Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

This article was marked to be speedily deleted. The subject is a charity, but while it doesn't have good referencing in the article I did a Google book search and found a number of publications that noted the organization. I then did a Google Scholar search and I noticed a few publications that talked about the organization. As I'm a bit uncertain as to the actual notability of this organization, I'm taking to AFD.

 * Redirect to Ekal Vidyalaya which isn't any better, but the organization easily passes WP:ORG, and a couple of refs could have just as easily been slapped in. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  18:44, 13 February 2010 (UTC)
 * SpacemanSpiff caught the duplication. I have copied most of Ekal Vidyalaya into this one, then expanded. A lot more could be added - fairly controversial. Let's close this AfD and then decide the best title and way to distribute the content. Not sure the single-teacher school movement and the charity are exactly the same thing, and the political connections are still confused. Aymatth2 (talk) 04:46, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The topic is clearly notable - see new content and sources. There is a USA foundation, and India foundation and the movement run by the FTS/VHP, so potentially there could be three articles. I would be inclined to just have one, because they are so interlinked, making this one a redirect to an expanded Ekal Vidyalaya holding the new content. I don't feel strongly, and that discussion should not muddy up the AfD discussion. Aymatth2 (talk) 16:20, 16 February 2010 (UTC)


 * The US and India foundations are the same in the sense that transnational companies are (e.g. Coca-Cola India Limited is not a separate article). Although the full name of the org is Ekal Vidyalaya Foundation, it appears to be referred to as just "Ekal Vidyalaya", which is why I suggested that as the target title, I'm open to either. &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  01:44, 17 February 2010 (UTC)
 * I think we are violently agreeing. Put all the content in one article, and "Ekal Vidyalaya" seems the best name. Make this title a redirect, mainly to preserve history. I can do that after close. Is there any point keeping this discussion open? I don't see any controversy. Aymatth2 (talk) 15:46, 17 February 2010 (UTC)

 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete - redirect is not nessesary. Wikid as&#169; 10:22, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * To avoid possible loss of content, I have copied this one into Ekal Vidyalaya. The two articles are now identical. The topic is clearly notable, with many independent sources. The question is which is the best title. Technically, "foundation" is probably correct. Common usage often omits "foundation". Aymatth2 (talk) 14:05, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Please explain that rationale, why is a redirect from the full name not necessary? &mdash; Spaceman  Spiff  17:40, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
