The result was no consensus. This discussion, though it does lean towards keeping, has not sufficiently addressed the previous consensus to merge. In other words, it's not established that consensus has changed to favor keeping over merging, thus the discussion will not be closed as such. However, at the same time I'll also note that the previous consensus has not exactly been reaffirmed in this discussion, with a minority of editors favoring merging or deletion. Therefore, the question of whether or not to merge this article remains in the hands of the community. Swarm X 02:27, 12 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
It has been a year since the last AfD for this article, which closed as a merge to Mining industry of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, which as of today, has not happend. The article is still original research with no indication that this is a notable topic. While the article does have lots of sources, they are not about the concept of Canadian companies mining in the DRC, but about Canadian companies that happen to operate in the DRC. I have gone through some of the sections of the article to demonstrate this (shown below).
I still don't see this as a notable topic, more appropriate would be a section on the Mining in the DRC article that shows all international companies that operate in the DRC (such as the 6 Australian 3 South African that also operate). kelapstick(bainuu) 23:30, 29 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
