Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Canadian mining in the Democratic Republic of the Congo
The author may have a point of view, but the article largely avoids that issue and AfD isn't the place to deal with NPOV issues anyway. Certainly, the subject of this article is a detailed topic, but I don't see a huge distinction between this and a hypothetical article on, say, Democratic Republic of the Congo-Botswana relations. It's somewhat esoteric yes, but it doesn't seem unencyclopedic. Furthermore,  doesn't prohibit research; we do research all the time when writing articles. What it prohibits is research not backed by reliable sources and synthesizing sources to make a point. I don't see either happening here. The article doesn't set out to prove a point; it sets out to describe Canadian mining interests in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. To the extent that it does prove some kind of point, that's an NPOV issue that can be addressed through editing
