2021 in East Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Each country and territory has their own year pages. This seems to be a random combination of content forked from some of these year pages. I don't see any point in having year in region pages if they are just going to include copyedits from other existing wiki articles. Dan the Animator 00:42, 26 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment - This is my first AfD so really sorry if I made any mistake. Dan the Animator 00:43, 26 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Comment - This should likely be a broader discussion, containing 2021 in South America, 2021 in Southern Africa, 2020 in East Africa etc. I am leaning towards keep, but I don't have a justification for that position, so I am not going to !vote for now.

 * Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't know whether it was a good idea to put them all together for deletion. Probably the rest could be put all together though for a later AfD depending on the outcome of this one. Thanks for your comment by the way! Dan the Animator 16:28, 27 June 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep: There's plenty of articles that have similar scopes and it's encyclopedic. The content may be "random", but that doesn't mean the article should be deleted, just improved. Clover moss  (talk) 02:53, 3 July 2021 (UTC)

 * Comment the article as-is has all the problems described by the nominator. However, there is be the potential for an article which covers 'regional' events.  The article is also part of a large class of similarly-scoped articles, which should probably be discussed in an RFC on a WikiProject page (possibly Current Events).
