[edit] Reach the World

Reach the World (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs)

Article on a recently-established charity, which doesn't appear to be sufficiently notable. The article has been edited primarily by the charity's founder, Marcgustafson, who also created an article about himself (which is also on AFD) and the charity's cofounder - this is a conflict of interest. Google is inconclusive.

  • Reach the World is not a recently established charity. It is almost ten years old. Reach the World is sponsored by National Geographic and Columbia Univeristy and works with over 5,000 students per day in New York and Chicago. Reach the World was featured on CNN, the New York Times, the Miami Herald and the Christian Science Monitor. The article is notable and should remain. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 68.174.184.72 (talk) 01:50, 6 January 2007 (UTC).
  • Delete no evidence of notability offered for Reach the World in a self contradictory article. If some of the sources mentioned in this debate are offered I may my change opinion. Delete Heather Halstead regardless as non notable. Nuttah68 14:10, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete per nom. Fails WP:ORG. Heather Halstead fails to assert notability, and so tagged for speedy. Ohconfucius 04:28, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as above --BozMo talk 12:13, 8 January 2007 (UTC)
