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:

1. 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.
2. 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.

Lumi (currency) (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

Fake and/or failed currency, does not meet GNG because only those who promote it write about it, most of the claims made about it are false. Polygnotus (talk) 21:59, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

---

Follow-up from Wikipedia:Neutral_point_of_view/Noticeboard#Lumi_(currency).

Creating a new currency is a very old scam, see Scrip.

What I think happened (this is a guess based on very limited information):

I think that Timothy Elisha McPherson Jr. or someone he knows created a new currency called LUMI before 2016 https://lumicurrency.org/about/

He, or someone he knows, had some banknotes printed in Canada around 2016.

They claim that Each issued LUMI is equivalent to USD 15.96, underwritten by 100kwh of solar energy and valued against gold-grains in a parity of 1-to-4, where one LUMI equals the market value of 4 grains of gold.

They then needed a way to get people to use this new currency, and the obvious way to achieve that was handing out free worthless LUMI. They called this the 6 Trillion Dollar Stimulus package (unclear how much that would be in LUMI).

Anyone can get some LUMI by signing up for an account, and if you are a business owner you can get what they claim to be the equivalent of 10k USD.

Problem is, you can't really spend this fake currency anywhere.

They went to a bunch of places trying to get a government to accept the currency as real.

Accompong is a village on the island of Jamaica. Some people claim Accompong, a village of less than 800 people, is sort-of sovereign and autonomous. The previous chief promoted LUMI. The current chief, Richard Currie, is opposed to LUMI.

The people behind LUMI went to Vanuatu and tried to get them to adopt this new currency. They did meet the deputy finance minister but I am not sure how succesful they were in their quest.

Basically no one registered on their website, and those that did were told they could not exchange their fake money for real money.

The Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong does not exist and the African Diaspora Central Bank is just some guy in Benin.

They claim The lumi is no longer used as the Accompong currency. It is now issued by the African Diaspora Central Bank since the Central Solar Reserve Bank was destituted by Colonel Richard Currie when he replaced Colonel Ferron Williams as the new elected Head of State for Accompong. but I have found no evidence that the Central Solar Reserve Bank of Accompong has ever existed, outside of McPherson's head, and solar energy production on Jamaica is very low.

Creating a fake bank is illegal in Jamaica. They also tried to set up a fake energy exchange called "Accompong Solar Energy Exchange" but I think that scam was not very succesful because it looks like it quickly shut down.

• Delete: not notable enough for a separate article. If Timothy E. McPherson Jr. is notable (and I am not sure if he is), a paragraph about the pseudo-currency could be added and reframed as a possible variant of the redemption movement, based on two sources ([1],[2]). --Minoa (talk) 21:42, 2 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

2024 Malakal Airport collision (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have in-depth nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

comment Well it may, but I'd be surprised, the article has been patrolled, it has multiple reliable sources over several years, detailed accounts that are both national and international, well sourced photos of both her and her creations.... and that is assuming we ignore the additional stuff on youtube etc. All of that together defines notability for me.

• Keep I have edited the article a bit. She at least meets WP:GNG, and probably WP:NCREATIVE, though I have not checked for reviews of all the films she has produced (there is a list in an earlier version of this article, but the current article only names two she received award nominations for in 2022). The sources do provide coverage of her, as suggested by their titles: "Zoom sur la meilleure scénariste de la RDC : Belinda Kikusa Kandi dit « Bellevue », la Femme sage"; "Belinda Kandy dit « Belle Vue », apporte une nouvelle touche dans le cinéma congolais"; "Bellevue KANDY | 50 Femmes qui inspirent"; ).

Full of WP:LLM generated hoax [3]. Not even single mention of this particular "conquest" in the article, only spun around irrelevant events (Ismaili revolt, sectarian conflicts and other Ghaznavid invasions).

