[edit] Ramona Africa
This is, to quote verbatim from WP policy, a "biography of a living person that is controversial in tone and unsourced, where there is no neutral point of view version in the history to revert to". "Controversial material of any kind that is unsourced or poorly sourced must be removed immediately, especially if potentially libelous". Groupthink 07:30, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Redirect to MOVE, from which she derives her notability. BTLizard 07:47, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Keep. As with John Africa, the nominator is citing the WP:BLP as a justification for deletion. Africa remains a current activist, most particularly in the Free Mumia case. 1100 Google News Archive results suggest that she is notable and that a balanced and sourced article could easily be created. --Dhartung | Talk 10:07, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
- Unlike with John Africa, WP:BLP directly applies. This person is living, and this article is low-quality... but you know what? In a gesture of good-will, I withdraw my AfD nom in the hopes that this material can be merged to MOVE, where it belongs. Groupthink 10:55, 20 May 2007 (UTC)
