The result was merge to Mining industry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. WP:UNDUE emphasis on the Canadian aspect. King of ♥ ♦ ♣ ♠ 07:01, 13 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
My initial prod was disputed, so I'm bringing this to full AFD instead. The core issue here is that fundamentally, this isn't so much an encyclopedia article as it is an exercise in public service journalism; the article's creator readily admitted on my talk page that they created it in response to an online debate about whether the Canadian business community should or shouldn't divest itself of natural resources investments in the Congo. What the article fails to do, however, is to demonstrate that "Canadian mining companies operating in the Democratic Republic of the Congo" actually constitutes a uniquely encyclopedic class of thing that's identifiably distinct from what other countries' mining companies are or aren't doing there; instead, the point seems to be to collate original research into a journalistic source that can inform and contribute to an active political debate in Canada. Which, admittedly, is a valuable project to take on — but given that we're an encyclopedia, not a public journalism hub, Wikipedia isn't really the place for it. I still believe it's a delete.
