Welcome!
Welcome to Wikipedia, Marras.stefano! I have been editing Wikipedia for quite some time. I just wanted to say hi and welcome you to Wikipedia! If you have any questions, feel free to leave me a message on or by typing helpme at the bottom of this page. I love to help new users, so don't be afraid to leave a message! I hope you like the place and decide to stay. Here are some pages that you might find helpful: I hope you enjoy editing here and being a Wikipedian! Oh yeah, I almost forgot, when you post on talk pages you should sign your name on talk pages using four tildes ( ~ ); that should automatically produce your username and the date after your post.

Proposed deletion of Map kibera project
A proposed deletion template has been added to the article Map kibera project, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process
 * Although a worthy project, this is about a demographic survey of one settlement, which is not a sufficiently encyclopaedic subject. There's perhaps a weak case to be made for merging it with a related topic, but it doesn't stand unsupported as an entry in its own right.

All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the  notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because, even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached.

 * I just wanted to add a note to this. You've put a great deal of hard work into this page, so of course you'll want to do what's necessary to keep that content going in some way.  You might want to restructure the page so that it's immediately clear why a survey of one settlement is notable.  What's the policy background (at a high level), that's going to make this important?  What NGOs are involved?  Why should people want to know about this?  What would you say in a couple of sentences to someone you met in a lift?


 * Bear in mind above all that you have to demonstrate, using the words and references at your disposal, why this is a good candidate for an encyclopaedia entry. Obviously you're passionate about it, but not every survey like this could be in Wikipedia. Ask youself: why should this one stand out?  Then do your best to make this clear.  Hope that's encouraging[javascript:insertTags('Astral Highway (talk) 13:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)',,) Astral Highway (talk) 13:42, 20 January 2009 (UTC)]
