Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The State of Non-timber Forest Resources in Nigeria


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was draftify‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. Consensus appears to suggest that the article needs work, but may merit a legitimate article in the future. Moved to draft rather than userify due to the creator requesting additional help from others. A strong indication has appeared that it will need a large re-write prior to being acceptable.

The State of Non-timber Forest Resources in Nigeria

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I was about to try and rescue the article by cleaning up the prose and performing a page move to a more encyclopedic title, but I found that all of the citations are generic and not specific to Nigeria. I'm getting the sense this is an AI generated essay and the content uses a very large amount of filler. I don't think there is much actual usable content here. Even the images are generic. microbiology Marcus (petri dish) 15:41, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep but WP:TNT. A few of the sources cited are legitimately about Nigerian non-timber forest resources.  Therefore this is a topic that has attention in secondary sources, so notability is met.  But the article is ultra-general, with essentially nothing in it that is Nigeria-specific or even Nigeria-related.  It does read like it was AI written, although the references I checked are real so at least it's not a hoax.  But as it stands this article is not adding anything to Wikipedia.  I could also support draftify. WeirdNAnnoyed (talk)  — Preceding undated comment added 18:30, 19 October 2023 (UTC)

 * No doubt, the article is my very first, and I think that in my attempt to adhere to the given guidelines for a standard article, I have somehow constrained the write-up. I guess I was overly cautious about it sounding like my personal take on the issue. Basically, it's a well-thought-out research, so the citations are not all generic. Over 70% of them are specific to Nigeria, and those that are not, tend to support ideas or facts that are generic to Non-Timber Forest Resources (NTFRs). Yes, some of the images are generic because I wouldn't upload images for which I have no license. To provide visual aids, I imported images from Wikimedia Commons, which has a free use license and very closely associated with the Nigerian system.
 * Fact is, the article is not yet complete. I was still researching journals to draft other sub-topics that would present the current state of NTFRs in Nigeria as the present is an overview of the topic, then I saw the banners. So, if I may request, Can I move it to my sandbox, take some days to rewrite and make the necessary adjustments to the article? Of course, with your help if you're willing. Thanks.
