Natural Resources Use in Kasulu

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Personal essay, synthesis. All of the author's contributions to Wikipedia have been essays about poverty in Tanzania. More appropriate places for such content would be scientific papers, newspaper reader comments pages, or a personal blog. Delete. J I P &#124; Talk 19:51, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Very blatant personal essay and/or WP:NOR. Specs112   t   c  20:16, 19 June 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete. Wikipedia is not for original research or essays; this would belong more properly in some sort of peer-reviewed journal or, as suggested above, various other fora for original thought.  No reliable sources, no notability.  Ubelowme (talk) 20:58, 19 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and Move to Natural resources use in Kasulu, or perhaps Natural resources use in Tanzania, with the section on Kasulu made into a subsection.
 * "Natural resource use" gets a zillion hits, as the primary descriptor of a country by Category:Development scholars-:. There are no other articles on WP with this focus, and no category by that name. By comparison, there are articles on minute details of Category:Microeconomics: Sonnenschein–Mantel–Debreu theorem, Surface Freight Forwarder Deregulation Act of 1986. Well documented start to a long overdue series of articles, one per country-not the first time the newbies have come and shown the experts what needs to be done.

 * Speedy keep Meets WP: GNG. This article has many citations from reliable sources. How is this original research? Electriccatfish2 (talk) 00:16, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep and move per Anarchangel. See the AFD for this user's other article. He needs to spend some serious quality time with WP:MOS and WP:TONE, but there's encyclopedic content hiding behind the essay format. --BDD (talk) 16:43, 27 June 2012 (UTC)
