Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa (country)[edit]

New WikiProject that mistakenly thinks Africa is a country. Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa already exists. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 16:40, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, along with it's userbox templates and anything else that was created for it. Appears to be a combination of part hoax and part madeup. Based on the creator's edits to Africa (country) this project seems to be referring to yet another attempt at claiming Bir Tawil, which isn't notable enough for it's own article, yet alone a wikiproject (the claim, not Bir Tawil). 86.23.109.101 (talk) 17:21, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete per WP:G3. Why are we even giving this blatant hoax the luxury of a week's discussion? The project's scope is clear in that aspect: "This group includes within its scope all articles related to the Kigndom of Africa, its cities, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Somaliland in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the Category:Kingdom of Africa or one of its subcategories." - Knowledgekid87 (talk) 18:08, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I was confused by that bit, Bir Tawil is about 2000Km away from Somaliland, so I don't see how they are related. I assume it's a copy paste error. 86.23.109.101 (talk) 18:15, 19 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Delete along with related userboxes/subpages, blatant hoax. — csc^-1 01:55, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as made up and as in Wikipedia is not for stupid stuff. But this is a content forum. Robert McClenon (talk) 14:51, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. At least according to the creator's attempt to start an article about a "country" called Africa, somebody allegedly self-declared Bir Tawil as an independent micronation of "Africa" last year — but they "sourced" that claim solely to a self-published "government" website that looks suspiciously like a copy of another country's website, and which 404s whenever you attempt to click on any of its subpages, and showed no evidence whatsoever of any reliable source coverage about said micronation to establish either that it exists or that anybody cares. This is not a thing we need a WikiProject about. Bearcat (talk) 19:05, 20 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]
