 * Draftify/delete – despite unsourced, the article have useful prose and can be incubated. Otherwise, it may appear that the events should appear first on the main article until it is too much enough to merit an article. Toadette  (Happy holiday!) 06:04, 20 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment -- From a purely policy perspective, delete is the only option. However, this is a case of an article created a few weeks too early. The odds of that conflict magically resolving itself in the next eleven days is rather slim. CRYSTAL or not, there will be 2024 developments pretty quickly with appropriate sourcing. Is it honestly worth the time and attention to slog through an AfD when it's pretty certain that the article will be back mere days after the process closes?

 * Weak keep -- There are similar annual articles for preceding years since 2017, covering conflict between anglo- and franco-phone communities in Cameroon. I am not prepared to say whether they should or should not exist, as being too detailed for WP, but this is no more than a week premature now, so that it might be kept.  If this is to be deleted, we should be deleting (or merging) all the timelines of this series, not just 2024.  Peterkingiron (talk) 11:11, 24 December 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Redirect to Anglophone Crisis: yes, the target is on the large side, but there's no point to spinning off an empty article. And if portions do end up getting spun off, it should be done based on major developments, not by calendar year. The seven existing annual timeline pages are unwieldy and unencyclopedic.
