DYK for Nkandla compound firepool controversy

On 26 July 2015, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article Nkandla compound firepool controversy, which you recently created or substantially expanded. The fact was ... that a controversial pool, built at South African president Jacob Zuma's Nkandla compound and deemed as a "fire pool", has faced "public condemnation"?

Proposed deletion of Saxonwold shebeen

The article Saxonwold shebeen has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Nearly incomprehensible. Needs copy-edit.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.
