes in Mauritania are significant administrative subdivisions with mayors, deputy mayors and councillors. It is a waste of everyone's time to keep nominating these articles for deletion. It would take less time and would be much more useful if you would expand these stubs.
To find a solid source for any of these communes, check the foot of the article, where you will see.
Click on the link to Communes of Mauritania, scroll down, and you will see
Click on that link, click "ok" in the search box, and you will get a list of all the communes. Click on the link for Bou Lahreth and you see information like
- BOU LAHRATH
- Région : ASSABA
- Commune Collectivités urbaines à vocation agricole, pastorale ou agropastorale
- Le Maire : Zeine O/ Ahmed Salem O/ Kebady PRDS
- Les Maires Adjoints : Ahmed Salem O/ Salem, El Hareth O/ Nouh, Ahmed O/ Bilal, Mohmed Mahmoud O/ Youba, Habiboullah O/ Mohamed Mensour

Per WP:NOTNEWS. From what I've been able to find, only primary sources exist on the event with barely any/no secondary sources existing on the event. The event does not have in-depth nor continued coverage with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the crash. No lasting effects nor long-term impacts have been demonstrated as a result of the accident. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 14:47, 21 August 2024 (UTC)

- •Merge . I believe due to there being no notable injuries nor fatalities that this incident is not notable, the article should be merged into An-26 Accidents and Incidents along with the shortening of the accidents and incidents catalouge in South Sudan Supreme Airlines for this accident, i'll try to lengthen the original catalouge in the An-26 page to compensate for the shortening of the original catalouge.

- Keep, the town's name in Arabic; "بكرو" can be translated as "Bogué" which is a real place (Google Maps) There is also an account of a visit to the town on this blog. Microplastic Consumer (talk) 21:01, 19 August 2024 (UTC)
- Merge to Adel Bagrou, and clean up {{Communes of Mauritania}} to remove the duplicate.
- The Arabic wiki entry linked to this article, w:ar:بكرو, says (Google translated)
- "Adl Bakrou is a district and municipality located in Hodh Ech Chargui State in Mauritania".
- The Arabic wiki entry linked to Adel Bagrou, w:ar:عدل بكرو, says (Google translated)
- "Adel Bagrou (French: Adel Bagrou), an administrative center in the Hodh El Chargui region , in the southeastern region of Mauritania, located on the border with Mali , in 2000 its population was 36,007..."
- The place is clearly the sizable town and commune in Hodh Ech Chargui Region. (The Bogué (بوكى) found on the map by a Google search is spelled differently in Arabic and is far to the west of Hodh Ech Chargui Region.)
- Alternatively, move to Adel Bagrou (Commune) and clean up, and change Adel Bagrou to only discuss the town. There are plenty of results from a search on عدل_بكرو with information like: "Prime Minister, Mr. Mohamed Ould Bilal Messoud, laid the foundation stone today, Friday, in the Adl Bakrou district for the road linking the cities of Adl Bakrou and Amerj in the Hodh El Chargui state." Aymatth2 (talk) 14:20, 20 August 2024 (UTC)
- Redirect to Adel Bagrou per Aymatth2, as there's nothing to merge. We should also fix the topic-duplication on ar.wiki, which clearly imported the inferior Bagrou article from en.wiki. signed, Rosguill talk 12:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Declined prod. This article is almost exclusively based on the Spanish Ministry of Foreign Affairs website (may have even be copied in direct translation). I could not find third party coverage to meet GNG. LibStar (talk) 23:11, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- KEEP, and improve. The article meets none of the WP:DEL-REASON. The Nom’s concern about unbalanced sources makes sense but anyone has such a concern could just improve the article by editing it. Nihonjinatny (talk) 07:57, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- It meets #7 of WP:DEL-REASON: "Articles for which thorough attempts to find reliable sources to verify them have failed". Have you found any reliable sources? LibStar (talk) 00:07, 28 August 2024 (UTC)

I wasn't able to find significant coverage of the subject in reliable sources. Some of the sources linked in the article (like the first and third) don't even mention "Godenu". The fourth source mentions Godenu only once, as the "Gbi-Godenu Volta Region IFAD/SCIMP Project", seemingly a different thing. The second source does mention Godenu, but it's pretty brief. Other sources linked aren't reliable or aren't independent. I can find mentions of Godenu, like in this article, but that's it. toweli (talk) 16:21, 6 August 2024 (UTC)

- Sorry, sources 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 are the sources which prompt me to give the "keep" reply. She does not seem notable outside the business, I'll give you that, but being one of the top 40 women from a country is enough for me.

