Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Afusat Saliu

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 Merge into female genital mutilation and convert to a redirect to that article. This one took a while to consider, which may be why it was left open for so long. While the numbers lean delete, this is a classic case of the strengths of arguments making the case, rather than the numbers. As for Afusat, no one has provided a strong argument to counter the BLP1E concerns. It is all she is known for. On the other hand, the event is noteworthy and documented. That doesn't necessarily make it notable according to Wikipedia standards (ie: a rename would likely be insufficient). Many of the deletes and even the nom mentioned merging, so it seems clear the issue isn't with the information, but is instead with it being a stand alone article. It also makes sense that someone might search for that term, and they will at least get to the entire article or the subsection that covers this woman. Being noteworthy, it is worth inclusion somewhere else, where it will arguably have more impact and add more value to the reader. If events change and Saliu's status changes as to notability, there should be no prejudice against an article being recreated, but at this time the arguments fall on the side of merging. I have converted to a redirect, and will leave the merging to the actual editors of the articles, who can use the article history for material. Dennis Brown |  | WER 14:50, 14 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
