Corruption in Sudan

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The fact that this may be true does not make it an article for Wikipedia. As it stands it is pure original research and an essay. Fiddle  Faddle  13:43, 29 August 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep Part of a bigger series of Category:Corruption in Africa and corruption by country (see the sidebar of the article). A quick Google search finds info such as this, this and this. And this states it's the fifth-most corrupt country on earth. Also I note that you sent it to AfD within two minutes of the article being created. Did you read WP:BEFORE and then do some searches within that 120 seconds?  Lugnuts  Dick Laurent is dead 13:56, 29 August 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Not difficult to find sources to establish notability, and (though I know little about Sudanese politics) I can see how this could develop into a worthwhile article. I'd also note other similar articles that are long-standing and well-sourced: Corruption in India, Corruption in China, Corruption in Kenya and so on.-- K orr u ski Talk 14:10, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, as clicking on the convenient Gbooks link immediately shows it's notable. Essay like? Original research? Well, be bold and improve it! - AfD is not cleanup.-- cyclopia speak! 21:18, 29 August 2013 (UTC)
