The People's Republic of China- Propaganda in Africa[edit]

This article is drivel, it's basically an essay built on several sourced facts put together with the sole purpose of promoting the POV of the creator. The few relevant and unbiased facts can be added to Africa–China relations, the rest should be deleted. eh bien mon prince (talk) 08:17, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Strong WP:OR concerns, and in an article about propaganda, it's ironic that the entire article also reads like a propaganda piece for the Chinese government. As the nominator said, there is already an article on this, Africa-China relations, and that is an article with a much better title, (this one isn't even a valid redirect) a much more neutral writing style, and is mostly devoid of OR. In other words, the exact opposite of this. Lukeno94 (tell Luke off here) 13:12, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. I've raised it on the article's talk page quite some time ago, although it remains unanswered... There are many WP:OR issues, because the cited sentences are used to "pad" the article up while not addressing the actual topic (the rest is the user's own concluding remarks). If there's things to salvage, it should be merged into Africa-China relations. --Cold Season (talk) 16:59, 5 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - It is just a piece of propaganda material. STSC (talk) 21:35, 6 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - It reads like an essay made up of the author's personal opinion, with multiple instances of WP:editorializing and unsourced conclusions. Strong WP:POV and WP:OR concerns. -Zanhe (talk) 18:57, 9 July 2013 (UTC)[reply]
