Dalberg Global Development Advisors
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No third party references for notability. Essentially promotional article, mostly worked on by now-blocked paid editor. (previous afd nomination was pre-empted by a G11 speedy, but that speedy was reverted by the admin who placed it)  DGG ( talk ) 17:37, 4 April 2015 (UTC)
 *  Delete or find significant independent coverage. Also, blank/revert all content added by the paid editor as it is bad for the rep of all involved. I have no idea where to look for independent coverage. Dalberg's own work and its joint work in the Financial Times suggest that it is highly notable, yet a naive web search shows me nothing. (Note: The original copyvio by inactive user  was blanked and doesn't appear in the current article.) --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:42, 5 April 2015 (UTC)
 * Sorry to change my view so quickly, but the Rolling Stone article mentioned at Talk:Dalberg Global Development Advisors looks significant at first glance, and if The Expatriate is an RS (it is new to me), then I could be persuaded towards a keep opinion. (I didn't try to track down the Business Week dead link.) --Hroðulf (or Hrothulf) (Talk) 09:51, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep and send for cleanup. If the paid editing material isn't there the article would have been in much better shape (and not be a repeat customer at AfD), but otherwise the organisation is notable with repeated appearances on the media. - Mailer Diablo 02:21, 12 April 2015 (UTC)