WP:BLP of a media entrepreneur, not properly sourced as passing inclusion criteria for media figures. As always, founders of television channels are not automatically entitled to Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to be shown to pass WP:GNG on their sourceability -- but this is referenced entirely to a mixture of primary sources and glancing namechecks of the subject's existence in coverage about other things, with no evidence shown at all of any GNG-worthy coverage with him as its subject.
There's also been some conflict of interest editing in the past, as the article has been edited numerous times by "Yeldeeb", and was first created by an anonymous-IP WP:SPA with no other edit history at all besides this (and thus likely to have been either the subject himself, or an employee he paid to get him into Wikipedia). But of course, even people who do properly clear our inclusion standards still aren't entitled to create or control their articles themselves. Bearcat (talk) 16:25, 1 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per WP:COI, WP:AUTOBIO, WP:SIGCOV, and WP:NOTFB. If the person has an undisclosed financial or personal interest, or it's an autobiography, and it's not disclosed before an AfD, that is independent reason to delete. See a recent example at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Carlton Wilborn. I just disclosed that my ex's friend has an article up for deletion, and I'm not !voting for that reason. Substantively, I don't see a lot of coverage about the subject, as opposed to his fee-based satellite-TV show. None of his other many projects have gone anywhere. This just looks like a LinkedIn profile, not an encyclopedia article. Bearian (talk) 05:47, 3 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete. Currently his publication record is not enough to pass WP:NPROF#C1. I will give him (or GS?) the benefit of the doubt that he has published under slightly different names. With this assumption, the strong upward trend of his citations is encouraging, but it is WP:TOOSOON; I suggest trying again in 2-3 years if the trend is maintained.

I looked at the sources, and in my opinion, they are OK. However, if it were up to me, I would not call the article "Otumfuo Educational Fund" but rather "Otumfuo Foundation" which is actually the umbrella organization for funding educational and other projects. The "Otumfuo Foundation"/"Otumfuo Education Fund" has actually been in existence for 25 years so it is not what one would call a "fly by night operation".

  People are murdered everyday but some murders are being covered more than the other. So, if we are to follow your analogy, murders should not be covered on the encyclopaedia because obviously, people are being murdered everyday.

  Comment – I don't think their point is that any event that happens daily should be excluded. A murder that's covered on Wikipedia has some kind of significance or notability to it. The nominated article at present doesn't have a claim of significance or notability to it, and the objections of the delete side is that the coverage appears routine.

This particular extended play (EP) fails WP:NALBUM and is not notable. It did not chart on any country's official music chart and was not critically reviewed.

I'm not surprised that you think that Maffian didn't meet WP:NALBUM, but the mistake was made by the editor who published this article that didn't provide enough notability. The EP charted on US & UK Apple Music Album chart at #57 & #82 and peaked at number 2 on Nigeria Apple Music Album Top 100 and number 3 at TurnTable Top 100 Albums. [16][17]. Remember Boy Spyce (EP), or Soundman Vol. 2 didn't provide any chart or review to meet WP:NALBUM. MakeOverNow (talk) 20:49, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Apple Music Charts are considered WP:SINGLEVENDOR charts and cannot be used to establish notability. Although Turntable is a reliable chart, simply having an EP chart doesn't justify a separate article. The fact of the matter is that Maffian was not discussed in reliable sources or critically reviewed. I am not sure why you're comparing Maffian with those two other projects. For your info, both Soundman Vol.2 and Boy Spyce were critically reviewed. Show me multiple reliable sources that reviewed the EP and I will change my vote.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 22:30, 25 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

A Future in Chains (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views) – (View AfD | edits since nomination)

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

The book described in this Wikipedia article doesn't seem to exist in any relevant libraries; in fact, the article also doesn't discuss or mention anything about the work's publisher. I strongly presume a self-published novel.

Large portions of the article seem to be composed in a non-neutral manner by an LLM. I doubt that the opinions described in the article can be found in any meaningful publications.

The article doesn't cite any reliable secondary sources. Let me present a quick source analysis:

• Footnote 1: Refers to Daily Times Nigeria; the text is very obviously LLM-generated, and the author's profile in that source indicates to me that the account (called ada-ada) is used for advertising and promotion. It is not a reliable source.

• Footnote 2: Refers to Vanguard News. Same LLM-text as found in FN1; the source includes a disclaimer that reads Comments expressed here do not reflect the opinions of Vanguard newspapers or any employee thereof. Obviously not a useable source.

• Footnote 3: (The Nation Newspaper) could possibly be a reasonable source, but I am not sure. Either way, it heavily quotes the subject, and thus, it is not intellectually independent or indicative of notability.

