PROD was reverted by User:Randykitty on the basis that this foundation has won "an international prize" and is "well known". I am nominating for deletion because I believe it does not pass the bar of WP:NORG, due to lack of significant coverage by independent and reliable sources. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Comment: please cite more carefully, I didn't say "many prizes" (plural) but "an important international prize" (singular). The prize is quite prestigious but there's only one and usually only 1 recipient per year (2021 being an exception). --Randykitty (talk) 00:48, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Fixed. बिनोद थारू (talk) 01:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Reading correctly apparently is hard, I didn't say that the foundation had won a prize either... And in AfD debates, you don't chanage comments that have already been addressed by others, because that makes the discussion rather weird. Instead, you strike the incorrect parts and then replace them. --Randykitty (talk) 08:37, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

  I just changed it, I did not strike it out, then replace it. बिनोद थारू (talk) 02:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep. Foundation that administers a prestigious international award (the list of recipients is a virtually who's who in cognitive sciences), supports research by postdoctoral stipends and research grants, and organizes regular symposia that most of the time result in books published by major publishers and receiving positive reviews (perhaps a list should be added to the article). All this can be found using Google, but I have currently no time to add all that to the article. I have expanded it a bit and added some sources (some to the prestigious national french newspaper Le Monde) that are not surprisingly mostly in French. Unfortunately most are paywalled, but the tidbits provided for free suffice to se that these are in-depth and establish notability. WP:HEY. --Randykitty (talk) 14:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

• Comment. It would be good to present an example of significant coverage in the form of a excerpt. बिनोद थारू (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep - The above discussion is making me dizzy. I finally found the prod that said, "Does not meet the bar for WP:NCHARITY. Expect unopposed good-faith delete votes at AFD. (proposed by बिनोद थारू)" What I get from reading the foundation's home page is a lot more clear. "Mr. H. Fyssen created the Foundation state approved by March 21st, 1979" Financially supported 1320 scientists, published 45 books, awarded 43 prizes, etc. etc. etc. This foundation exists to support scientists. And more power to them. I get it. English language sources look OK to me. Wikipedia would do well to keep this article. — Maile (talk) 02:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Keep: This non profit passes WP:NORG. Macbeejack ☎ 07:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
