Deletion of African Origins Project

Comment: This article is not , in that it is describing an academic research project.  In that it is an advertisemnt for volunteers, it conceivably fails , but it does not blatantly do so.  Nevertheless, the article needs to be pruned substantially so that it deals only with the project.  The article contains significant material on the measures taken to enforce the Abolition of the Slave Trade, which would be much better in an free-standing article on that subject, rather than (as at present) a redirect to History of slavery, a bloated article dealing with all aspects of slavery, ancient and modern.  The closest we have is Atlantic slave trade#End of the Atlantic slave trade, but that only carries the subject up to the abolition campaign.  Abolitionism, which is the main article for that section goes on from the abolition of the trade to the campaigns for emancipation, their success, (almost bizarrely) the enslavement of Roma in what is now Roumania, and a list of when slavery was abolished in various countries.  Those last two sections would be much better in the "History of Slavery".  I, personally, would like to see either (1) Abolitionism renamed asAbolition of the Atlantic slave trade or (2) material from "abolitionism" moved that title, and combined with material from the article under discussion here.  I am not a speciualist on this subject and thus reluctant to undertake this myself.  Slavery is odious, and the slave trade even more so.  However, the abolition of the Atlantic slave trade and the emancipation of slaves the slaves resulting from it are different subjects and each deserves full treatment on its own.  This is in turn differs from Old World slavery, which can probably adequately be dealt with in the articleson slavery generally
