Proposed deletion of List of Terrestrial Fibre Optic Cable Projects in Africa


The article List of Terrestrial Fibre Optic Cable Projects in Africa has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Unreferenced, laundry list of external links with no clear purpose

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.

Speedy deletion nomination of Rain (network operator)
Hello Stevesong,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Rain (network operator) for deletion, because the article doesn't clearly say why the subject is important enough to be included in an encyclopedia.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can [//en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=&action=edit&section=new&preload=Template:Hangon_preload&preloadtitle=This+page+should+not+be+speedy+deleted+because...+ contest this deletion], but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions.

But the article did say why it notable, i.e. that the introduction of a new network operator significantly changes the telecommunications market in South Africa with implications for Internet access, deemed a significant topic on Wikipedia, in Africa. So this is not a question of someone failing to meet the guidelines for an article and notability. Instead it is obviously once the the well documented anti-African bias. 100.15.85.48 (talk) 20:40, 27 June 2018 (UTC)
