Komera Rwanda

[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Non-notable organization lacking Ghits and GNews of substance. Appears to fail WP:ORG. reddogsix (talk) 00:23, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I'm seeing some stuff out there in google.it but it's mostly blogs and listings. Doesn't seem to be notable enough at this point, perhaps too soon. I would have expected a lot more coverage by Italian media. §FreeRangeFrog^croak 05:43, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Dear FreeRangeFrogcroak,
  thank you in advance for the attention paid to my page. I'm vice-president of Komera Rwanda. I wrote this little page to know our volunteering in Africa which, though very small, is important because it helps the poors in a remote village of Africa frequently close to other bigger organizations such us United States Agency for International Development (USAID).
  Our association is very well known in Italy at the local level. You can get more details about Komera Rwanda looking at the page we have on Italian Wikipedia. Komera Rwanda in a non-profit association and volunteers are not paid, and they pay themsenves travel costs.
  Thanking you again I'm waiting for your kind reply.

  - None of which has to do with deletion policy, notability, and whether this is a properly documented part of human knowledge that gets to be in an encyclopaedia. Sources! Sources! Sources! Uncle G (talk) 12:24, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Fails WP:RS and therefore notability. Huye the creator of the article - is Vice President of the association = WP:COI. -- MST☆R ^{(Happy New Year!)} 12:27, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
- Anyone who makes a valid argument, in accordance with deletion policy and based upon the provenances and depths of sources, is welcome to participate in AFD. We don't exclude people for being close to the subject. We generally exclude them for acting like children, and mucking about with sockpuppets and the like, which is not so far the case here at all. Uncle G (talk) 12:51, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - That may be so, but has the editor provided a reasonable rationale to keep the article they created on their organisation? -- MST ☆R ^{(Happy New Year!)} 13:00, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
  - Further, I have re worded, as I can see how it may have been taken out of line. Thanks, -- MST ☆R ^{(Happy New Year!)} 13:06, 6 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks you all for attention paid to my page on Komera Rwanda. I only tried to explain what's the aim of Association and what Komera Rwanda does in Africa. Komera Rwanda is a non-profit association and there is no economic interest in publicizing it. The page describe objectively the facts and activities of Komera Rwanda (without further comments, praise or exaggeration)and all of these are documented by references. I should like that Komera Rwanda has a page on English Wikipedia to allow at non-speakers of Italian language to know the existence of the association. The only advertising that I would get is to raise awareness of our work, alongside that of many other voluntary humanitarian non-profit associations, in order to improve the conditions of the poorest people in the world. I remit to you the choice whether to delete or keep the page. I'll respect your decision. I thank you all, however, for the attention you paid to my page. Best regards. --Huye (talk) 14:04, 11 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. There are several items of coverage around, but nothing really substantial, e.g. La Repubblica, Vivere Genova, Prima Da Noi, Citta Di Genova. --Michig (talk) 09:00, 13 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Delete - fails WP:GNG and WP:CORPDEPTH and also, in my opinion, WP:RS. Organization is still too small and local to be notable, and no realistic indication that it will become notable in time. The WP:COI issue does not help, although I accept the good faith of the author. David_FLXD (Talk) 05:11, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete - Probably good faith edit, but still WP:COI and not notable. Creator's defense is just WP:NOBLECAUSE, which doesn't make it worthy of inclusion. --Drm310 (talk) 11:20, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Delete as non-notable. —Ed!^(talk) 16:26, 14 January 2013 (UTC)[reply]
