 * Symbol question.svg This is still pretty much a draft, with an under construction template, empty sections, and plenty of unreferenced paragraphs. More concerning, several artefacts in the draft which I removed hint at the possibility that this is the work of an university student, or based on such work, and based on an essay by Prof Akin Iwayemi, Energy Sector Development in Africa. Not surprising then that the text is too close to the original, so much so that it needs a complete rewrite. And to answer the question in the artefacts, no, graphics from this essay may not be used on Wikipedia because the essay does not state that it is under some sort of open license, and we thus have to presume that it is under copyright. --Pgallert (talk) 06:39, 8 November 2013 (UTC)


 * Symbol delete vote.svg The article contained, before expansion began on October 21, 16,511 prose characters. As of today, it has 18,408 prose characters, an increase of 1,897 characters in just under three weeks. As the increase needed is 66,044, it is clear that this article has no hope whatever of meeting the 5x expansion requirement. Given the other major issues, including the overly close paraphrasing noted above (including a 28-word copyvio), it's time to close the nomination as failing to meet DYK requirements.

 * +1 I did not spot that as there indeed is a 5-times expansion starting from October 25, but that was 2012, not 2013. --Pgallert (talk) 07:16, 11 November 2013 (UTC)
