Aboriginal Democracy in Nigeria

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

WP:OR essay with no hope of being developed into a valid article. Cited sources, with the exception of one interview with Chris Okotie, where he advocates for it as a political slogan, do not mention the term. Searching online, I was able to find one paper that mentioned the phrase in the context of Cameroon (not Nigeria), but did not define or describe it other than to express approval and which would not be usable to expand the article. Otherwise, I found the phrase "aboriginal democracy" in passing to describe Australian and North American societies, but not enough coverage to satisfy creating Aboriginal democracy signed,Rosguill talk 01:19, 6 June 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete per nom. Is an essay rather than an article, and fails WP:GNG for specifically Nigeria. JML1148 (talk &#124; contribs) 07:33, 6 June 2023 (UTC)
 * To clarify "fails WP:GNG for specifically Nigeria", which now that I read it doesn't make sense, I mean that although there may be GNG for Aboriginal Democracy in general, there isn't any for Nigeria specifically. JML1148 (talk &#124; contribs) 07:24, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * My sense is that while pre-colonial democratic forms of government by indigenous peoples is almost certainly a notable topic on the global scale, its primary topic title is not going to be "aboriginal democracy" unless either a) Australian examples are the overwhelming majority or b) "aboriginal" arbitrarily becomes the preferred term for indigenous peoples internationally. That having been said, it's not clear that "precolonial democratic forms of government" is the intended meaning of "aboriginal democracy" in the fleeting African examples I was able to find. signed,Rosguill talk 17:01, 7 June 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete -- The whole concept of Aboriginal democracy has the feel to me of some one's political ideology of what they would like there to be, not soemthing that has ever existed. Peterkingiron (talk) 21:53, 9 June 2023 (UTC)
