Possibly eligible for G3, but I'm bringing it here just in case... There appears to be no record of the community described here; all sources suggest the area in question is populated by the Bagisu, Sabiny and Ogiek tribes, not "Elgonians". This strikes me as an attempt to start a movement, which is not the purpose of Wikipedia. Yunshui 雲‍水 09:30, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I can't find any relevant Google hits about the Elgonian peoples: there are Google hits for the word, but it generally seems to be a user name or refer to people called Ian. The article is highly POV, which isn't necessarily grounds for deletion if the topic is notable, but it seems like the page has been created for propaganda reasons (albeit propaganda for peace and harmonious international relations). Hopefully, deletion will not harm relations between Kenya and Uganda. --Colapeninsula (talk) 10:23, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

This content is unencyclopaedic on its face. It's not even an attempt at an encyclopaedia article. It's an exhoration addressing the reader in the first person. There's no documented encyclopaedic subject by this name, although clearly the content's author would like there to be one. "Elgonian" is an adjective in actual use, and where my research turns up that adjective being used in the world at large indicates that a simple redirect to Mount Elgon per Wikipedia:Naming conventions (adjectives) serves the reader best.

Strong Delete — Would speedy as a Hoax, but doesn't exaclty meet criteria as to an intent to vandalize. Article is not encyclopedic, and word is not defined in any major dictionary. A web search returns no specific results, other than the article itself. C_(u)w_(t)C_(c) 12:28, 18 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
