the exact same article had been written with "Dutch" or "Greek" instead of "Yoruba" (both languages with fewer native speakers than Yoruba) it wouldn't have attracted such vitriolic criticism and calls for speedy deletion. Once again, these calls were clearly based on a racist view of "common sense", and you, as a self-professed liberal, need to consider carefully why you called for speedy deletion.
712:
But those comments were obviously untrue for the article, which was written in perfectly grammatical
English but just with some quotation marks missing, so they were obviously based on the impossibility of any article about an African name being worthy of consideration for inclusion. I'm sure that if

That is a subjective criterion that is not one of our criteria for speedy deletion. Please let's concentrate on whether this qualifies for plain old non-speedy deletion, rather than get into a feeding frenzy of editors calling for speedy deletion as some sort of punishment for an editor, probably not

as notability has not been shown and my efforts to find such notability have been unsuccessful, but certainly not "speedy delete" on the basis of the racist "common sense" that says that
African names "make no sense" or are "gibberish" or are "worthless" or are otherwise incapable of being notable.

I suppose the common sense that you are talking about is the common sense that we can have loads of article about
European names but that it is inconceivable that we should have an article about an African name. It's pretty obvious what type of thought process that common sense is based on, but I

The only comprehensibility improvement that I made was to add two pairs of quotation marks - no change of wording was needed. Missing quotation marks don't turn grammatical sentences into gibberish, so please don't be so rude about other people's contributions.

Or perhaps it's just a poorly-written, poorly-punctuated, one-line article which you had to go and fix in order to make more comprehensible. It could be that, too. In any case, it could be speedied entirely out of

The fact that it was created by a new user does not save the article from being worthless. There's virtually no chance the article will be kept and it's thus better off speedily deleted as a time-saving measure.

My statement was based on the "clear evidence" of the fact that I didn't know just what the article was trying to tell me. You could have politely informed me, but you decided to be snippy instead.

This may well not be a suitable topic for a
Knowledge article, but anyone who says that this "makes no sense" or is "a bunch of gibberish" needs to improve their English comprehension skills.
