Amegbu Ogwa Proposed for Deletion

The article Amegbu Ogwa has been proposed for deletion as it cites no sources and Wikipedians could not find a source on the internet. If anyone is able to find sources supporting the notability of this village, it would be great if they could add them to the article. Otherwise, the article will likely be deleted tomorrow. Thanks, -- Lenny Marks (talk) 16:34, 14 September 2023 (UTC)

I have reasons to believe "Amegbu Ogwa" is the same as "Amaebu Ogwa". Once this is validated, there are sources that at least mentions the town.HandsomeBoy (talk) 00:41, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

Women in Green's 5th Edit-a-thon

Hello WikiProject Nigeria:

WikiProject Women in Green is holding a month-long Good Article Edit-a-thon event in October 2023!

Running from October 1 to 31, 2023, WikiProject Women in Green (WiG) is hosting a Good Article (GA) edit-a-thon event with the theme Around the World in 31 Days! All experience levels welcome. Never worked on a GA project before? We'll teach you how to get started. Or maybe you're an old hand at GAs – we'd love to have you involved! Participants are invited to work on nominating and/or reviewing GA submissions related to women and women's works (e.g., books, films) during the event period. We hope to collectively cover article subjects from at least 31 countries (or broader international articles) by month's end. GA resources and one-on-one support will be provided by experienced GA editors, and participants will have the opportunity to earn a special WiG barnstar for their efforts.

We hope to see you there!

Please review my article

Hello, I created a recent article about a businessman and politician Sanusi Bala Turaki who is also a guber aspirant in zamfara state. I have cited all relevance, i need your review and proof-read Agbaballer (talk) 14:05, 31 October 2023 (UTC)

Agbaballer, the article is really scanty. Just being a governorship candidate is not enough to be on Wikipedia. I see you added the SAN page to the "See also" section. Is he a SAN? If being a governorship candidate is presently the most "notable" thing about him, then perhaps you should wait till after elections. If he does become governor, then he will definitely be notable for Wikipedia. Read WP:NPEOPLE.HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:29, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Re:Entry on the Indigenous People of Biafra

I wish to submit that the article on the Indigenous people of Biafra be reviewed unless the intention is not to educate the public on what full profile of the organisation. This is because this organisation had a deputy leader that resigned.What for instance happened and led to the resignation of the deputy leader? Why for instance the names of the leader,the Spokesperson and/or the Media and publicity secretary be mentioned but not the deputy leader? Is that deliberate or an innocent omission? Mefonna (talk) 12:02, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

Mefonna, please add hyperlinks (from reliable source) to each of your statement so it will be easy for me (or anyone) to assess and contribute to the article. For now, it is your word vs what is in the article.HandsomeBoy (talk) 16:24, 2 November 2023 (UTC)

@HandsomeBoyThere is so much useful information regarding this subject matter. I recommend further independent research or inquiry if need be. Mefonna (talk) 11:44, 3 November 2023 (UTC)

Thanks for the references. I will look at them, and if I notice any undue weight I will make the required edits. I just have a lot on my table atm.HandsomeBoy (talk) 18:12, 17 November 2023 (UTC)
