Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Tanzania

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Tanzania. 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|Tanzania|~~~~}} 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 Tanzania. 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.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Africa.

Non-notable. No indication of significance. Refs are duds. Fails WP:GNG. scope_creep^Talk 12:48, 12 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Advertorialized WP:BLP of a writer, not properly sourced as passing WP:AUTHOR. As always, writers are not automatically entitled to have Wikipedia articles just because they exist, and have to pass certain specific defined inclusion criteria supported by reliable source coverage about them and their work -- that is, you don't make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to Amazon or Barnes & Noble as proof that they exist, you make a writer notable enough for Wikipedia by referencing his books to media coverage about them (analytical reviews by professional literary critics, journalist-written news articles about him, verification of winning notable literary awards, etc.) as proof that they garnered independent third-party attention.
But this is referenced entirely to either online bookstores or the subject's own self-published social networking presence, with not a whit of WP:GNG-building reliable source coverage shown at all.
It also warrants note that this has already been move-warred over: it started out in draftspace, then got moved into mainspace by its own creator without an WP:AFC review, then got redraftspaced by an experienced editor on the grounds of being inadequate, before being moved back into mainspace by its creator a second time without significant improvement or review.
Nothing here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt him from having to have better sourcing than this. Bearcat (talk) 14:29, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: PROMO. No book reviews that I can find, sourcing now is primary and bookstore websites. Very promotional in tone with flowery text used. Nothing we can use to show notability. Oaktree b (talk) 14:39, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Promo, promo. Yesterday, all my dreams... (talk) 22:32, 7 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per WP:TNT. This is one long blurb, not an encyclopedia article. Bearian (talk) 21:07, 8 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This article is insanely promotional and does not rely on any secondary sources, let alone RSes. This seems to be one of the clearest case of a delete that I have ever seen on here. Gjb0zWxOb (talk) 13:59, 11 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
