Warning about blanking of Thomas Mensah
[edit]You have now blanked this article twice. You are not the only contributor, so you have no right to insist on its deletion. Now that a copyright violation has been asserted, the only way to get back to normal is for people to deal with the copyright violation. The steps for doing that are listed in the {{copyviocore}} template which has been applied to the page. A discussion is occurring at Wikipedia:Copyright problems/2015 March 6. I recommend that you leave the Thomas Mensah article alone. Others will deal with it who understand copyright. If you blank the article again, you are risking a block. Thank you, EdJohnston (talk) 16:42, 6 March 2015 (UTC)

Speedy deletion nomination of Black Star International Film Festival
[edit]
If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Black Star International Film Festival, 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 removed 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.

Bishop Sam Owusu moved to draftspace
[edit]An article you recently created, Bishop Sam Owusu, 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. Mccapra (talk) 07:39, 24 October 2020 (UTC)
This article is ready for mainspace and I think it is rather unfortunate you feel it doesn't have enough citations becase if you take a cursory glance at it for yourself you will notice it's a full blown article beyond a stub about a notable public figure. Kindly revert from keeping it here and let it be republished. Do enjoy your day out there... Oralofori (talk) 09:09, 24 November 2020 (UTC)

The article ModernGhana has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
2nd nomination for deletion. Issue: Lack of notability, lack of proper citations, and self-advertising
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

[edit] Thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. Regarding your recent edits to Afua Sam when you modified the page, you introduced unknown parameters. Just because you specify |some_param=some_variable does not always mean that variable will display. The |some_param= must be defined in the template. You can look at the documentation for the template you are using but it is also helpful to use the preview button before you save your edit; this helps you find any errors you have made and ensure that the values you have added are displaying correctly. Below the edit box is a Show preview button. Pressing this will show you what the page will look like without actually saving it. It is strongly recommended that you use this before saving. Note I have likely fixed the error by now so check the history of the page to see how it was fixed. If you have any questions, contact the help desk for assistance.

Speedy deletion nomination of Afua Sam
[edit]If this is the first article that you have created, you may want to read the guide to writing your first article.
You may want to consider using the Article Wizard to help you create articles.
A tag has been placed on Afua Sam, requesting that it be deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under two or more of the criteria for speedy deletion, by which pages can be deleted at any time, without discussion. If the page meets any of these strictly defined criteria, then it may soon be deleted by an administrator. The reasons it has been tagged are:
- It seems to be unambiguous advertising which only promotes a company, product, group, service, person, or point of view and would need to be fundamentally rewritten in order to become encyclopedic. (See section G11 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Please read the guidelines on spam and Wikipedia:FAQ/Organizations for more information.
- It appears to be about a person, organization (band, club, company, etc.), individual animal, or web content, but it does not indicate how or why the subject is important or significant: that is, why an article about that subject should be included in an encyclopedia. (See section A7 of the criteria for speedy deletion.) Such articles may be deleted at any time. Please see the guidelines for what is generally accepted as notable.
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, or if you have already done so, you can place a request here. Zackmann (Talk to me/What I been doing) 00:13, 26 May 2026 (UTC)
- Based on the Wikipedia article and coverage available, here are strong reasons the *Afua Sam* page meets Wikipedia’s notability guidelines and should *not* be deleted: 41b8
- 1. She meets Wikipedia’s “Creative Professionals” notability criteria*
- WP:CREATIVE says a person is notable if they’ve created a significant body of work that has been the subject of multiple independent reviews/coverage. Afua Sam qualifies:
- - *Significant awards*: She’s a multiple winner of _Fashion Designer of the Year_ and _Fashion Icon of the Year_ at the Divas of Colour International Women Awards in London. Awards with international scope help establish notability. 41b8
- - *High-profile clientele + events*: Her garments have been worn at the Oscars, Grammy Awards, BET Awards, _Black Panther_ premieres, _The Color Purple_ world premiere, and the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Dressing figures like Bozoma Saint John shows industry impact. 41b8
- 2. Significant coverage in reliable, independent sources*
- WP:GNG requires “significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject.” The article cites:
- - *Major publications*: _Essence_, _Marie Claire_, _Women's Wear Daily_, _Vogue_, _Glamour_, _The Washington Post_, and _District Fray_. These are WP:RS and not trivial mentions. 41b8
- - *Feature stories*: _VoyageBaltimore Magazine_ ran a "Hidden Gems" profile on her background, business founding, and journey. That’s in-depth, independent coverage. ea7b
- 3. Founded notable organizations/brands*
- She founded *Studio D’Maxsi Designs* in 2006 and *The A Concept by Afua Sam*. Both are Washington D.C.-based fashion houses with documented celebrity clients and red-carpet presence. Creating organizations with documented impact supports WP:ANYBIO. 41b8
