Proposed deletion of International Resources for the Improvement of Sight


The article International Resources for the Improvement of Sight has been proposed for deletion&#32; because of the following concern:
 * Apparently non-notable charity. None of the independent references in the article actually mention the charity. Nothing in google except for a few charities databases, which suggest that it's Cambodian focused, rather than the international focus of the article.

While all contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

 * I have deleted the notice. IRIS is an organization which operates in south and south/east Asia, not only Cambodia. It's an incredibly important organization providing a vital support to some of the less fortunate living in the region. As the organization appears to suffer from a limited web presence, it is crucial that the organization continues to be listed in Wikipedia. Instead of deleting the article, I suggest that the one who added the  notice in the first place, instead spends some time to develop the article. Many thanks for your understanding.

Regarding Draft:A General Theory of Violence
Dear Griberg, there is no difference between where you were asked to address original research concerns and, the revision where you moved it to mainspace yourself. You haven't addressed the issues of the AfC reviewer, namely that this is original research and needs to be cited by sources which verify the claims you make. If you believe this is the right title, then you need to cite multiple reliable, independent sources which specifically say "A General Theory of Violence". I also strongly recommend to go through the WP:AfC process again when you think the draft is ready to be reviewed again, as it will reduce the chance of being moved back to a draft again if approved.

 * Dear Darcyisvery cute, thank you for the response. In the revised version there is actually a new reference in the very first sentence pointing to teaching material published by the University of Lucerne, which cites the theory, specifically referring to it as “a general theory of violence.” Can you please help me understand why this is not considered to be a reliable source? It’s not original research. Moreover, if you look through the other references I have included in the article, when describing the origins of the theory and its application, you will see that these references are either pointing to definitions provided by the World Health Organization, or to academic research publications in which the theory of violence has been applied as a data gathering tool. All these references appear to be compatible with Wikipedia’s requirements for reliable, independent sources. I would greatly appreciate if you could dive into this subject with me and help to publish the article (I think it's a very important topic). What do you think of including the most recent reference to the theory (as far as I’m aware!) - a recent report published by the Cyber Peace Institute (see page 11 and onwards)? Thank you very much.

 * Dear Griberg, the Lucerne link is to a website with a couple of paragraphs and a ten minute video. There is no evidence of peer review, and the source itself states the theory is not theirs, The Theory of Violence presented by Dr. Robin Coupland, Dr. Daniel Dobos, and Prof. Dr. Nathan Taback (University of Toronto) relates to any form of violence in any context. The Coupland citation you used in the draft is an offline source that I don't have access to, so it is impossible for me to verify this source. The Lucerne source then states It is, therefore, a general theory of violence. -- implying that the original theory was not proposed under this name. At best, this is a primary source, as the Lucerne source is the only one that refers to it under this description. Due to lacking peer review or journal publication, I do not see the Lucerne video as a reliable source. In other words that means you would need to find two additional sources, published in peer reviwed journals, with independent authors and significant coverage of Lucerne's take on the theory and the specific name.
 * The references pointing to the WHO definition of violence, which is used at the violence article, are generally unrelated to Lucerne and Toronto's work as far as I can tell. I encourage you to consider this - what content is it that you are trying to publish that would not better belong at the existing violence Wikipedia article instead?
 * The Cyberpeace source you sent here is independent and reliable, but it is arguably not significant coverage as it only devotes two paragraphs to describing the theory. Because of this, it cannot be used to establish WP:GNG for Lucerne's theory/claim.
 * Lastly, I noticed the Lucerne video featured the image File:A General Theory of Violence.png, and that image uploaded to Wikimedia commons says that you created that image. Either you also created the image in the Lucerne video too, which would mean you have a conflict of interest, or you have incorrectly attributed copyright information for the image. As far as I can tell it was not licensed under a Wikimedia Commons compatible license in the video description (see Licensing). I also notice that the video was produced by, among others, Isaac Griberg, and I cannot help but notice your username. Are you being paid to write this article? Please also see WP:DISCLOSE.
