New subject: [African Wikimedians] 300 African women football players to rescue

27 Jan 2017

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)

  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:Flore_Enyegue
    - 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.
