Road signs in Uganda

This article has no sources. It is an image gallery rather than an encyclopedic article; see Wikipedia is not a gallery.

A copy of this article was created in article space, and was moved to draft space by User:Asukite, but this copy has been created in article space again, so that a second draftification is not possible. Robert McClenon (talk) 02:55, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete As per nom. un-Referenced article in-fact i should say a gallery does not fulfill wiki Guidelines. GermanKity (talk) 03:00, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think speedy delete applies here (although WP:A3 is close). Mlb96 (talk) 05:58, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I put in the source already. Kingwarnen (talk) 10:34, 3 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Kingwarnen, I see the PDF uploaded to pdfcoffee.com, which looks like a user hosting site. While I applaud your use of a public domain attribution, something we don't always see here, the source in question being hosted on a user-uploaded site calls it into question, and although it is government-published, it doesn't really address the main issue with the article: it's still pretty much just a gallery, with no in-depth encyclopedic content. The policy that Robert McClenon cited (WP:NOTGALLERY) would strike me personally as the most convincing argument for deletion in this discussion. I know I linked Road signs in India as an example, which bears striking similarity to this article, but does at least have a bit more descriptive coverage, if it is a bit lacking (and may have avoided being nominated for deletion so far because it's been around much longer) A S U K I T E 23:27, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - per my message above - if we could expand the text content in this article to alleviate the gallery issue, and add some more sources, I might change my mind, if anything because Road signs in India still exists. A S U K I T E 23:30, 4 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
