An article you recently created, Glen Mpani, does not have enough sources and citations as written to remain published. It needs more citations from reliable, independent sources. (?) Information that can't be referenced should be removed (verifiability is of central importance on Wikipedia). I've moved your draft to draftspace (with a prefix of "Draft:" before the article title) where you can incubate the article with minimal disruption. When you feel the article meets Wikipedia's general notability guideline and thus is ready for mainspace, please click on the "Submit your draft for review!" button at the top of the page.

Hello, Stephkapfunde, welcome to Wikipedia and thank you for your contributions. Your editing pattern indicates that you may be using multiple accounts or coordinating editing with people outside Wikipedia. Our policy on multiple accounts usually does not allow this, and users who misuse multiple accounts may be blocked from editing. If you operate multiple accounts directly or with the help of another person, please disclose these connections. I've blocked the Enthuse Afrika (talk · contribs) account, which is editing on your network. Please use just one account when editing, except for legitimate uses of multiple accounts.

A tag has been placed on Glen Mpani, requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because the page seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, group, product, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be deleted without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines. If the page is deleted, and you wish to retrieve the deleted material for future reference or improvement, then please contact the deleting administrator. 1292simon (talk) 01:01, 27 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

An article you recently created, Dr. Chaii, is not suitable as written to remain published. It needs citations from reliable, independent sources. (?)

Hello, Stephkapfunde. It has been over six months since you last edited the Articles for Creation submission or Draft page you started, "Genius Ginimbi Kadungure".

In accordance with our policy that Wikipedia is not for the indefinite hosting of material deemed unsuitable for the encyclopedia mainspace, the draft has been deleted. When you plan on working on it further and you wish to retrieve it, you can request its undeletion. An administrator will, in most cases, restore the submission so you can continue to work on it.

Thank you for your recent contributions. Getting started creating new articles on Wikipedia can be tricky, and you might like to try creating a draft of your article in draftspace or in your userspace first, which you can then ask for feedback on if necessary, with less risk of deletion. Do make sure you also read help available to you, including Your First Article and the Tutorial. You might also like to try the Article Wizard, which has an option to create a draft version.

side nite this is exactly why these challenges are important otherwise African stories won't be heard. Anytime we write about our people or subject matter we're met with immense scrutiny. Stephkapfunde (talk) 04:59, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

To start with, it's poorly formatted (tables go after the start of an article, not before), and the title is not that of an encyclopedia article. Something like "Banking and slavery" would be better. Sumanuil. _{(talk to me)} 05:19, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Gotcha but that's the competition's choice in title, didn't know I could change that lol. Let me keep working on it and I will nudge you when it's ready. I've already made some adjustments. Stephkapfunde (talk) 05:27, 13 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Stephanie, and thank you for your contributions. For the topic of the Catholic Church and slavery, as there is an existing article (Catholic Church and slavery) about that topic it would be best if you could make your additions there.

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article The Role of Banks and Insurance Companies in Slavery Profits is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Role of Banks and Insurance Companies in Slavery Profits until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article until the discussion has finished.

Hello SunLoungerFrog I've updated the page and added more citations, what's your take now? Stephkapfunde (talk) 12:38, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Stephkapfunde, I will be honest and say that a very quick look at some of the citations you've added (e.g. the new paragraph in the Profits from slavery section) don't really help the article. You seem to have done a quick Google search and sprinkled in some bits from books here and there. The point of a citation is that it directly supports the claim in the article.

I really think you would be better off starting from scratch, first gathering some good quality sources - which do exist, from what I can see - and then writing the article yourself, not using a LLM, from the information contained in them. I can't rescind the AfD discussion (and to be frank, I wouldn't do that on the basis of the edits you've made recently even if I could) because others also think that deletion is the best path for this article, and the two others you've written, at this stage. Of course, you are quite at liberty to participate in the deletion discussions yourself, and put your side forward. Cheers, SunloungerFrog (talk) 13:23, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I think you make a fair point, I might have to start over. I hope I can get it right before you delete it Stephkapfunde (talk) 18:44, 23 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I would say, just let whatever happens to the current article happen. Take your time on gathering some good sources for a second go, and then compose it from those sources in your sandbox or draftspace, and when it's in decent shape, and notability via WP:GNG is obvious, only then publish it in mainspace. Generally, there is no rush: you aren't going to be scooped. Once you have a decent draft together, I'd be happy to take a look at it informally.
