Royal Humanitarian Order of the Kingdom of Gbi Traditional Area Hohoe

Non-notable chivalric orders under the patronage of a non-resident Ghanaian tribal king. Both created in article space and moved to draft space by

independent sources. No evidence of recognition by any nations. Robert McClenon (talk) 05:52, 30 September 2022 (UTC)[reply

I have more references than other pages about orders from sub-national monarchies, which are published on wikipedia, with few sources, and mostly referenced by their own page.
I used most of the same references as the Royal Order of the Elephant of Godenu and the Royal Order of the Lion of Godenu, both of which have few references, mostly referencing their own webpage, and most of the links don´t work Leo0274 (talk) 17:27, 3 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Comparing these pages to other sub-national monarchy's orders pages that have been published, and are still online, on Wikipedia, these two have a lot more references. Specially when compared to the pages of the Order of the Lion of Godenu and the Order of the Elephant of Godenu, which only reference their own website or links that don't work — Preceding unsigned comment added by 200.203.153.46 (talk) 02:48, 9 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I reinstate my previous argument: my pages have a lot more references than most other pages of the same topic (Orders from sub-national monarchies), for example Royal Order of the Lion of Godenu and the Royal Order of the Elephant of Godenu, which mostly reference their own website and broken links.

WP:SIGCOV? Can you list two sources thgat discuss this entity at significant lenght, and explain what makes them reliable? Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 08:47, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply

If it is better than an article that was cosidered good enough to be posted, then I believe it is good enough.
On reliability: I think that the Order´s own website is the most reliable source of information, at least when talking about the insignia, ranks and information like that. Leo0274 (talk) 19:40, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
On notability, there is even a link in Portuguese talking about it, so it was notable enough to have foreigners talk about it Leo0274 (talk) 19:44, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If something exist is relevant because it shows how the guidelines and rules are applied, creating a precendent. And rules must be applied eqqually to every page.
So, if page A exists, has broken links for references and is referencing their own wesite, then page B, that also references B´s webpage and has a higher number of references, should also exist.
Speacially if A and B are both the same thing. 189.36.253.4 (talk) 19:58, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
  • Delete the sources cited may or may not support the basic veracity of this topic, but they do not establish notability, and while that remains the case, everything else is moot. --DoubleGrazing (talk) 08:59, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
    My article has more references than other articles on the same subject that are currently online, so my article should be good enough to stay online as well Leo0274 (talk) 19:48, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

As one who has been in the study of Royal, Noble and Chivalrous orders, I don't see the harm in the page existing, especially since it has a proper article defending its existence and a history behind it. I currently am in the process of writing an article on Ghanaian Orders of Chivalry and this page has been extremely helpful with details I didn't know about. It is important that the site continues to have this page and any others that can be supported with reference articles and the correct formatting. 166.181.83.42 (talk) 15:49, 27 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I have added another reference to speak for the notability of the Orders. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Leo0274 (talk • contribs) 01:39, 28 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]