• Footnote 4: Despite containing author information, the article is actually posted with a "The Editor" profile, and the text reminds me of something LLM-generated.

• Footnote 5: dto. FN 2.

• Delete per WP:NEWSORGNIGERIA and WP:EXCEPTIONAL. The author has written more than two dozen books, all of them self-published, none of which has seen any degree of success [18]. It strains credulity to believe that a handful of news outlets are suddenly interested in covering the author's latest book, which is also self-published and also has no evidence of being commercially successful. The current sources are highly suspect and offer no explanation for why they are covering the book:

• The Daily Times article is clearly LLM-generated.
• The articles from Vanguard and The Nation are overly promotional puff pieces. Sample quote: Nigerian author Ndifreke Ukpong has released his much-anticipated novel A Future in Chains - much-anticipated by whom, exactly?
• The Afrocritik article also reads as LLM-generated. Even worse, the article's content is reproduced word for word on another website with a different author name. The Afrocritik article is by "Ime John", and this Southern Examiner article is by "Levi Chidiebere".

There is clearly paid promotion and AI at work here. Given the wiki article's AI-generated origins, the article creator being blocked for paid editing, and AI-generated Goodreads reviews on the author's books [19] [20] — enough red flags are flying that this content does not belong on Wikipedia unless the book is reviewed by two clearly independent sources. Astaire (talk) 03:43, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete per Astaire. I would also add that none of the author's books seem to be more than about 100 pages long, with a couple being as short as 30 pages. Obviously that's not inherently a problem, but combined with everything else it makes it pretty obvious that this author is churning out lots of short, self-published books to sell on Amazon, then paying for AI-generated "reviews" and other promotional coverage. Paid reviews and advertising by the author are explicitly excluded under WP:NBOOK. Given all of these red flags, I agree that this does not belong on Wikipedia unless it can be shown that the book has been covered by unambiguously independent sources. MCE89 (talk) 06:04, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment, Astaire said the book review in Afrocritik and Southerne examiner are the same thing, but different author. It's true, Ime John reviewed the book in Afrocritik while Levi Chidiebere published it in Southerner Examiner, under Arts and Culture. I don't see anything wrong with that because he didn't claims to be the one reviewing the book. There is no evidence that this book reviews was paid publication. This publication is known for investigative journalism [21]. Astaire didn't point out those review on RS, only pointed out Afrocritik and Southern Examiner which was published by Levi, anyone can publish a review under Arts and Culture, as long they didn't claims to be the owner of the review. But why are we always quick to say delete without proper research? 102.90.80.11 (talk) 07:03, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I don't see anything wrong with that because he didn't claims to be the one reviewing the book. You don't see anything wrong with the same article being published in two different places, under two different author names, with no indication that one is reposting the other? Really?

The Premium Times article is clearly more AI-generated nonsense. It's not a review, it's a puff piece that doesn't make a single negative comment about the book. Astaire (talk) 17:44, 31 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This article creation was too soon, secondly it was created by inexperienced editor. We can't detect if it's promotional or not. I have read those references, for me it's not promotional. User:Traumnovelle and User:Astaire said that the article creator was blocked for paid edit.

The only evidence I can find for this place is mentions of its name in the DPLA [22] and Smithsonian [23] [24] [25]. These only situate it as a place in (western) Okpella but give no further information. It doesn't exist in the sources for List of villages in Edo State, which are seemingly comprehensive. Other-language Wikipedia articles shed no further light.

I also haven't found it named on a map. The article for Imiekuri gives a location which is unnamed in Wikimedia Maps and named Imiakebu in Google Maps, with nowhere named Ilewi (or similar) nearby.

The first Smithsonian source I listed show that such a place exists or existed in the area, but I'm not sure that's enough evidence to judge it as a "populated, legally recognised place" per WP:GEOLAND. Ligaturama (talk) 16:12, 23 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. But in this particular instance I think their nomination was justified, and their block shouldn't affect the outcome. For the avoidance of doubt, I stand by my merge vote (though on second thoughts I'd also back outright deletion, in that the utility of keeping a redirect is minimal). The only thing notable about this accident is the presence of notable people on board. Even if one admits that it could pass GNG on that basis, a merge still makes sense per WP:NOPAGE.

