I have just discovered that there is a page where it is possible to monitor articles for delation related to Africa. you find it here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_Deletion_sorting/Africa
maybe it can be relevant to put this page among your favorite pages or to check it once in a while if you want to provide your opinion. I think people in this mailing list might enrich significantly the discussions related to delation.
it is healthy to delate articles which present topics and people that are indeed not notable. but as we know, sometimes you need to have some background knowledge to actually know what is notable and what is not. your contribution in this would be great.
