Redirecting Paystack
[edit]Please stop redirecting Nigerian fintech history. This is not about an acquisition. Paystack was acquired by Stripe and has a wholesome stand-alone background that is entirely different from Stripe. Would you redirect YouTube to Google or WhatsApp to Facebook because it has been acquired?
Kindly resolve to a community discretion before redirecting the article.
The first 2 paragraphs are how sincerely I expressed myself before I knew you had done the reversion. :) Sincerely Onel. I respect your discretion and contributions to the community. But sincerely, there is a subconscious bias here. Danidamiobi (talk) 10:26, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
- Danidamiobi, I wasn't pinged to this discussion, so I left a message on your talk page. Onel5969 TT me 13:16, 22 June 2021 (UTC)
Is a 2nd delete nomination warranted?
[edit]Paystack has now faced two deletion nominations, first in October 2020 and now again in March 2025. Given the ongoing discussion, recent improvements, and broad coverage from reliable sources (WP:RS) such as BBC, CNN, Reuters, Irish Independent, Bloomberg, TechCrunch ..., it is worth considering how WP:NCORP and WP:GNG are being applied.
I noticed that the Brubank article, which is also a fintech, has never been nominated for deletion despite being stub-like. With a second deletion nomination and the discussion by editors Danidamiobi and Onel5969 above, could systemic bias (WP:BIAS) be influencing how notability is assessed for African companies?

- This is a very good point to make, thank you for asking this question. I think it certainly could be. I don't have data to say definitively yes/no, but I think it's worth digging into further even though the result was KEEP. Iknowyoureadog (talk) 21:16, 11 April 2025 (UTC)
