 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was keep. Thank you to User:Carwil for researching sources. There's broad consensus after these sources were presented that the topic is notable, even if the article as it currently stands is a mess. So, somebody needs to give this some serious editing love, perhaps WP:TNT, and get the sources properly cited in the article. -- RoySmith (talk) 14:05, 26 July 2017 (UTC)

Does not meet the notability guidelines. The article is promotional too, with primary sources. The last 2 AfDs failed to achieve consensus. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 14:31, 25 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails the GNG, not enough directly about it. L3X1 (distænt write)   )evidence(  14:24, 20 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep — This topic mixes broad international cooperation with a low press profile; it involves many players and produces regular agreements, and its an international body that has met 8 times. These latter facts suggest notability that may be hidden within the names of the many initiatives that seem to emerge out of the CEM. Nonetheless, these source suggest that there is strong independent interest in the overall topic from relevant experts: Columbia University Center on Global Energy Policy podcast and article on CEM. Energy and Environment News article on a recent meeting. Foreign Affairs published a first-person piece on the role of the CEM in US strategy. We also substantial references in Addressing Global Environmental Challenges from a Peace Ecology Perspective, Energy and Global Climate Change: Bridging the Sustainable Development Divide, Global Governance on Renewable Energy, and "Introduction to the Special Issue: Governing Energy in a Fragmented World" in Global Energy Governance. --Carwil (talk) 05:34, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - I think I'd go and cry in a corner if I was asked to salvage this article, but suffice to say, a news search does give me confidence there is enough coverage in sources for somebody to do it. Ultimately, "nobody cares about this article" isn't part of the deletion policy. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  11:20, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Keep - In light of the sources found by . But it should be stubified, all the unsourced and primary sourced claims should be removed. Rentier (talk) 11:51, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment - I almost speedied this article per WP:G12 as most of it is copied from the top hit in this report. However, since that's a Federal Government Report, the text is PD. Still could do with a trim, though. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont)  12:05, 26 July 2017 (UTC)
