The Black Kings

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

It isn't entirely clear what this article is about. It has no references and does not establish notability. Portions of this article are written in the first person, which is not encyclopedic. This may be some sort of class project, but it is not an encyclopedic article. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:21, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment The article has numerous problems, the most important being I'm not entirely sure what the article is about. I feel like an AfD is a bit harsh, though. It's not entirely unreferenced, but the references aren't clear or in proper format. Not surprising considering it's the contributor's first submission to Wikipedia. It's definitely not a Wikipedia article as it stands as it currently violates WP:NOTESSAY, but I'm thinking Userify may be the best place for this and giving the author a chance to make changes.

 * Comment an admin may want to make sure this isn't a sock, though. SportingFlyer (talk) 02:34, 28 February 2018 (UTC)


 * Delete or Merge content into existing articles on Nubians and Nubia. None of the information is sourced, but it looks as if the original author might know what they are talking about, just English is not their native tongue. Bkissin (talk) 03:02, 28 February 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment this appears to be a copyright violation as a substantive portion of the text is taken from this message board, which was posted in 2012. Dan arndt (talk) 08:46, 28 February 2018 (UTC)
 * Merge cause this information or content already exits on articles Nubians and Nubia I think it should be Merged with any of those. Chabota Kanguya (talk) 10:48, 4 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete after the revdel, there's not enough context to determine the topic. More areas of Africa than just Sudan have had black kings. power~enwiki ( π,  ν ) 02:46, 8 March 2018 (UTC)
