Proposed deletion of List of african music scholars


The article List of african music scholars has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "Unsourced list; no criteria; very subjective; also not very well-fomatted."

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages 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 page 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.
