Asociația Cuțu Cuțu

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

With the exception of one comment that occasioned one or two news cycles of coverage, this organization has essentially been ignored by the press in the eleven years it's existed. There's no particular reason to keep the article around. - Biruitorul Talk 14:27, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

According to the Wikipedia guidelines, general notability =/= ongoing coverage. This organization has received attention from various media outlets on an annual basis for the past few years. Indeed, it is not nearly as significant as other transnational NGOs, but it is by far one of the largest animal rights groups in Romania.

Furthermore, it is safe to say that this is probably the only Romanian NGO that receives enough attention from the press in order for anyone to be able to write a Wiki article about it. There are plenty of secondary sources out there to document the notability of this NGO. [some of which I am going to add to the article in a short while to further document the significance of the NGO]

It could be turned into a permanent stub, that seems like a viable option, but deleting it would be an unjustified measure under the current circumstances. Thevaluablediamond (talk) 18:18, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * Thus far, of your recent additions, the only one I see that mentions this group by name is a press release from their president hosted by the shady hotnews.ro. Not exactly the gold standard when it comes to reliable, independent coverage. Other than that, we have just words from you regarding media attention, but nothing concrete.
 * I absolutely believe that, on the model of Street dogs in Moscow and Street dogs in Bangkok, an article on Street dogs in Bucharest is warranted. It's an ongoing major issue for over two decades in a major city, with consistent coverage domestically and internationally. But "Asociația Cuțu Cuțu"? Not so much. - Biruitorul Talk 19:05, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

The article has a "major restructuring" template on. I will add those sources in the bibliography after I'm done writing the history part. No, actually, now that you brought it up, that article concerning street dogs seems like a good idea. The ACC part can remain a subsection of the article, which will highlight the main events that were somehow related to ACC. Maybe someone can do the merging after the article Street dogs in Bucharest is going to be created. Thevaluablediamond (talk) 19:49, 13 October 2013 (UTC)


 * If you create the new article - it doesn't have to be too long at first, since the notability of the topic is obvious - and merge/redirect this one, I'll consider the AfD as withdrawn. - Biruitorul Talk 22:23, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

The article about street dogs has been created. I will work on it, but I suppose it is comprehensive enough for now. It features the most notable events and it has a subsection on all those NGOs. Thevaluablediamond (talk) 20:01, 14 October 2013 (UTC)
