EI-END

Non-notable organisation. I'm not sure about the content's veracity, but the organisation exists, even though there's not much (1 2 (is this the same organisation?) 3). Adam9007 (talk) 04:25, 11 January 2017 (UTC)

 * This "organisation" is a blatant hoax and the article is eligible for speedy deletion as such. I had proposed it for speedy deletion before you changed that. In particular,


 * "This page is about an NGO which claims that has enough money to pay off the whole of the Greek national debt. As the Greek national debt stands at more than 300 billion dollars, the NGO is not known worldwide and its single issue is about paying off the Greek national debt, I think this is an outright hoax article made up just to support this hoax with a wikipedia article. I therefore fullheartedly propose it for a speedy deletion.


 * I mean, consider the facts, an NGO that no one has heard of before is supposed to have more than 300 BILLION dollars and to have been set up in order to use this money to pay off the Greek national debt, by some Greeks who are again not known on a global or even national scale. Surely, Forbes couldn't have missed their names in its various lists of billionaires for this long... Heracletus (talk) 00:41, 11 January 2017 (UTC)"


 * It is not therefore surprising that the original website of this "organisation" no longer exists, as this is quite often the case with such hoaxes and scams. The wikipedia article was created only in order to provide some more credibility to this hoax. Heracletus (talk) 09:56, 14 January 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Comment: We should probably have an article on Artemis Sorras, an excentric who recently got quite a bit of news coverage (e.g ) for his public offer of taking over all of Greece's public debt (and apparently the private debts of its citizens on top of that). Whether his organization has reached the level of being also independently notable, I can't say at the moment. Of course the present article is completely worthless, so nothing will be lost if we delete it and start over if and when we have more material. Fut.Perf. ☼ 18:36, 15 January 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete: As per my arguments above. Even the lack of interest in anyone commenting about the deletion proposal kind of proves that this is not a notable thing to have an article about. Some more articles proving that this is a hoax/scam:


 * http://www.greeknewsonline.com/bank-of-montreal-refutes-ends-claims-that-600-billion-were-deposited-with-them/


 * and, in Greek:

 * Delete: I agree with Fut.Perf. above: the man, "Artemis Sorras", exists and made some outlandish claims (like having a net worth an order of magnitude greater than anyone else in the world), but this article has no rescue-able content - it is written from the perspective of someone who has completely eaten all the BS this man has produced. Artemis Sorras could potentially be a notable article, EI-END is certainly not, even if you do consider it to not be a hoax. Google produces nothing but first party stuff and WP mirrors. — crh 23   &thinsp;(Talk) 21:35, 18 January 2017 (UTC)
