Wikipedia:WikiProject Deletion sorting/Zimbabwe

This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Zimbabwe. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.

Adding a new AfD discussion

Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:

1. Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Zimbabwe|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.

There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.

Removing a closed AfD discussion

Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.

Other types of discussions

You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Zimbabwe. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

This list is also part of the larger list of deletion debates related to Africa.

• Weak keep There appear to be two Gadzemas in Zimbabwe - one is a neighbourhood of Chinhoyi and the other is a mining settlement 10km north of Chegutu. Listed as a place in stories such as [1] [2] [3]. SportingFlyer T·C 00:00, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

SportingFlyer For clarity, which one are you suggesting our article should cover?4meter4 (talk) 00:08, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

The mining settlement, because the other is a neighbourhood which would need to pass GNG. SportingFlyer T·C 00:08, 28 November 2025 (UTC)

We need to be cautious here. It is in fact a village with some coverage here [4] [5](passing mention here [6]), and there is actually quite a bit of coverage about the Chief Dakamela. It's also listed in this document [7] as a grain depot and health center, so it appears to be a more important village (at least in terms of having more developed institutions) than others. I don't believe that the Zimbabwe released census information that went down to the district level, but aggregated municipalities, we should probably merge to Nkayi, Zimbabwe and make a section for listing the villages.
