Yet another AI-generated article chockful of WP:SYNTH, created as part of that one Africa edit-a-thon (meta:Event:Africa_Wiki_Challenge_2025/AWC_List_of_Articles). The majority of the references are fictitious or do not support what the article is saying. Most of the article isn't even about the African Development Bank's position on reparations, and the section that is doesn't seem like it warrants its own article.

If actual reliably sourced info can be found covering this topic, then it can be added to the African Development Bank article, and this can be redirected there. ApexParagon (talk) 04:03, 23 July 2025 (UTC)

• Delete- Topic may be notable, but separating any kernels of meaningful information from this jumble of WP:SYNTH and mostly hallucinated references would be a herculean task. Rises to the level of WP:TNT. Zzz plant (talk) 04:30, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
• Delete - many references (I have listed three examples below) are hallucinated by LLM. Strongly recommend WP:TNT. Were it to exist, I would have nominated this under the new speedy deletion criterion that is under discussion Wikipedia talk:Speedy deletion § RFC: New CSD for unreviewed LLM content.

• Delete: The creator seems to have used AI to create several articles relating to reparations in Africa. It is better to delete these due to the fake references and potential hallucinated information. Schützenpanzer (Talk) 23:32, 23 July 2025 (UTC)
