Speedy deletion nomination of Debonair Afrik edit

 

If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.

You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.

A tag has been placed on Debonair Afrik, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator.

Hello Umakant Bhalerao, I hope you are well. I just received a notification that you had tagged my article for sppedy deletion. The content I have written is both neutral and credible. I have also cited correctly all relevant media platforms. This article is credible enough to pass the A7 criteria. I will wish that you review the Criteria for Speedy Deletion as you seem to be tagging most pages with this without proper verification and due process.

African Fashion Foundation moved to draftspace edit

An article you recently created, African Fashion Foundation, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page. scope_creepTalk 08:13, 16 September 2021 (UTC)Reply

Hi Scope Creep, I believe strongly there’s a level of bias with moving this article into draft.

The media sources have been accurately referenced.

Also, I follow all the rules to the latter.

A Quick search Of the AFF will show you that it meets the notability criteria as much as CFDA or any Fashion council does.

Are we saying it doesn’t meet the notability because of its African origin??
