November 2016

Hello, I'm MelbourneStar. I wanted to let you know that I removed one or more external links you added to Kayode Oduoye because they seemed inappropriate for an encyclopedia. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page or take a look at our guidelines about links. Thanks. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:37, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Please do not add inappropriate external links to Wikipedia, as you did with this edit to Kayode Oduoye. Wikipedia is not a collection of links nor should it be used for advertising or promotion. Inappropriate links may include, but are not limited to, links to personal websites, links to websites with which you are affiliated and links that attract visitors to a website or promote a product. See the external links guideline and spam guideline for further explanations. Because Wikipedia uses the nofollow attribute value, its external links are disregarded by most search engines. If you feel the link should be added to the article, please discuss it on the article's talk page rather than re-adding it. Thank you. —MelbourneStar☆^talk 11:49, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

RE:DELETION OF ARTICLE ON LATEEF BAKARE

I curated an article on Lateef Akande Bakare and it was flagged for deletion even while I was still working on the said article.The character in focus is a well-known accountant in Nigeria but unfortunately most of the references that can be cited on him are not notable to the standard of Wikipedia.In fact some of the interviews he granted some newspapers some years back are not searchable again online because links to them are not available...I had an opportunity of interviewing this fellow in 2008 in the course of my working as a journalist here in Nigeria.The interview was published both online and offline but unfortunately,the online edition is not available again.I have decided to create an article on him because much of the information about him is not online,hence it may be difficult for future generation to know about this man who has done much for humanity.I am of the view that if the article is allowed to go live,many persons/Wikipedia users who are familiar with him my cite some acceptable references about him.In this regard,I want to suggest that the notice of deletion placed on the article should be removed,particularly when I have supplied some references on the article that substantially meet the Wikipedia standard.Instinct71 (talk) 10:26, 17 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
