Hello, my name is Uma Sori and I am the direct descendent from the family of Prince Abdulrahman Ibrahim Ibn Sori. My continual attempts to add what is factual in my country of birth Morovia Liberia of the lineage and biological relationships of my cousins from the United States, Dr. Artemus Gaye and Princess Karen Chatman who is born in Natchez Mississippi, and underwent genetic testing proving her lineage. Dr. Gaye inherited his Royal title as with any other family of Royal lineage. Why is it that Gaye and Chatman are being challenged by a group of people? What facts other than a book written by Terry Alford who receive his story directly from the Collins, Fosters, and residence of Natchez who has known the stories for hundreds of years. I solicited your assistance if I am not citing information correctly, as this is not my area of expertise. Prince Sori's story is one of significance to the African American population, one that they are proud of. I need your help in ensuring our family legacy is not destroyed or forgotten. My apologies if I have caused duress but again, this is my family's legacy but the story belongs to the world.

The page should be deleted if it does not allow for the acknowledgment of Prince Sori's descendents. It is not about ownership, it is about not allowing history forgotten.

Respectfully, Uma Sori

Keep. I'm confused by the nominator's rationale. They want the article deleted because they cannot add WP:OR and genealogical info? WP is not a genealogical repository. As for notability, the subject is clearly notable. There's coverage from History.com [https://www.history.com/news/african-prince-slavery-abdulrahman-ibrahim-ibn-sori here]; his portrait is held by the Library of Congress [https://www.loc.gov/pictures/item/2013645555/ here]; a biography by the Documenting the American South project [https://docsouth.unc.edu/highlights/ibrahima.html here]; coverage in the LA Times [https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-2008-feb-04-et-prince4-story.html here]; and was the subject of a 1986 book called Prince Among Slaves by Terry Alford. Obvious keep. --Kbabej (talk) 20:04, 9 November 2021 (UTC)
