Deletion Contestation

The Nomination section, subsection Consideration of the Deletion Guide states that “Before nominating a recently created article, please consider that many good articles started their Wikilife in pretty bad shape. Unless it is obviously a hopeless case, consider sharing your reservations with the article creator, mentioning your concerns on the article's discussion page, and/or adding a "cleanup" template, instead of bringing the article to AfD”. The above words summarize my stand. The article was connected to wikidata item Q126295602 on the 2nd of June, 2024 few days after creating it. I hold this to be a fact, that this article is not a “hopeless case” nor in a “pretty bad shape”.

The Deletion guideline goes on to say “First do the necessary homework and look for sources yourself, and invite discussion on the talk page by using the notability template, if you are disputing the notability of an article's subject. The fact that you haven't heard of something, or don't personally consider it worthy, are not criteria for deletion. You must look for, and demonstrate that you couldn't find, any independent sources of sufficient depth”. I’m not so sure if the last statement was carried out before putting the deletion tag by the editor.

The policy further states that “Deletion happens when a page is unsuitable, unhelpful, or does not meet the required criteria”, which are neutral point of view, verifiability, and "no original research". This article hasn't violated any of these three cardinal content policies. All the material and references cited in the article are “verifiable in reliable, published sources”. The article is helpful in the space of entertainment law and the stakeholders driving its adoption and localization in Nigeria.

Notability policy states that “the person who is the topic of a biographical article should be worthy of notice or note—that is, remarkable or significant, interesting, or unusual enough to deserve attention or to be recorded within Wikipedia as a written account of that person's life. Notable in the sense of being famous or popular—although not irrelevant. People are presumed notable if they have received significant coverage in multiple published secondary sources that are reliable, intellectually independent of each other and independent of the subject.”

The references cited in this article are reliable secondary sources that are verifiable. Every article on wikipedia is a work in progress, this article should be improved instead, not deleted. If pages like Nyma Akashat Zibiri, Ezinne Akudo, Richard Ali, Chuks Anyaduba, Bamidele Aturu, Ayokunle Ayoko who are all lawyers, to mention but a few, are still part of the encyclopedia community, and are being worked on, this article should be part of wiki also and be improved.

In closing, I do understand that “the deletion process is about the appropriateness of the article for inclusion in Wikipedia”. A deletion nomination is not a rejection of me or an attack on my value as a member of the Wikipedia community who has been contributing to the platform for six year, two months. Whatever the outcome of the resolution is, it won’t be taken personally. Thanks.
