The Scout Association of Nigeria

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

unnecessary and misnamed duplicate of Boy Scouts of Nigeria created because sole editor doesn't like me deleting his vanity edits to BSN. Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 17:01, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * It's clear the editor is quite knowledgeable about the subject, but has no idea what is appropriate for Wikipedia. The article is poorly written, and filled with hyperbole, honorifics, trivia and anachronisms. I have moved the parent article to the 1999-changed name, and salvaged all relevant, verifiable, non-vanity information from the article being discussed. I further fact-tagged and inline-tagged it, the research is there but it is not added in where it should go. All other information must be left out. The author's self-bio article Soneye Philip was deleted as non-notable and should in no way be recreated.--Kintetsubuffalo (talk) 14:23, 25 August 2016 (UTC)


 * According to https://www.scout.org/nso the correct name is "The Scout Association of Nigeria". 86.17.222.157 (talk) 17:26, 24 August 2016 (UTC)

I am writing this as one of the National officer in Charge of all Nigeria Scouts in Diaspora with authority from the Chief Commissioner and its council. Wikicontrol 19:45, 24 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikicontrol001 (talk • contribs)
 * The Article gives clear and true story of the Scout Association of Nigeria. It gives facts, correct figures with references of happenings in the association. The association was named Boy Scout of Nigeria (BSN) in 1915 when it was founded but was registered under the Company Allied Matters of 1924 as the Boy Scout Association of Nigeria. In 1999 at the General Annual meeting of the Association, the name was changed to The Scout Association of Nigeria, so as to accommodate all Genders both Boys, Girls, Men and Women. So, there is nothing like Boy Scout of Nigeria anymore and most information of the Wikipedia bout scouting in Nigeria was wrong. The association have highest number of scouts in Africa. Thanks
 * Wikicontrol001, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a web-hosting service, and as such its articles are not owned by their subjects, so your position and authority have no bearing on what should be included. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)


 * Speedy close. There are two issues here, one of which is the title of the article, and the other the content. In neither case is article deletion part of the solution, because any resolution would involve redirecting one title to the other, so this is the wrong forum to discuss them. 86.17.222.157 (talk) 20:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the contribution and good information, I am aware of the rule and policy of Wikipedia, I am not imposing the article as a member of The Scout Association of Nigeria (SAN) but only letting this forum know that there is nothing like Boy Scout of Nigeria since 1924. I am aware that Wikipedia will like to pass correct and true information to the public through their articles and that was one of the reason I took it upon myself to write the true story and also open it corrections from members in Nigeria.

 * Further assistance will be needed on how to delete Boy Scout of Nigeria because the name does not exist anymore and does not reflect the true picture of scouting in Nigeria. Thanks Wikicontrol 21:09, 24 August 2016 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wikicontrol001 (talk • contribs)
