Acid Survivors Trust International

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

What sources there are discuss acid attacks, but there is very little discussion of the actual subject of the article. Does not pass GNG, and much of the content is really promotional. Drmies (talk) 19:53, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment. Is there anything here worth merging with Acid throwing? 331dot (talk) 21:22, 29 March 2018 (UTC)
 * That is entirely possible, but it seems to me that copying and pasting, with an appropriate edit summary, would do the trick. Drmies (talk) 01:45, 30 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete: does not meet WP:NORG and significant RS coverage not found. Re: "Links to recent media and press coverage: [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13]" -- Wikipedia is not a clipping servince. In any case, these are passing mentions and / or WP:SPIP. K.e.coffman (talk) 06:24, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak keep or possibly merge into Acid throwing. It could certainly use a rewrite.  But even if the rewrite were only 3 paragraphs - strictly about the charity - I think it would be useful to readers. Smallbones( smalltalk ) 02:23, 6 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Comment I'm not sure merging it into acid throwing is a wise idea - I suspect there could be multiple related charities, and unless this one is far larger in scope, justifying *it* as the one that gets a good section in acid throwing seems incorrect. That said, I do think that the topic is potentially notable enough to deserve remaining - if rewritten. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:01, 6 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep - I am against'merge for my reasons above. Nosebagbear (talk) 08:08, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

Weak Keep - per Icewhiz. Per news coverage.BabbaQ (talk) 16:13, 12 April 2018 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Merge into Acid throwing seems appropriate - not sufficiently notable for a standalone article. &mdash; soupvector (talk) 12:59, 7 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: I oppose a merge; merging an org into an article about a concept would be WP:UNDUE and borders on promotionalism. The target article would not be improved with a merge. K.e.coffman (talk) 03:53, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Weak Keep, oppose merge - from the amount of news coverage (hundreds of news items, in which their research data is often cited) and some book coverage - it seems they are probably notable (it also, incidentally, makes finding in-depth sources on them difficult). In any case - this should not be merged to Acid throwing - if it is not notable standalone, it should not be promoted there.Icewhiz (talk) 06:09, 12 April 2018 (UTC)

 * Keep (oppose merge as per Icewhiz.)  Notability of this organization is clear, as is its impact: "UN Trust Fund to end Violence Against Women"  "The law that made this conviction possible was passed following extensive advocacy by the Acid Survivors Trust International, and their partner..."; and here: Campaigns Against Acid Violence Spur Change, . Vitriolage: A Case of a 19-Year-Old Girl, "(programs)  have subsequently been established in Uganda, Cambodia and Pakistan sustained by ASTI(Acid Survivors Trust International)" ;  here: A desire to disfigure: acid attack in IndiaM Patel - International journal of criminology and sociological  December 2014, 1-11 3 "Acid Survivors Trust International (ASTI) is the only organization whose sole purpose is to work towards the end of acid violence across the world.....  But someone might have to wade through a lot of searches to do a really proper job on the organization's structure.E.M.Gregory (talk) 09:46, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep. This organization has received coverage from multiple reliable sources. The article itself could use some love, but it shouldn't be deleted. Andrew327 16:56, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