05:46, 1 August 2024 (UTC)- @TheNuggeteer, please read what Wikipedia means by notable. 2 and 6 do not mention her. 3 and 7 (which are the same source) has a potted biography, but is mostly quoting her. 5 gives me a 404, but judging by its title, I would be amazed if it had significant coverage of her. 8 and 9 give potted biographies, but are almost certainly not independent.
- Sources used to establish notability need to meet all three criteria in WP:42. ColinFine (talk) 15:38, 1 August 2024 (UTC)

- My comments only: Firstly, several of the sources are actually the same. Secondly, appearing in a list of “40 under 40” is not the same thing as “one of the 40 most popular women.” Finally, we need to decide whether being a partner in Dentons, by far the largest law firm in the World, creates a legal notability by itself. This discussion might have to go more than a few days. In the meantime, please ping me if you find additional sources. Bearian (talk) 08:50, 13 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete. Non-notable at this time, agreeing with the reasons that the sources used in the article and an online search of the name do not show significant coverage in independent sources. Another thing she is a member, doesn't look like a partner at Denton's through its acquisition of Hamilton Harrison & Mathews Law Firm; additionally, notability is not inherited, as is the case with her and Dentons Law Firm.

- Comment judging from the Spanish article, it's likely that if the main article was brought to FA level comprehensiveness a biography should be written on him per size split reasons, given that he is one of the key figures in one of the deadliest terror attacks ever. So, if this is merged, I would not oppose it being split out again at some time. PARAKANYAA (talk) 07:34, 11 August 2024 (UTC)
- Also, he does have (not counting life sentences), the third longest prison sentence of all time. I feel that is perhaps a claim to notability. From what I'm looking at an article could definitely be written on him - BLP1E is for low level crimes, not ones that kill nearly 200 people. The other two conditions of the policy are the person being a "low profile individual" (he is not) and that the event not be a SIGNIFICANT historical event in which the role of the person is well documented (he is). So he does not fail BLP1E. With more notorious cases there are often the sources to write both, and the reason he is the one with an article is because he seemed to be one of the more prominent figures. Same reason we have an article on Mohamed Atta. So either keep or merge for now. PARAKANYAA (talk) 08:12, 11 August 2024 (UTC)

- Merge to the main article. Not actually as many BLP issues as I thought from the title, just a list of those convicted + one high profile very studied false arrest. The main article actually does not have a list of the men convicted of directly perpetrating the attack. The other sections are perhaps unnecessary but I feel a list of the main perpetrators would improve the main article. It appears unsourced but it is sourced to the Guardian article.

No indication of notability. There are zero reliable secondary sources; the sources include blogs and primary sources, which contribute nothing towards establishing notability.

- Draftify or else just delete it, and to be clear, if it were draftified and then moved to mainspace again without an accepted AfC submission, I would !vote to delete. I have tried searching, although the name is tricky as it is not unique. Adding Nigeria as a qualfier turns up almost nothing and nothing useful. Sources may exist that are not in English, but as it stands there is no demonstration of notability on the page, nor any other sources to consider. On the plus side, the school has been open nearly 30 years and appears to have a suitably large role that its notability within the area it serves may well be sufficient. Schools don't have to be internationally renowened to have a page, but they do need to be shown to be notable with reliable secondary sources. The page creator has added quite a lot of good history, but the sourcing on that is also unclear. The creator is new to Wikipedia, and perhaps unaware of the notability guidelines, and it would be unfortunate to waste their efforts by summarily deleting this page. I think draftify is appropriate in this case. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 08:12, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Cornerstone International School is one of the most reputable and notable schools in port harcourt, Nigeria. You could try searching on Google for Cornerstone International School Port Harcourt. It is literally the biggest school in town which is why I was surprised when t wasn’t in the list of notable schools in port harcourt, category and then I decided to add it. The other schools in the area you can check also don’t have as reputable online sources except their website information because schools or anything not political rarely get written about online in that area of the world. I think yall are using your first world lenses a bit. That school is really renowned. 31.205.127.189 (talk) 08:42, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Asserting notability is not going to cut it at AfD. We need to find sources to demonstrate notability. Searching Google for "Cornerstone International School" "Port Harcourt" yields just 31 results (and 27 duplicates). I have reviewed them all, and none will do. Sources demonstrating notability must be independent, reliable secondary sources that significantly cover the school. Almost all of the 31 sources are not independent. Two news articles show up, being [4] and [5]. I have questions about reliability of the second, but these are moot because in each case the mention of the school is very much passing ("When the reporter arrived at the location, she met a Cornerstone international school, instead." is passing and just odd - I presume she means the water company address turned out to be a school, and the article is about the company. The school was just what she saw. "Edo-born Jss 1 student of Cornerstone International School, Port Harcourt launches herself into the music world" is about the student and does not discuss the school further). There is nothing in Google Scholar and no book mentions. So at this stage we have nothing, thus the delete !votes below.Your comment about
first world lenses
is not wrong in my opinion, but it is poorly phrased as an accusation. I have noted before that it is generally much harder to show the notability of schools either in non English speaking communities or in Africa, and sometimes, with diligent searching, I have been able to show that a school that appears non notable is notable. I am perfectly willing to spend longer on such schools. However,The school is really renowned
is not going to sway any opinion. If it is renowned, what coverage demonstrates this? Does it go by another name? Are there sources in another language? I note it is listed in this French language listing of schools [6], but that one I have already considered because it goes by its English language name. But perhaps there are sources we are missing. If you want to save this, and have it draftified, you need to help with the source search, because at this point I am stumped. Without sources, the !voters below are correct to argue for deletion.

