How can AI be applied to Deforestation and Climate Change: Nigeria's Contribution to Global Warming

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

I tried to warn about this "deforestation in Nigeria" project at WP:ANI recently, at Administrators' noticeboard/IncidentArchive1137, and well, this is what you get. The suggested solution at AI was mass draftification, but per WP:NOTHOWTO, I don't see how this would be served by draftification or how encouraging further creation of such articles would benefit enwiki. Note how most sources in the article are not about Nigeria at all anyway. Fram (talk) 10:37, 11 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete it's an undergraduate style essay which is not suitable for an encyclopedia. For one thing there appears to be a level of WP:CRYSTAL, WP:SYNTH and WP:OR which are hard to untangle. Second, there's the whiff of an article that has been substantially created by an AI LLM. Third there are few appropriate RS which directly address the topic. If/when in the future there are sources that do something more than speculate, maybe the page could be recreated (hopefully with a more encyclopedic tone and title).

 * Thank you for your contributions to this article. I have gone though the acritical and some other Wikipedia articles and have seen the deference. I will prefer to retitle the article as “artificial intelligence (AI) and Climate change Monitoring” and improve on it.   Ugoji.john (talk) 11:51, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Well I've not contributed to the article, I have just given my opinion in this debate. I have nothing to add. JMWt (talk) 11:52, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: Obvious essay with no secondary or independent sources. This is a good essay but that doesn’t mean it deserves to be on Wikipedia. Nagol0929 (talk) 11:43, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: While there might be an argument for the inclusion of some of this material in a general Deforestation article, none of the examples or citations provided are specific to Nigeria. There's a lot of "we could do such and so" but not a lot of "such and so is being done" in this article. (I.e. it's too speculative.) WikiDan61 ChatMe!ReadMe!! 12:16, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete essay, not useful here in wiki. Could perhaps be a brief section on climate change in Nigeria, using certain facts here, but nothing we can salvage. Oaktree b (talk) 13:39, 11 September 2023 (UTC)


 * Delete or draftify as this an essay rather than information. The information provided or the sources could be useful for another article, so potentially this could be moved to the creator's or one of the contributor's userspace? I am unsure of a draft though as this topic is more of an essay, but the sources may be useful for other topics. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 15:44, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Userify per WP:BITE. The text is coherent and appears well-cited, it's just too much of an original synthesis to be a standalone article. The text should be handed back to the creator to re-frame or work into other articles rather than being entirely deleted and putting the onus on them to figure out how to get the text back. - Astrophobe  (talk) 19:42, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I agree 100% DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 19:56, 11 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Userfy or Delete, specifically do not draftify. Not encyclopaedic content. A little bit synth, a little bit crystal, and a whole lotta essay. Reads like an abstract. Folly Mox (talk) 00:59, 12 September 2023 (UTC)