Fails all ramifications of WP:COMPOSER or WP:NMUSICIAN. The nominations are not exclusive and so do not inherently confer both guidelines I just mentioned.

Citation 1 from marginally reliable Vanguard with no substantial coverage.

Citation 2 from the same marginally reliable source is utterly unreliable as it lacks a byline and does not provide any useful information.

Citation 3 lacks a byline and is only 104 words, no substantial coverage.

Citation 4 does not only lack a byline, it is definitely a sponsored piece.

Citations 5, 6, and 14 are the usual nomination lists.

Citations 7 and 8 has nothing to offer to this subject's passing of WP:GNG.

  The Subject's notoriety can be supported by [28], from a notable magazine with a byline, and is named in some Wikipedia articles including Igbo music where he is referenced as one of the "Notable Igbo musicians."

  2. "Has won or been nominated for a major music award". The Headies being a major music award in Nigeria and Africa has nominated the subject twice, as the links to the nominations has tried to prove.

• You did a good job, ResonantDistortion, but sorry, it doesn't add a pinch of salt of WP:GNG for the subject. Firstly, for the charting, NMUSICIAN says that "Has had a single or album on any country's national music chart" (emphasis mine). Not only is the Billboard chart entry being not a single, ("Oganigwe" by Zlatan featuring Odumodublvck and Jeriq), Billboard is not Nigerian's national music chart. Plus, if the song charted No. 47 on the Billboard U.S. Afrobeats Songs, it didn't really chart to confer notability on who was featured, nope, it didn't. This Afrobeats Fresh Picks also has the same issue, provides nothing to establish the mentioned notability on Jeriq.

I also cannot comprehend why you do not find the way this article was created deceptively concerning, This, then how it was moved to the supposedly correct title.

Again, "Nyem Ego" is another feature. Below is my analysis of the sources you added so far. This, coupled with my above analysis makes it evident that Jeriq is not yet a notable musician.

That it's not a Nigerian chart is not relevant, and neither is the fact it's a collaboration. Jeriq, evidently a major contributor to the piece of music, still has featured in the top 50 of a reliable chart aggregator, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#2. He has been nominated, as a solo artist, twice for a notable national award which is WP:VERIFIED, and contributes to WP:MUSICBIO#8. At least two collaborative works with different artists have achieved non-trivial critical "best of" selections in independent sources, contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1. The article in TurnTableCharts magazine (a website listed as a WP-reliable Nigerian source) is not only a curated interview but includes notability-supporting journalistic bylined non-trivial biographical information contributing to WP:MUSICBIO#1 (per WP:INTERVIEW). The nature of the page creation is irrelevant to the notability of the subject; for the record I have updated the article to try and improve it. Overall, the evidence points to the subject meeting the relevant notability guideline, and therefore I maintain my position to keep. ResonantDis_tortion 16:56, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Weak keep. The subject's debut album, Billion Dollar Dream, was critically reviewed by Afrocritik and The Native. He has received two nominations at The Headies. As previously pointed out, he charted on a Billboard chart as a guest act. These three reasons should be good enough for a weak keep. When I previously nominated the article, I didn't see reviews of his debut album in reliable sources. I also didn't see his nominations at The Headies. Perhaps I could have done a more in-depth search but preliminary search results didn't show reliable coverage at the time. The article contains a few promotional wording and definitely needs to be cleaned up.  Versace1608  ^{Wanna Talk?} 17:39, 24 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In a WP:BEFORE, the sources from The Citizen bring no additional information and have several local information but Wikipedia is not a tour guide [34]: For further information, contact _____ on XXX XXXXXXX. (mentions 5 such phone numbers)

Even if the topic is notable (Zulu is the dominant language in KwaZulu-Natal, so better sources might exist in that language), the current article so severely fails verifiability that it would be better to blow it up and start over.

While there was a day, 15 or 18 years ago, when many people passed AfD on that basis, we have never been a free web host nor nor LinkedIn. I see lot of poor sourcing here.

