Removing all unnecessary content[edit]

There is an advert banner on this page since last year, so I'll take the matter in my own hands and remove everything that is not Wikipedia-compliant:

1. Heralded for her personal commitment to promoting charitable causes,[1] Ms. Ondimba decided to dedicate her philanthropic mission[2][3] to the benefit of all Gabonese residents and, more broadly, to all Africans[4] when she created in January 2011 the Sylvia Bongo Ondimba Foundation entitled "For the family" (or "Pour la Famille" in French).[5][6]

  6. ^ Sylvia Bongo a pris le leadership du social en 2010, paru sur le site www.camer.be, le mardi 4 janvier 2011

All the refs are french: the first reference mentions one cause, not many; "SBO decided to dedicate her philantropic mission to all africans" -> exageration, or it needs additional references; In POV-statement words with (en)-only refs, this paragraph becomes: She created the Sylvia Bongo Ondimba Foundation entitled For the family in January 2011 to improve the plight of vulnerable and disadvantaged people around the world.[1] and I place it back in the intro.

  1. ^ Press Release - First Lady of Gabon, 13the of June 2011

2. -> Does not fit Wikipedia neutral tone: Since her husband's rise to the highest office in the land, Sylvia Bongo Ondimba has been prominent through her philanthropic work on behalf of the least privileged, concentrating her political, social and cultural efforts on charities and charitable causes.[1]

  1. ^ First Lady of Gabon Appointed GPF Ambassador, published by Global Partnerships Forum, June 13, 2011

-> Political campaign, factual, requires a source other then presidentalibongo.com: A few days later, her husband made a visit to one such area, bringing electrical appliances and farm machinery, in response to some of the needs expressed by the Gabonese people.[1]

  1. ^ Caravane "Gabon profond" : le couple présidentiel auprès du peuple gabonais, article issu du site officiel du président Ali Bongo Ondimba, 19 juillet 2010

-> Blabla about the goal of the foundation, but no concrete material there: The "Sylvia Bongo Ondimba" Foundation has come to the fore as a crowning achievement of this humanitarian action campaign and reflects the First Lady's goal of promoting the notion at the core of Gabonese society of a nation that relies upon family values,[1] seeking to inspire the participation of women[2] and youth in Gabon's development.[disambiguation needed]

-> Non-neutral blabla: Very sensitive to the plight of the disabled,[1] Sylvia acting in the capacity of the nation's First Lady concluded an agreement with a company specialized in the production of rolling stock.[2]

  2. ^ Le bilan social de Sylvia Bongo Ondimba pour 2010, www.infosgabon.com, 7 janvier 2011

-> No actions, decisions, steps, just empty titles: In addition to her busy calendar of social events to benefit the Gabonese population, Sylvia Bongo Ondimba is also fully committed to the cause of promoting Gabon[1] on the international stage,[2][3] as highlighted by her attendance at the United Nations in February 2011.[4] This audience provided her with the opportunity to present her foundation's work, as well as convey Gabon's ambitions in the area of combating inequalities and encouraging sustainable development.[5] The international acclaim received by Sylvia Bongo Ondimba was once again on display at the United Nations during the ceremony organized by the Global Partnerships Forum (GPF),[6] when Gabon's First Lady was named Goodwill Ambassador and her foundation was granted membership status in this institution.

Also this article was saturated with french, not-translated refs, which I removed one-by-one when unnecessary.

The article remains overly reverential. I suspect there is a lot of WP:COI editing here. It's doubtful if this person is even WP:NOTABLE. --Ef80 (talk) 17:36, 1 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
