Delete Too young, too soon, can't verify in reliable sources that it is a notable website yet. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:41, 11 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect, see below. Dennis Brown (talk) 10:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy delete Not at all clear how this might meet notability guidelines. RadioFan (talk) 13:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Doesn't meet any of the criteria for speedy deletion, so that isn't an option. Dennis Brown (talk) 17:58, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Really good coverage in Italy. Huge. Multiple sources from the Italian news agencies La Repubblica, Il Sole 24 Ore and Corriere del Mezzogiorno, Nigrizia, AffarItaliani.it, and the English-language-but-trivial-coverage mediabistro.com (Designism 3.0 Showcases ‘Simple Ideas That Help People) I made translations of two sources at random; The La Repubblica article is devoted entirely to the project, and the Africultures article is more indepth about the nuts and bolts of the project than even our Project page here is.

Comment, isn't this moot now that it's a redirect? If not, then delete, although I don't really mind the cross-namespace redirect. Cool Hand Luke 14:26, 29 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
- Reply I restored the page. A page shouldn't be redirected in the middle of an AFD. That said, redirecting it to Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa is likely the best solution, and I'm guessing the closing admin may do just that. Dennis Brown (talk) 10:25, 30 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  - Commment. WikiProject Africa may not necessarily be related to WikiAfrica. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:20, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
    - Comment WikiAfrica focuses on getting external Africa-based, cultural organisations, museums and archives, as well as bloggers and journalists, to contribute their knowledge to Wikipedia. WikiProject Africa mainly wants to improve Wikipedia's coverage of Africa. Riannedac (talk) 10:15, 30 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep with Italian sources for now, with English sources to follow. WP:NOENG allows us to use foreign language sources, although English language sources are preferred. Crisco 1492 (talk) 09:20, 1 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]
