Request for Clarification (Blessing Abeng)
Hello.... Please I'd love you to review a page you tagged "Blessing Abeng" again (if you don't mind). Firstly, to the best of my ability, the article was written from a plain neutral point of view with reliable sources and coverage from both national and international newspapers. To this effect, I made some edits that you may want to review, please.
Also, the 'COI' tag may have been a misunderstanding. I have no connection or whatsoever with the subject. The article was created as part of my contribution to Wikipedia and as part of my Women Wiki Project (Africa). I anticipate your quick response, please. Cheers. Mevoelo (talk) 05:43, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Mevoelo, I would appreciate a wikilink if you don't mind, as I am a bit busy working on an article at the moment. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 05:53, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Here it is please: Blessing Abeng Mevoelo (talk) 05:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Mevoelo, before I continue to analyse the sources, see, a list of reliable sources from Nigeria.
- Having note that; the sources present that has in-depth information about her are not reliable sources. Forbes Africa is different from Forbes itself as they are owned by separate entities, and, making it to the list of "30 Under 30" does not in any way make anyone notable (these lists and awards most times are paid for; it is business).
- The reliable sources present are press releases, (read this policy about press releases, here) talking about selling the company or some event therein.
- MIPAD is just like a regular blog curating list of people and so, does not meet to be included as a reliable source.
- I would advise you to move it draft as myself or another editor would definitely list it at article for deletion discussion.
- As you claimed to have no connection or compensation whatsoever, doing so what not be hard as you could always look for another notable topic to write about. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 07:10, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
- Here it is please: Blessing Abeng Mevoelo (talk) 05:59, 7 August 2023 (UTC)
Hello, Reading Beans,
I have removed a mention you made about the ethnicity/nationality of an article creator in your deletion nomination. That, along with gender, race, sexual orientation or any other personal characteristics of editors, isn't relevant to discussing whether or not an article meets Wikipedia guidelines and could serve to insert bias into a discussion. Please leave observations about the personal qualities of editors out of discussions like those at AFD and just focus on the merits or flaws of the article being discussed. I didn't use the "redacted" template because that would just serve to draw more attention to your comment so I'm just leaving a note here on your talk page. Thank you. Liz Read! Talk! 23:05, 11 August 2023 (UTC)
- Liz, I am a Nigerian also. I only added the ethnicity of the page creator to buttress my point as to why it could be a paid job and not mere speculations. I’ve seen editors use words like: "Nigerian sources", "Indian sources", "Pakistani sources", et cetera to prove their point about the reliability of an article. And I do hope that you understand that it was used in good faith and nothing personal.
- Thank you for pointing that out if it is offensive. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:47, 12 August 2023 (UTC)
Please help with this
Hello sir, here is an article of an African artist Draft:JZyNO I’ve added different references based on news source, and the other article I was asked to re-write Draft:Instigator Ph, please I need your feedback and assistance on them. Madeforall1 (talk) 15:59, 14 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Madeforall1, JZNO is probably notable and so, I would have accepted the draft as it has now. For Instigator Ph, address the concerns left by Greenman. Strip off some phrases and sections, then ping me. I'll accept it. I'm sorry for replying this later. I thought I had earlier. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 05:16, 18 August 2023 (UTC)

Thank you for tackling Philip Agbese
I was not really sure what to do with it when I saw it so flagged its many issues and was confident that "the community" would rise to the occasion. There were reasons I felt unable to return it to draft. 🇺🇦 FiddleTimtrent FaddleTalk to me 🇺🇦 07:22, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Timtrent, thank you for pointing the issues. I was almost prompted to move it to draft but I just decided to stub it. I will improve the article more as it seems as the creator was paid to write it using some promo. languages. Once again, thank you. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Clarification
Hello, I received an email and a notification on my account and email that “The page Buike has been reviewed”. But when I check the article the editor also reviewed it and nominated it for deletion but I’m not sure of his reason, what should I do please. Madeforall1 (talk) 08:55, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Madeforall1, the user reviewed it to remove it from the queue. If the article survives then it's fine. If it gets deleted then... Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:00, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
- But the article didn’t show on google search when I checked. Madeforall1 (talk) 13:03, 18 August 2023 (UTC)
Concerning Julius Oyedemi
PWAN Homes is really large in Nigeria. And this is all the sources I can find on the subject matter based on https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Nigeria/Nigerian_sources. There are several more sources but I stuck to the ones that were listed reliable. IrishCream001 (talk) 07:19, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
- @IrishCream001, have you read Wikipedia's policy of living person's about in-depth coverage? Please do. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:29, 19 August 2023 (UTC)
Nigerian Naira notes
Hello Reading Beans, trust you're doing food :) Pardon me for the pun, Reading Beans! I want to bring this draft about Nigerian Naira notes to your attention if you could take a look and probably join me in improving it. Kind Regards. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:31, 22 August 2023 (UTC)

