[edit] Aang Serian Drum

Notability of this media center not established. Prod tag removed previously. cholmes75 (chit chat) 15:05, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

  • I have made changes to reflect the level of establishment of Aang Serian Drum. Notably 1) AS Drum is the first center of its kind in East Africa. 2) The Center has been awarded funds by the United Nations and 3) National Geographic. And 4) I have added an external link to an article that helps establish the validity of Aang Serian Drum.
  • Weak delete. Although an admirable group; even with the additions, I do not think that it has sufficient notability. Also, the use of the web-site address as the caption to the picture smaks of WP:SPAM.SkierRMH 06:24, 15 November 2006 (UTC)
fwiw: that's an info box not frame around an image. hence it has a 'web' entry, obv needs filling in (hence someone reverted change as vandal/mistake). please check before such claims.  ⇒ bsnowball  11:35, 19 November 2006 (UTC)
  • Neutral. As I yet have to fully comprehend what policies exist on Wikipedia I cannot take either side, although personally I believe that it is better to cover a in that location rare group then dismiss them for being non-notable. How is notability applied in this case? How well-known they are in the USA? How much effect their work has? --Nyp 09:16, 15 November 2006 (UTC)

  • <Dont delete>": This information and the projects it talks about are of tremendous value and very relevant to issues here in the US. Also dont agree why we should always see issues as they to US. Youth movement around the world, musical responces to AIDS, preservation to world Indigenous cultures and the global information society such as this one in Tanzania is a valuable lessons and links that student, faculty, researchers could use to understand a wide array of issues such as social change, political movements and globalization. These young people like many in this world today are using technology to create local solutions and this is a great initiative. It should be noted that in countries like Tanzania, the ability to create and produce media is not as easy as here in America. Most importantly, these media messages are crucial in disseminating vital information such as AIDS education, environmental destruction, good governance and gender issues. This is a gun, but a peaceful gun against all forms of injustices* —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mrafiq (talk • contribs)
