Central Provident Fund (South Africa)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log )

No independent coverage and no evidence of notability of this specific fund. The article was a somewhat pointy creation in an effort to bolster the argument of those opposed to moving Central Provident Fund (Singapore) back to Central Provident Fund; see Talk:Central Provident Fund. The article was previously redirected to Sanlam which was reverted. Unless there is more to be said about this specific fund, I think redirecting it to the managing company is the correct action. older ≠ wiser 16:53, 30 January 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete. Notability not established by the article, I couldn't find any significant independent coverage anywhere. - htonl (talk) 17:50, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Redirect to Sanlam, as I tried to do in response to a speedy deletion tag, unless and until significant coverage is found in independent reliable sources. Please see the article talk page for the arguments given against redirection, which I do not consider valid. Phil Bridger (talk) 20:29, 30 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom, WP:POINT, WP:NOTE, and WP:ADVERT. The article was created to make a point during a move discussion and such an article, without independent coverage, is at best an unencyclopedic entry and at worst an advert.  —  AjaxSmack   03:47, 31 January 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge and redirect – I agree it's not independently notable (I created it to be pointy, as pointed out above). Dicklyon (talk) 05:37, 3 February 2012 (UTC)
 * How is it notable at all? No evidence has been supplied by any discussant for any encyclopedic notability whatsoever.  As far as I can tell, Wikipedia does not have redirects for any other individual private funds simply because they exist.  —  AjaxSmack   21:58, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Did someone say it's notable? No.  So it shouldn't have its own article; that's what notability says.  Dicklyon (talk) 22:14, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
 * By qualifying "notable" above, you did. —  AjaxSmack   22:37, 5 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Strong delete as per WP:ADVERT, WP:PROMOTION. -- P 1 9 9 • TALK 15:28, 7 February 2012 (UTC)
