- Keep: Note the preferred English name is African Institute for Prospective Studies.1 Founded by the UN, it collects several notable academic institutes at the University of Kinshasa, publishes books, and organizes conferences. Individual institutes, such s the Centre d'Études Égyptologiques C. A. Diop grant degrees. I'll continue coming up with refs, but Congo is not the most wired place, and the University has not been well funded since the 1990s, making electronic sources hard to come by. The article itself is not an article, but a half translated brochure. I'll tear it down as I find sources. T L Miles (talk) 05:29, 18 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep as an obviously notable organisation. I've already issued a final warning to the nominator, who despite repeated warnings is continuing apparently going through Special:Allpages tagging articles for deletion for spurious reasons. – iridescent 19:55, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]
