Inclusion criteria

[edit]

Until we can come up with some other criteria for inclusion in this list, the criteria should be only think tanks that already have their own Wikipedia articles. --Ronz (talk) 17:14, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

That is such a good point - we should be limiting entries to those which satisfy the Wikipedia:Write the Article First guideline. I am sorely tempted to wp:Be Bold (unless some other editor beats me to it!), and delete all the wp:redlinks here - do others agree? If others object, please say so here.

And, after all, people can start the actual articles for think tanks that they really think are notable, once they haver found wp:reliable sources for the organisation concerned.
E.g., to find sources for YourThinkTank, one can use the template {{Find sources|YourThinkTank}} ,
which gives Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs· FENS · JSTOR · TWL.
Then, if sufficiently good sources are found, one can write the article, then - and only then! - one can add the organisation to this List.
That way, we'll just have reliable blue links, not unproven red links. Trafford09 (talk) 22:18, 19 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
