yes, samuel, add more and move back. just compare belinda kanda: * on wp:en:drafts, wrong and unsourced * on wp:de : https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Belinda_Kanda , properly sourced, at least some useful info same for shaila okai: * wp:de, properly sourced: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheila_Okai i agree that the draft move and breaking the link to the german wikipedia is not really helping the case here. a tag "translate from german" would have been the better option. maybe we could dump this on the bot authors to improve? (including wikimedia-gh as we talk about ghana football players) rupert On Fri, Jan 27, 2017 at 10:22 PM, Samuel Guebo &lt;samuelguebo(a)gmail.com <mailto:samuelguebo@gmail.com>> wrote: Hello @Florence, I took a look a the links and opened randomly several of them among which: * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sheila_Okai <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Sheila_Okai> * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Flore_Enyegue <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Flore_Enyegue> * https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Basilea_Amoa-Tetteh <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Draft:Basilea_Amoa-Tetteh> In my humble opinion, I do not see any substantive reason to delete them. Of course they are merely stubs, but stubs with a least one reference. What do you suggest? Adding additional references and moving them back to the main space? I am afraid the bot will do the same bulk deletion.

All articles created were moved to draft space, where they can rescued one by one (being fixed first). Upon quick checking... roughly 300 african women articles were concerned by the purge.
