Steel in Africa

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Delete. "Steel in Africa" is not a topic than can be covered by an article. What about iron? Should it be about steelmaking? Or mining iron ore? Why limit to a continent? The article has not gone very far since 2009o. -- Alan Liefting (talk) - 06:21, 24 September 2010 (UTC)


 * Weak keep I don't share the nominator's concerns about the nature of the article, only the minimal content currently present. I added a few sentences; a quick review of literature indicates there is discussion of this in the professional economic literature. --TeaDrinker (talk) 06:45, 24 September 2010 (UTC)

 * Keep. The nominator only gave reasons for possibly expanding the scope of this article, or for creating other articles. Neither of those processes requires deletion of this content. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:56, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
