The result was delete. The "delete" arguments are stronger considering the state of the article, which is substantially unsourced and reads like a promotional text. May be recreated from scratch with reliable sources, if any can be found (none are cited here, ony serach results).  Sandstein  22:28, 27 November 2015 (UTC)

DAPP Zambia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I have found no reliable third-party sources for information about the organization DAPP (Development Aid from People to People) Zambia, and the article provides none. The few news stories I found thru Google seem little more than reprinted press releases. As such, the topic seems non-notable (Notability). Its only reason for existence seems to be advertising or promotion (WP:NOTADVERTISING), which would explain why seems logical given that "Elise Soerensen" is both the listed director of the organization and the username attached to some recent a number of content additions.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Sam Sailor Talk! 23:59, 11 November 2015 (UTC) Delete The entire article describes what the organization does, and mentions nothing for which it has become notable (which may be because it is not). I found no evidence of it being discussed non-trivially in reliable independent sources.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, North America1000 03:44, 19 November 2015 (UTC) Keep. The organization is notable in Zambia, as it is frequently mentioned in the Zambia Daily Mail and other national media. No need to be notable outside of the country, as that would disqualify more than half of Wikipedia articles about organizations in the United States. Quality of the article could be improved though, and especially references. Martinogk (talk) 10:00, 26 November 2015 (UTC)
