I do not agree with Reading Beans decision to move this article to draft space

Dear Reading Beans,

Thanks for your feedback and I sincerely appreciate it. However, I do not think your statement "it needs more sources to establish notability" is accurate. I also think your removal of the article from mainspace to draft is unilateral, without allowing discussions on the article and its merit and notability given that other editors just like yourself, have made inputs to the article previously, and thus you should have allowed a more democratic discussion on the article between you and the other previous contributors.

For each of the attributions made, in every segment of the article, there was an independent source with sufficient treatment of the subject in question. Please can you provide a proof of any of the independent sources cited, not being relevant or sufficient? I would love to get your feedback on this.

I invite you to reconsider the decision based on the issues I have raised above. This article and any other one indeed can be improved, but there is notability already established in my honest opinion, and I invite you to provide more feedback where you think this is not so.

I sincerely thank you for taking the time to go through my contribution and look forward to your response.

Regards

@Reading Beans: FYI. GoingBatty (talk) 20:39, 3 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Cfaso2000, thank you for raising these concerns. Firstly, my move was done in good faith as I assumed that this subject maybe somehow notable but cannot be in the mainspace when key informations in the article are gotten from generally unreliable Nigerian sources like Linda Ikeji's blog. Secondly, Wikipedia is not a democracy. You did a good job by initiating this conversation here in order to reach a consensus; that’s how we work.

So, I believe I have established the fact that it needs more coverage in independent, reliable sources (see a list of reliable Nigerian sources here). Keep up the good work by the way. Best, Reading Beans 03:21, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Reading Beans thanks for your response to my concerns. I was assuming that given that three independent sources cited such as Business Day, This Day, and the Punch have significant coverage on the subject (for some reason some stubs do not have this number of independent source coverage); and that some other secondary sources such as Techeconomy.ng, the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, UK, Loughborough University, UK(most UK and US university news teams do have an objective and verifiable process for news items and coverage, even when the item is to promote their university); and with the subject having coverage on the website of Award-giving institutions such as the British Council, and the Alliance for Financial Inclusion(well-known and respected global entities), that notability (which you said is "somehow" applicable here) have been established.

I thank you for contributing to improving this article. I would search for more sources, and would continue to build on the article, even though I believe the article merits mainspace as is, whilst continuous improvement and refinement (just like any other article) is a normal process.

Thank you once again and I wish you all the best. Cfaso2000 (talk) 04:28, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
