Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Community Based Approaches to Sustainable Land Use in Rwanda

The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was soft delete‎. Based on minimal participation, this uncontroversial nomination is treated as an expired PROD (a.k.a. "soft deletion"). Editors can request the article's undeletion.

This article can be restored,, ideally to Draft space, upon request. I am surprised that it was brought to AFD less than 45 minutes after it was created. Content creators are generally given more time to work on a new article before deletion is considered. Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 02:31, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Appears to be an essay rather than an encyclopedia article about a specific topic, and reads like it is building a case to demonstrate the importance of a particular approach. A more encyclopedic way to go at it would be to write an article about the general topic itself (Land use in Rwanda) reflecting how it is treated in the sources.

Dear @Chaotic Enby, Thank you so much for your swift feedback, I really appreciate your feedback. Honestly, I want to learn more, I love research and writing, but I need guidance. Marking my article for deletion is not discouraging me, I need to be mentored because I feel like I am yet to develop confidence in contributing to Wikipedia, but I would love to keep making contributions, and I know I need time to learn

I will conduct research to better understand the differences between essays and encyclopedia articles. I would love to be guided properly to fixing the article instead of deleting it, as I will learn and then modify it to get it right.

I am open to learning and to make contributions

Delete: there are zero recorded uses of that term, so an article solely devoted to it doesn't make much sense. This content could maybe be kept, though, and introduced into the relevant articles. — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 17:05, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
