World Diaspora Organization

[edit]

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

Unreferenced and possible hoax or at best a gross exaggeration of its importance. Claims to be a forum for Diaspora umbrella organizations but I can find no primary or secondary sources supporting its existence let alone notability.

Related article Zoran Jovičić seems to be a vanity page and is claiming notability based on being founder–president of this. Serbian World Congress may also be a hoax. Both nominated also. –Moondyne 15:15, 23 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

delete all three when I searched for any kind of references, there was nothing reliable at all, just clones of Wikipedia. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 11:13, 24 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No sources at all found in English; two references at Google News in a cyrillic language (Serbian?); but nothing to indicate that the organization has any kind of worldwide clout or recognition. --MelanieN (talk) 02:30, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete (native speaker here). According to a newspaper, their establishing convention was held in the building of the Parliament of Serbia. After that, all the news concerning them are they press clippings, apparently all created from their president Zoran Jovičić. So, it's a hoax that seems to be much wider than Wikipedia. In this forum Jovičić himself (apparently) complains that the Ministry of Diaspora wants to kick the Congress out of their premises. All the news seem like inflated bullshit, pardon my french. I would bet that the Wikipedia articles were created by Jovičić... ah, yes, it's User:Zokan. Time to clean up our yard. No such user (talk) 14:04, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment Thanks for your interesting and very helpful information, No Such User. Based on your input, I agree that the articles Zoran Jovicic and Serbian World Congress should also be deleted. --MelanieN (talk) 14:19, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
