Association of Proposal Management Professionals

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Borderline G11 article that fails WP:N on two fronts: it does not have the sourcing under WP:CORPDEPTH to meet the general notability guideline and it is excluded from inclusion in the encyclopedia by WP:NOTSPAM. All of the available sourcing is press releases, blogs, trade magazines with low publication standards, or other sourcing not independent of the company. The article is written in a promotional tone with the clear intent of raising the profile of the organization. I almost tagged it with G11, but decided that AfD might be a better route.

 * Comment:

The organisation is a non profit organization so there is no real promotion here, although i would be happy to accept changes to the language. I understand there is not a lot of independent media coverage but that is because it operates in a niche industry. I believe the organisation is notable for its membership size and it has also already been approved on the german version of wikipedia: https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Association_of_Proposal_Management_Professionals Alex King-Zhang (talk) 20:28, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete. My own searching failed to find any WP:RS.  Fails WP:CORPDEPTH.  -- RoySmith (talk) 14:43, 12 August 2017 (UTC)
