 * Hi! I just wanted to say why your article is getting nominated for deletion.
 * The first issue is that you created it under a help page title. This looks like it was done somewhat on accident as a test page, but when you are creating pages it's always better to create them under their correct title, in your userspace (WP:USERFY), or in your sandbox (WP:SANDBOX). This way it won't be deleted if you put it in the wrong place. This is the main reason your article has been nominated at this point in time.
 * There are, however, other issues. This looks to be a personal paper you wrote for class. While there's nothing wrong with submitting something like this for class, it's not appropriate for Wikipedia. (WP:NOTESSAY) This is partially because the format of any given paper would not be written neutrally enough for Wikipedia, (WP:NPOV) but primarily because many essay papers contain original research and opinions. For example, your article includes phrases like "In all fairness this seal harvesting is an unnecessary exercise which is putting Namibia on the radar for the wrong reasons". While I certainly share your opinions, all articles have to be written neutrally. That isn't to say that you have to completely eliminate mention of the negative aspects of things, but you do have to be careful about how you state things. A good example of a mostly neutrally written article would be the Yale student abortion art controversy. It was and still is a controversial subject, but has been written neutrally.
 * Above all else though, Wikipedia isn't a good place to post personal papers and essays. If your professor asked you to contribute to Wikipedia and you're confused on this, a good place to start would be School and university projects, as it gives several starting places as well as people to ask as far as help with such things go.
