List of buildings and structures in Chad

Fails WP:LISTN, WP:NOTDIR, WP:NOTTRAVEL. Almost exclusively redlinked list entries. Not notable for its own article Ajf773 (talk) 19:50, 19 November 2016 (UTC) I am also nominating the following related pages because of the same reasons:
 * Withdrawn by nominator recent edits give me reason to support keep

 * One of the purposes of lists is that they can include entries that should have articles but don't yet, so red links are perfectly valid. I find it very difficult to believe that there is not more than one notable building in the whole of Chad or of the other countries listed. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:41, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Not when the whole list contains entries that have no evidence of notability. This isn't a travel guide.Ajf773 (talk) 23:14, 19 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hold. A list of historically, socially, or architecturally significant buildings and structures of any of these countries would be great. And many examples come to mind, none of which are on the these lists. I'd hold off on deleting these articles. Prburley (talk) 01:22, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Hold. I agree with Prburley, especially since I have been working on Africa articles, and can devote some effort to these lists.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 01:54, 20 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep all. I created List of buildings and structures in Eritrea, and it's quite interesting. These lists aren't candidates for AfD, they just need some time. Prburley (talk) 14:09, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep all. Being updated now.--Dthomsen8 (talk) 15:04, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * Comment. Most of these unsourced list articles were created in 2011 and have barely any contribution since then, and only until I've nominated them for AfD, people actually seem to care. I'm happy to withdraw the rest of the AFD's so long as we don't end up with list articles of this nature again. I also forgot to mention List of buildings and structures in Gabon.

 * Lack of editing of articles is not a reason for deletion. There is no deadline here. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 21:41, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * No but WP:LISTN is, which is what the whole purpose of this AfD is to establish whether or not this has been met. Why am I being told this by an IP? Ajf773 (talk) 23:07, 21 November 2016 (UTC)
 * You are being told this because your last comment implied that "barely any contribution since then" is a reason for deletion. And what does my lack of registration have to do with the subject under discussion here? 86.17.222.157 (talk) 07:57, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The reasons for AfD are at the header of the nomination. In five years with nil effort to make them worthy of inclusion in Wikipedia - hence the AfD. And in my opinion, editing Wikipedia should only be for registered users, it's far too easy to switch to another ip and conceal an editing history.Ajf773 (talk) 08:21, 22 November 2016 (UTC)
