Fails WP:SUSTAINED. A lot. Give it a year and see what happens. Redirect is theoretically possible, but there is nothing in the article that hints clearly where to. It's impressive that despite this thing being a week old, WP/Commons already have access to it's flag and coat of arms. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:31, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Keep: This article should be left. What I implore editors to do is to help expand with the multiple RS references retrieved. I view the article as a current event that will be robust in the future. It's worth a stand alone article. No redirect! Caleb Ndu (talk) 10:53, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Comment: Hi @Caleb Ndu: I've helped by bolding your keep vote. Whilse there are plenty of reliable sources [1], maybe it is Wikipedia:Too soon to have a stand-alone article for now. Mabye if we give it a year, the article might meet the sustainability guideline which is the nominator's argument. I see you are a new editor. Welcome to Wiki. Please don't be discouraged just in case this article ends up being deleted. I know it can be frustrating as a new editor when an article you've created and source ends up being deleted, but don't be discouraged. Read those two guidelines to help you understand. You did an amazing job on the article, but Wiki has its policies for article inclusion. So whatever happens, just keep up the good job and read the links to Wikipedia's policies posted on your talk page by an editor when they first welcomed you to Wiki. In the meantime, you can transfer the content on your own WP:Sandbox for example User:Caleb Ndu/sandbox whilst you give it time to see if it meets the sustainability guideline. If it ends up being deleted, at least you have it in your sandbox. I believe that is allowed.Tamsier (talk) 12:04, 20 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
