African Computer Society

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Hoax or attempt to pad someone's CV... A Google search gives 32 hits that apart from this article are all to the South African Computer Society. The society's website, except for the top of the page, consistently calls this society the African Computer Scientists Association (ACSA). An article on this association was deleted last year. In short, even if this organization would be real, it fails WP:GNG, WP:ORG, and WP:V. Hence: Delete. Randykitty (talk) 06:45, 11 April 2014 (UTC)

This is a reputable society and need to be keep with few edits to turn it into a proper Article for Educational Portal. To be honest, I am quite surprised by the suggestion to delete this article,I think The Nominator claims "as per the guidelines" yet the listed evidences he provided are of no violation importance, but just over the conflict of it origination so being the Old Association of ACSA (African Computer Scientists Association) which was deleted because the First Article writer was a total newcomer, who was unfamiliar with the Wikipedia's culture and rules but mistakenly and unknowingly created the article with a whole missing sources, wrong information and references. Everyone makes mistakes, so It is very important to be patient with newcomers editors inputs, who will be unfamiliar with Wikipedia's culture and rules, We only have to help them improve such valuable Article like this African Computer Society ones. This article lacks only references and other minor changes to survive. Hence WP:AGF i Object to the deletion arguments given and would request you to look at those improvement necessary for any more improvement with a little closer considerations for African Students and Educational benefit. There is a reference notice for the New Official ACS'S website to be under construction, I count that it is very imperative that this Article should be Keep since it is Notable and highly rated as importance to the interest of academia portal.
 * Strong Keep I Strongly believe this article topic is valid and encyclopaedic. Keep This African Computer Society Article until the situation is totally proven false (or not) and should not be deleted as it worth a notable academic references and research awareness to our new generation for educational purposes. This Society is the popular Umbrella association of which all other Computer society belong including the South African Computer Society itself and the Nigerian Computer Society.

 * Delete Completely inadequate sourcing. FeatherPluma (talk) 23:00, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Comment. The previous article mentioned in the nomination statement was deleted as a copyvio from http://acsaa.getafricaonline.com/About+ACSA. This article doesn't have exactly the same problem, but it does have large chunks of text mysteriously copied without attribution from another Wikipedia article on a different subject, Computer Society of India. —David Eppstein (talk) 23:11, 11 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:V. Usually Google hits are a poor measure of notability because there are too many and they are too quality. But in this case there are absolutely none for this supposed organization other than this article itself. That seems pretty damning to me. —David Eppstein (talk) 03:16, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