- Delete : There is no point draftifying since the article creator believes the subject is notable. I have done my research on Google. The school might be popular in Port Harcourt but fails to meet WP:GNG. All the media on the article page was uploaded 25 August 2024 which was yesterday. So there is something fishy that is either the article creator created another account to upload the images or he or she knows the creator of those images, they both work in hands. All media should be deleted as well as they do not proof owner of self publish work but gotten from either the school website or from images uploaded already by someone on google.--Gabriel (……?) 11:49, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

- Delete, trivial mentions. Fails WP:GNG. Ednabrenze (talk) 03:49, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Just asking (again) as the original creator where the "trivial mentions" in particular are here. Because according to the many sources I've been able to find that substantiate independent notability, the work in her career especially on the runway is notable. Being on the cover of Vogue in any country as a model, is notable, let alone multiple countries. Most of these metrics were decided years ago when reassessing WP:NMODEL. Sources ranging from actual newspapers in South Africa (where she and her story were literally on the front page) to actual fashion magazines, I just don't see the perceived failure of GNG. Nobody has given a clear answer on it. Trillfendi (talk) 18:36, 26 August 2024 (UTC)
- Delete. Let's look at the sources currently in the article:
- [8] is just a data-base entry in a fashion database. It doesn't establish notability, and the only thing it's supporting is the name of her agency
- [9] is an interview with her, sans any third party analysis of her or commentary on her works.
- [10] mentions who she is, her height, Instagram, and agency. There are two additional sentences about her. It doesn't rise to the level of WP:SIGCOV.
- [11] has two sentences about her. Again, it doesn't rise to the level of SIGCOV
- [12] has her name as part of a list. It doesn't even have a picture.
- [13] I was expecting to have to gloss over this one, due to the source being in Ukrainian. However, it's literally just pictures of her as part of a spread- she's credited as a model, but the source itself is unusable for any information about her. And, unless there are sources independent of both her and Vogue talking about it, it doesn't make her notable.
- [14] is just an interview.
- [15] is an interview with some limited commentary.
- [16] is an interview with two and a half paragraph's worth of independent commentary in the beginning.
- [17] is fine. The author (Marisa Crous) is in direct contact with her, but I'll AGF on editorial control and input. (It's News24)
- The following aren't listed, but I've looked them up as part of my WP:BEFORE.
- [18] has two, mentioning she was part of a fashion show and listing some gigs she'd had. The rest is just photos, unfortunately. It's not really SIGCOV.
- [19] says its about her becoming a covergirl for NARS, but it's actually about a NARS product line.
- [20] is about another fashion show. It has another few lines about her. Being generous, this rises to SIGCOV. Again, it's a News24 source by Marisa Crous
- So, all in all, we have two sources that could help the subject pass WP:GNG- but both sources are written by the same author for the same newspaper, so they can't really said to be independent of each other. The relevant SNG would be Wikipedia:NMODEL//WP:NENT, which would allow her to pass if she'd had significant roles in multiple notable productions (The Vogue cover shoot is just one), or if we had sources showing her contributions to modelling were particularly
unique, prolific or innovative
- which, again, we not seeing. I think the promotional comments are harsh- while none of the cited news articles are hard-hitting journalism, they just seem fluffy. If the two sources were written by different authors, and there was a little bit more to them, I'd have maybe gone with a keep vote. Perhaps a bit WP:TOOSOON?

This appears to be a hoax, or at the very least non-notable.

None of the links presently given in the article even mention Anabwani. I wasn't able to find even a mention in reliable sources either.
