The Department of West Asian and North African Affairs (People's Republic of China)

unencyclopedical article that lacks the basics for an article on an official departement, it does not even state which ministry it belongs to is, where it is based is totally unsourced. IMHO a clear candidate for PROD but as it was Unprodded without being improved it must go through AFD. Tagged since june 2017 without improvement.

Seems real to me. WP:BEFORE would have been useful here.--TM 14:31, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

note. I did a find sources for it; the first thing I found was the official site, and it is a word for word copy of that site’s introductory paragraph, so I have tagged it for speedy deletion as a copyright vio. I am not sure if the AfD trumps that, in which case it might be better blanked.--JohnBlackburne^words_deeds 15:18, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

No, AfD does not trump speedy deletion for copyright violation. Well spotted! 86.17.222.157 (talk) 15:27, 17 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