Good morning Reading Beans. Hope you're having a great day. Please take a look at this draft. Regards Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces, you have beat me to it. I've been wanting to write about it. Many thanks for doing so. In fact, it has given me an idea on the next article to write. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 19:20, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hehe, as a matter of fact, there are lots of topics in the Nigerian context that are missing in Wikipedia that I have in my off-wiki to-do list.
- Thanks for checking it out though :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:20, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Assistance
Please assist on this draft: Draft:The Next Star Awards. Thank you. Esthersp (talk) 21:13, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Esthersp, I'll leave other eyes to review. It is not notable in my eyes. Wait. I'll have to decline. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 21:32, 24 August 2023 (UTC)
- You said it's not written in a formal tone, should I rewrite the article? Please advise. Esthersp (talk) 22:07, 24 August 2023 (UTC)

Japa
Hello Reading Beans, take a look at this draft :) Regards! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:55, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces, stop reading my mind. Will you? :) Mehn! Thanks for creating this. Among the list of slangs, I was only able to create Soro Soke and I've been wanting to create Sapa and Japa for a long time now. Again, many thanks for creating! Best, Reading Beans (talk) 14:00, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
- Thank you too for looking! I don't mind you suggest some articles for me though, I am not interested in creating articles about people/organisations for now. So, any suggestions would be appreciated! Kudos for the Soro Soke article too. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 14:06, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

Hi Reading Beans, please check this draft out. Regards. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 17:46, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
Ehen!
Hello Reading Beans, I’m here again :) Please take a look at this.
Regards! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:09, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces, you're doing a nice job. You can now create articles directly in the mainspace. If it doesn't get reviewed between a day or two, ping me. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 18:48, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Reading Beans Thanks for the comment! I’ve known that I can create articles in main space since I became autoconfirmed. But most times I’m inclined to use the AFC process until I become maybe extendedconfirmed.
- Don’t mind me if it looks like I’ve added to much messages on your talk page recently :) Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:56, 26 August 2023 (UTC)
- It’s fine, really. Nigerian even needs more articles (and also GAs! God! I’ve been wanting to write one) and you’re doing a good job! Kudos! Best, Reading Beans (talk) 08:13, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Yeah, actually, we really need more Nigerian articles in the GA status, I'm just being lazy digesting the GA criteria, lol, I taya jare. But I'll take my time to digest the GAs criteria and see if we can push few articles to that status together. I'd really be interesting for me though. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 11:19, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces, looking forward to this! Best, Reading Beans (talk) 13:06, 27 August 2023 (UTC)
- Also, there's this draft that you probably missed or something. I would love to hear from you. User:Vanderwaalforces/Nigerian Naira notes Vanderwaalforces (talk) 13:20, 27 August 2023 (UTC)

University of Africa, Toru-Orua
Hey Reading Beans, I have this draft ready for review. Please take a look. Regards! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:16, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Regarding this one, I saw that the reviewer moved it to draftspace and the next edit summary was cleaning up submission while it hadn’t been moved to mainspace. Is this a bug or something of the like? Because I have noticed it several times for other reviewers too. I’m sure the reviewer thinks it has been publish to mainspace by now whereas it’s not. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 21:24, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces, it’s not a bug; they moved it to the proper space where it should be (as I noted below). Best, Reading Beans (talk) 22:42, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- check for weasel words, please. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 22:44, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Reading Beans, good morning! I removed weasel words. Can you check now? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 08:55, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- You might probably want to take a look at this draft yourself. Regards Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:47, 29 August 2023 (UTC)

Creek Town
I have a draft on this topic here already, but there's a draft here at Draft:Creek_Town already, I didn't take note initially. Can they be merged? what do you think? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 18:48, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Was the latter comment below meant for this thread? Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:55, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- I think you can move it directly from my userspace to mainspace, then I can merge necessary info from the present draft to the one on mainspace (my version), then I redirect. Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:56, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hi Reading Beans! I have merged the draft to the mainspace one. I think the mainspace needs to be reassessed because it's no longer a stub. Regards! Vanderwaalforces (talk) 12:06, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- @Vanderwaalforces, just came back from work (school's about to resume so) and thus the late reply. You can reassess the article to the standard you deem fit. Best, Reading Beans (talk) 18:58, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
- Oh dear, I hope God makes things easier for us all. No problems at all with the late reply, it’s totally understandable.
- Okay, I would reassess the article appropriately. Regards Vanderwaalforces (talk) 20:19, 29 August 2023 (UTC)