Per WP:NOTNEWS and WP:EVENTCRIT. Per WP:GNG, "sources should be secondary sources, as those provide the most objective evidence of notability". From what I've been able to find, none of the sources were secondary in nature since none of them contained analysis, evaluation, interpretation, or synthesis of the event itself. The event does not have significant, in-depth, nor sustained continued coverage of the event itself other than, "After touching down, the plane crashed with X casualties", with coverage only briefly occurring in the aftermath of the accident. WP:EVENTCRIT#4 states that routine kinds of news events including most accidents – whether or not tragic or widely reported at the time – are usually not notable unless something further gives them additional enduring significance, which this event lacks.

• Keep A scheduled passenger flight which ended in fatalities and safety recommendations. The requirement for sourcing here is difficult because this occurred in a very remote part of the world - deleting this would further WP:BIAS. SportingFlyer T·C 18:06, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  I'd also note that the article is currently adequately sourced. SportingFlyer T·C 18:16, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  None of this is based on policies or guidelines. There is no such policy that states that an event is solely notable if it was "A scheduled passenger flight which ended in fatalities and [resulted in] safety recommendations". WP:BIAS does not state that we should ignore notability guidelines simply because it happened in a country where coverage is limited. I've seen better articles than this get deleted and the mere fact that the article is well referenced does not make it all the more notable. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 10:58, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  You're applying our rules too strictly. All of the sources in the article are American, but this happened in Sudan and the Sudanese performed the investigation. Furthermore it is fairly obvious that a regularly scheduled passenger plane service which ended in fatalities is likely notable - heck, multiple American sources picked it up even though it occurred in rural Sudan. The only possible reason to delete at this time is that there isn't demonstrated lasting coverage in English-language sources... SportingFlyer T·C 20:22, 21 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  So? You have yet to actually mention a policy or guideline to support keeping the article. An investigation was performed after a plane crash - That is routine. The news covered the accident without any further coverage - WP:NOTNEWS/WP:EVENTCRIT#4. It's been more than a decade since the plane crashed and there clearly is zero continued coverage. If your only argument for keeping is the aforementioned, then clearly one could create hundreds of articles on non-notable passenger flights on the sole basis that they received coverage for less than a week and had a final report published. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 05:28, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Of course I've cited policy - the article as written meets WP:GNG as it was a plane crash on a commercially scheduled flight which resulted in fatalities, which received international coverage. The only reason to delete this is if WP:NOT applies, and I don't think it does - the nature of the event and the location of the event means follow-up coverage is likely to be local and in a language other than English, and the nature of this specific crash means that deleting it would further implicit WP:BIAS by excluding plane crashes from parts of the world where finding coverage is difficult, even if the crash which would otherwise be notable. Your other argument is wrong as well - this is very different from a general aviation crash in the United States, so keeping this wouldn't open any floodgates. SportingFlyer T·C 06:37, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  Existence is not notability so the fact that a plane crashed, wherever in the world, is not proof of notability unless the sources demonstrate so. Your comment only precised "scheduled passenger flight" which basically applies to any type of aircraft that provides that service. Sudan is a country that speaks english and arabic, so that already makes it easier to search for sources, and the mere statement that there could be sources does not establish notability unless you actually give sources that provide significant and in-depth coverage after the initial aftermath of the plane crash instead of saying that "finding coverage is difficult". It doesn't matter whether or not a deletion would further implicit bias. So instead of citing WP:BIAS, which does not trump notability guidelines, please provide us with these notability-establishing source. Aviationwikiflight (talk) 11:49, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  The article has already established notability with the sources in the article, we're just discussing WP:NOT. I disagree with you strongly here, and arguing further won't change anything. SportingFlyer T·C 16:07, 22 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

• Delete, unless there are sources in Arabic that I've missed. She seems to have written two books, but they seem to be self-published and don't have any reviews that I can find. She doesn't have any other research activity (e.g journal publications, employment at a university) as far as I can tell, so no possibly of a WP:NAUTHOR or WP:NPROF pass. There's some secondary coverage but it all strikes me as likely paid/promotional coverage (e.g. [37] [38] [39]). I don't think the awards she's won are particularly notable either. So unless there's Tunisian SIGCOV that I've missed, I think she likely fails WP:GNG. MCE89 (talk) 01:41, 29 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

  There is significant media coverage of Adedayo Olawuyi - the article should be expanded more rather than deleted. If you look at the other managers of the same company (including some junior to him and arguably less notable) there is a good precedent and template set to build the articles to properly capture the notability.
