This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Organizations and social programs. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Organizations|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Organizations and social programs. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.
Suggested inclusion guidelines for this topic area can be found at WP:ORG.

- Comment - I'm not informed in this area, but I think it would be important to see if anyone from WikiProject Indigenous Peoples of Australia wants to offer suggestions, since this seems like it could be an organization more notable to specialists in the area than the general public.

I believe this non-profit organization fails the WP:ORG guidelines due to a lack of verifiable significant impact. Being a NGO does not, of itself, demonstrate notability.

Fails WP:ORG. This club is not the subject of any reliable sources. There is a single news article that mentions the arrest of a member of a club of the same name in Australia [1], but the Wikipedia article is about a US college-affiliated club with no known connection to Australia, and even if it were about the same club, it is not significant coverage.

Non-notable organization, no non-trivial third party sources, no independent hits on google or gnews. 2 says you, says two 02:56, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep per WP:CLUB#Non-commercial organizations: Organizations are usually notable if they meet both of the following standards:
- 1. The scope of their activities is national or international in scale
- 2. Information about the organization and its activities can be verified by multiple, third-party, independent, reliable sources.
- It is a national organization affiliated with the Case Management Society of America, and societies in the U. K. and Australia. Typically professional organizations like this receive very little coverage in news media.
- TFD (talk) 03:39, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I couldn't find any independent, non-trivial sources though. Under WP:ORG, the requirement for non-trivial, secondary sources still stands for non-profits and NGO's, and it is only satisfied when sources are verified to exist and are referenced in the article. I definitely agree that the group's scope would qualify under WP:ORG, but notability can't be based on speculation regarding whether sources exist. 2 says you, says two 12:15, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- The best sources for information on professional organizations are textbooks on the profession. Since this organization is recent (2006) we would not expect to see them in Google books. Also professional organizations rarely make the news. Let's see if the author of the article can research this. I notice that there is also an article about a similar U. S. organization which is also poorly sourced. TFD (talk) 11:26, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Contested prod. This group fails WP:CHAIN, it's local activities are non-notable in encyclopedical terms and do not warrant a separate article. De728631 (talk) 20:25, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete also possible merge if there is some merit in that. Pretty much as nom., local activities don't need a separate article. DRosin (talk) 20:55, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete Non-notable local branch of extremist fringe group. Quoting one of the referenced articles (I dont really think that student newspapers count as reliable sources) "A grand total of six flag-waving EDL members"; SIX? There are substantially bigger family outings every single day of the week. There is nothing of value to merge to English Defence League. Pit-yacker (talk) 22:29, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Both student papers are reliable sources as defined by Wikipedia's guidelines. The group is notable as it has been commented about by these third party sources, the number of persons on the protest is totally irrelevant in this context apart from being a matter to comment on in the article. WP:CHAIN does not apply, this is not a franchise but an example of an local extreme political group, additionally it is notable in it's own right. —Preceding unsigned comment added by People4people (talk • contribs) 22:36, 18 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete - The English Defense League itself might be notable (although I think it's a joke more than a real protest movement; their website says they "have a drink and then shout about the terrorists") but the Cambridge branch is very unlikely to be.Minnowtaur (talk) 05:13, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep These are just personal opinions, the notability guidelines only require the subject matter to be covered by a reliable third party source. Both the student papers meet the criteria of reliable sources under the guidelines.--People4people (talk) 11:04, 19 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

hi anthony. if the page really doesn't belong on wikipedia, that is ok with me, i have no affiliation with the ILDSA. the ILDSA is important to the open water swimming community and the marathon swimming community because it provides observers to ride along on the swimmer's escort boat to certify that swimmer has meet all the regulations during the crossing. The ILDSA is also important because it keeps records of the results. Swimming the irish channel is a monumental achievement in open water swimming. It has been swum by notable people, including Alison Streeter as mentioned in her Honoree page the website of International Swimming Hall of Fame. http://www.ishof.org/honorees/2006/Alison%20Streeter.htm The Irish Channel is currently known as the North Channel (Great Britain and Ireland) Candotoo (talk) 01:09, 17 June 2010 (UTC)Candotoo (talk) 01:22, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete A tenuous association with notable athlete(s) does not confer notability. Csrwizard (talk) 06:41, 17 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
to be clearer, i do not propose an association between notable athletes and the ILDSA. Instead I meant to propose that the ILSDA is important in the open water swimming community because it serves in an officiating capacity for one of the the most difficult channel swims in the world, the North Channel (formerly Irish Channel) swim crossings of the North Channel (Irish Channel). But is the North Channel really considered a major challenge in the open water community??? If not, then the ILDSA may not merit a wiki page. But in fact the North Channel is a major challenge, comparable to - if not more difficult than -- swimming the English Channel. To establish this, i pointed out that the International Swimming Hall of Fame has included North Channel Crossings in their biographical sketch of their Honoree Alison Streeter.

No secondary sources discussing this organization, none found via Google. All I found were passing mentions. Apparently non-notable. Was prodded, prod removed by author without significant improvement. Huon (talk) 23:34, 16 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Weak delete There are certainly reliable sources mentioning this organization. But if you look at the sources, they are actually about the people involved, who are notable in their own right. For example, in the cited congressional testimony by Philip Heymann, his credentials were given as a professor, not as a member of this organization. Testimony and interviews with Mathea Falco mention in passing that she is president of this group, and then go on to what she has to say.[5] An op-ed in the Washington Post by Falco and Heymann is about policy and does not mention the organization Drug Strategies.[6] Aside from a mention by Donna Shalala, it does not look as if the group itself is notable. The notability requirement is significant coverage ABOUT the organization - which I couldn't find. I could change my mind if shown more relevant sources. --MelanieN (talk) 14:57, 22 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- I don't usually comment on this kind of thing but having read through the article and clicked on the sources this organization is clearly more notable than 90% of stuff on wikipedia. Living in the D.C. metro I have some good friends who work for Congressional committees and I can tell you they vet testimony very closely. Furthermore when you read about who is asking them to undertake their studies it reads like a list of the most important American philanthropic funds; maybe I'm taking this personally as a member of a non-profit, but just because an organization doesn't profit financially from their work doesn't mean that they don't serve an notable, important purposes.--TyraStnx (talk) 15:37, 22 June 2010 (UTC) — TyraStnx (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

- Comment - I don't doubt that Drug Strategies does good work and knows important people - but by the relevant guidelines, that's not enough. Rather surprisingly, I couldn't find anybody writing about Drug Strategies itself. I also don't doubt there's less notable stuff on Wikipedia, but that's no excuse, either.

- Delete - As others have said, there is coverage that mentions this institute while talking about some of its people, but I can't find any sources that are about the institute itself. Thus I think it fails WP:CORP. It's a close call for me, and if someone could find even one significant reliable source about this institute, I might change my mind. I admit it's a bit difficult Googling a title like that. P. D. Cook Talk to me! 19:11, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete - no Ghits, no coverage anywhere, non-notable. Minor4th (talk) 04:25, 21 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Redirect/Merge to Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies, per WP:CLUB: "Individual chapters, divisions, departments, and other sub-units of notable organizations are only rarely notable enough to warrant a separate article. Information on chapters and affiliates should normally be merged into the article about the parent organization." (BTW somebody should also nominate for deletion/redirect/merge the article ABCT Couples Special Interest Group, for the same reason.) --MelanieN (talk) 05:00, 28 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- Merge and Redirect to SIGCHI. Little notability as an independent branch, but the body itself is notable and this information should be retained. Lankiveil (speak to me) 03:38, 27 June 2010 (UTC).[reply]
