Youth in Africa
- ... that youth in Africa constituted 19% of the global youth population in 2015?
- ALT1:... that HIV/AIDS remains a major cause of morbidity and mortality amongst African youths?
Moved to mainspace by Bevtolley (talk). Nominated by Anne drew Andrew and Drew (talk) at 22:50, 9 January 2018 (UTC).
Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
ALT2:... that the youth in Africa are the continent's largest demographic group, with 60% of the population under age twenty-five?(Source: https://qz.com/1162490/the-youngest-continent-keeps-on-being-run-by-the-oldest-leaders/)
- Mental health source added. The issue with this alt is that the UN's definition of youth is 15 to 24 years old. The 60% number is from 0-24 years old. AdA&D 21:26, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- Source looks good, thanks! Good point about the UN definition of "youth"; how about this? Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 21:52, 26 January 2018 (UTC)
- ALT3:... that Africa's large population of youths and children makes it the youngest continent, with 60% of residents younger than twenty-five? (Source: https://qz.com/1162490/the-youngest-continent-keeps-on-being-run-by-the-oldest-leaders/)
- Looks great! I wonder if we could replace Template:Tq with Template:Tq though. I just think it sounds a bit nicer. AdA&D 01:19, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
- Alright, then, this nomination is approved! I'll leave it up to the promoter to choose among hooks ALT0, ALT1 and ALT3, all of which are approved; I prefer ALT3. Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 02:51, 27 January 2018 (UTC)

I pulled this from prep because the reference section is full of bare urls. They will need to be properly formatted before this nomination can proceed. Gatoclass (talk) 23:21, 27 January 2018 (UTC)
Yes, I checked this article which had been slipped into a set earlier and noted that, but please see the precedent where this description of "bare urls" was heavily debated before Template:U decided that they were just fine and promoted. I see no difference between that article's implementation of references and this one's. And since she was the one to promote this one (and I'm sure she checked the references), one assumes she's applying the same logic. The Rambling Man (talk) 10:46, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
- Template:U, Template:U I've filled in all of the bare URLs using
{{Cite web}}. AdA&D is watching @ 16:37, 28 January 2018 (UTC)- Good work. Ref 35 has an error, otherwise looks okay. The Rambling Man (talk) 16:42, 28 January 2018 (UTC)
Template:OdTemplate:U or Template:U or Template:U, any way this can be approved again please? AdA&D ★ 15:07, 29 January 2018 (UTC)
- Template:U, it's approved, as far as I'm concerned. Bryanrutherford0 (talk) 03:41, 31 January 2018 (UTC)
