Clì Gàidhlig

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable organisation, fails WP:COMPANY. Note - Redirection pages needing deleted:
 * Cli Gaidhlig
 * Comunn Luchd-Ionnsachaidh.  Pyrrhus  16 ''' 15:22, 24 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It returns about 15,000 hits on a google search which, unless the criteria has changed and/or my memory fails me, is some 10 times more than the bare minimum required to render an article "notable". siarach (talk) 21:30, 24 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - It only returns 1,870 for me. Besides WP:GOOGLEHITS is not an assertion of notability.  Pyrrhus  16 ''' 09:28, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * That is because you are searching using a term which is pretty much never used - as you would be aware if you were familiar with the topic or the related language from which the name of the organisation (and thus its acronym) originates. Search for "Clì", which is what the organisation is generally known as/how it is referred to, and you get back 14,800 hits. As is stated on the Googlehits page you link to, google hits are not necessarily always an indicator of notability in and of themselves - however you should have a fairly decent reason why the subject matter is not suitable for wikipedia inclusion despite showing up comfortably on the google hits front. Indeed i notice that you have yet to provide any reason why this article should be deleted - neither when sticking up the deletion template or on this AfD discussion page. At the moment the problem with the article is that it is mistitled "Cli Gaidhlig" rather than simply "Cli" and this mistitling (and the consequent impression that the organisation is far less prominent than it actually is) is what has led to your Afd. siarach (talk) 10:17, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Keep - I agree with An Siarach. Useful to know what this organisation is, since it is quite important in the Gaelic community. --Doric Loon (talk) 13:28, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Weak keep - I had to look elsewhere to gauge notability, though, as it's not clear from the article that the organization is notable. It needs much improvement otherwise I could see other editors, in good faith, nominating this for deletion in future (assuming it survives this). Rameses The Ram (talk) 15:07, 26 January 2009 (UTC)

Keep - Clì is often mentioned with regards to lobbying etc in the news (eg - in Gaelic) and are represented at the Scottish Parliament cross party group on Gaelic. I appreciate, though, that the article is still a stub and further information is required.Prof Wrong (talk) 12:31, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
