Disaster Risk Management in East Asia

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

This work was previously nominated for deletion in 2008; later on in that year, the original decision was to keep the article. Since the decision, no substantial work has been done on the page.

Issues:
 * The creator of the article has only created this article, which was seen as original research, advertisement, and a COI.
 * In six years, almost nothing has changed. Thus, the above issue pretty much remains.
 * If the article hasn't changed, it means that no one is looking at this page. Indeed, in the last 90 days, it has only received 329 views. By nominating this to be deleted, I had caused it to received one of the most views in the last 3 months - 16.
 * The article is still pretty much unsourced, with no inline citations, and the one sourced link appears dead.
 * None of the organizations and institutions listed in the article have their own Wikipedia page.
 * The article is void of any standard, and is completely unorganized.
 * The article is an orphan, and the only article Wikipedia has concerning 'disaster risk management.' The otherwise closest is Disaster risk reduction, which is hardly a gem itself. Indeed, East Asia is the only region that has its own article, even if we consider WikiProject Disaster management. Unless we are to spearhead creating an article like this for every region, this article should be deleted.

Alternatively, the only non-deleting option that comes to mind is to merge this article with Disaster risk reduction and that article to be merged with Emergency management. I am willing to discuss additional alternatives.

Thank you,

 * Delete This isn't an article on disaster risk management in East Asia. It's one organization's status report or press briefing from seven years ago on its then-recent activities in the area of disaster risk management in East Asia. It's like creating an article titled "Mathematics" consisting of nothing but the minutes from the Year's Update section of the General Session of the 2003 convention of the European Mathematics Association: whether the title refers to a notable topic is beside the point. It amounted to using Wikipedia as a web host for that organization's dissemination. —Largo Plazo (talk) 21:18, 14 November 2015 (UTC)
