International Delphic Council

Most of the facts cannot be checked. Problems with verifability - most of the links lead to the official site (delphic.org). Иван Москалев (talk) 16:44, 31 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - none of the sources are reliable. Bearian (talk) 21:20, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.
Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:02, 5 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The organisation is based in Berlin and, according to their site, was founded in the 1994, still there are only two German articles about it ([1]), one of them cites Wikipedia ([2]). If my opinion is concerned, this so-called "IDC" seems to be a fake. Иван Москалев (talk) 14:46, 6 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The above discussion is preserved as an archive of the debate. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

Please consider: the "International Delphic Council" stands under the patronage of the UNESCO - you can find relevant information on the UNESCO-Site (www.unesco.org) by searching after it! So please restore that page! Thanks!

The article is nominated for deletion because of several reasons; the most general of it – discrepancy with general notability guideline. The organization itself (not the games it conducts!) did not receive any notable coverage. Basically, most of the sources listed do not give information about the Delphic Council, and focus on games instead. The only source giving “significant coverage” to organization is the official site, but it is not an “independent” one… Moreover, if you look thoroughly through the references list, you will see that 17 of 50 links ) lead to delphic.org (19, if we count materials hosted on other resources, but copied from official site). 7 links lead to Russian press (?) which I can’t properly analyze, but there are two which are written by some Marina Chernyavskaya, who is stated to be the member of Delphic Council, thus these articles don’t count as independent… What’s more, 3 links cite Wikipedia as a source (which can’t be used that way), 3 links lead to youtube.com and peeep.us, 2 links are simply broken. 3 links have nothing to do with Delphic Council and deal with Ancient Greece. So we have at least 29 of 50 links being invalid. We can’t guarantee that “offline” press has significant coverage of the subject – International Delphic Council. To sum up: article has a problem with WP:GNG and WP:Verifability and can be nominated for deletion. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.199.137.20 (talk) 21:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Objection

Everyone knows that the auspices of international organizations (eg UNESCO, EU and ASEAN) are granted for a specific event!

The International Delphic Council is an innovative association revived and activated the Delphic movement. Every good idea needs its time to be acknowledged by everyone. To proof some facts it should be illustrate and display of the creation, development and activities of the IDC, it should be possible to link activities related directly to the IDC targets. In order to prove certain things it must be permitted to refer to the IDC Website – even if not all documents and multimedia products in every detail have been published. Just because certain press articles can not be read in the Web does not mean that they have not been published at all. If someone is really interested it is up to everyone to request the related media for detailed information.

Therefore the request for deletion on flimsy allegations should be rejected. Therefore no deletion! Delphico (talk) 14:54, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
