Talk:Africa Center for Strategic Studies

A sprawling advert
Most of the content here is promotional in tone, and is referenced to primary source pages that no longer exist. I've tried to remove the content, and have been reverted. In the meantime I've left a couple of relevant tags. 2601:188:1:AEA0:6984:3659:65B8:7B8 (talk) 00:07, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * The content you removed here and again here looks to include things that can instead be improved. Sure, I do see issues with some of that content -- but can it be improved? The article also seems to be a government branch or entity; surely a government branch wouldn't be pure advertising. What are your thoughts?  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:12, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Have you read any of what you restored? 2601:188:1:AEA0:6984:3659:65B8:7B8 (talk) 00:15, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I'm going through it now. I've already taken out content that is clearly un-needed. As I read further, I'm beginning to agree with you -- there's a lot of un-needed content here.  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:16, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * I've removed more. I think that the content regarding their current leadership looks okay. What are your thoughts on that section?  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:18, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Absolutely not. They're resumes, most likely of non notable persons. A sentence about the director may be sufficient. Everything else reinforces the impression that someone from the center set the page up as a press release on its behalf. 2601:188:1:AEA0:6984:3659:65B8:7B8 (talk) 00:24, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
 * For the record, I meant to say "keep some of it"; sorry for the confusion. Fair point; I agree that much of that content should go. I'll let you delete that part. Thanks again for discussing this with me and for the collaboration. I very much appreciate it :-)  ~Oshwah~  (talk) (contribs)   00:25, 11 August 2016 (UTC)
