Comparison of African Traffic Signs

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I am also nominating the following related pages because they were created by the same user and have the same issues regarding lack of information.

The article contains no sources or references and currently uses road sign files from other countries than those they are being used to represent. I do not believe there is currently enough information on the subject at this time to warrant such an article, unlike Comparison of European road signs which is fully sourced and documented.

 *  keep - the information may be tough to find, but it is out there Deunanknute (talk) 21:08, 29 January 2015 (UTC)
 * There currently is zero information. I may re-create this article in a few months once I have uploaded the road signs for SADC, a block of about 15 African countries, but currently these 3 articles are nothing but speculation.  Fry1989  eh?  00:25, 30 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Delete. - I agree with Fry1989 here. This article lacks any relevant information, and seems to have been the grounds for an edit war between two (unregistered) users.  Some of these users have made similar unsourced edits to Comparison of MUTCD-Influenced Traffic Signs, but that article is properly sourced, as is the European comparison.  I think that some poorer African countries get surplus signage from their former colonial powers, or have based their signage on them (cf. Mauritius and the UK).  If that is to be represented on Wikipedia, it should be sourced at the very least.  Fry1989 actually took the time to upload the Mauritian version of those signs, and that's what's needed here.  As it stands, though, this  article and its past revisions appear to be largely speculative, except for the cases where Fry1989 uploaded the appropriate signage.  Hence, my decision to delete. --Amateria1121 (talk) 17:58, 30 January 2015 (UTC)
