Proposed deletion of COMESA Leather Institute


The article COMESA Leather Institute has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Article about an industry group that does not provide reliable, independent, published sources that would allow readers to verify the content. No independent evidence of notability.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
