Aims[edit]

Outline to Usable[edit]

I would like to propose the aim of getting all articles to usable status. Yes this is a lot of work but it is doable. In the table above low hanging fruit are in the "needs only" row, these are cities that either just need a listing in one section or need an improved Get in section. Once a good number of these have been enhance the sub-regions can them be improved and promoted to usable. Would be good to get a "Sleep" listing and content in the "Get in" of every article.

Usable to Guide[edit]

Key destinations that should be guides but still needs some more content and work done on them.

Other candidates that could with just a little effort to reach guide status:

Current articles under discussion and work in progress[edit]

Articles that are currently being worked on or under discussion such as merge or delete. Or articles you wish to bring to other attention.

Discussions should take place on the talk page of the article, this is just to highlight activity.

Articles needed[edit]

Towns that are important enough to have an article before the region can be considered for usable status:

Cities with a population of over 100,000[edit]

From Wikivoyage:World cities

Article ideas and requests[edit]

Nigerian music — should include description of different genres of Nigerian music, important concert halls, nightclubs, and music festivals (w:Felabration), and the w:New Africa Shrine
Nigerian history — should include important museums, historical sites, monuments, royal palaces
