European Youth Press

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Promotional article. Telltale signs include: a) none of the member organisations has a Wikipedia article (Because they together build the EYP, and each of them is to small) b) this is the only contribution of the article creator.

Having said that, let's run down the list of "references" to show why they do not establish notability:
 * This is EYP's own website; no further comment is needed.
 * This, this and this are the sites of various projects/NGOs of a similar nature to EYP. Not independent sources by any means.
 * The European Parliament Information Office in Ireland? Please. || Just check before writing some nonsense.
 * EYP's own magazine? Again, I don't think so.  --> If you have a look to M100 a important Media Colloquium you can see it's a partner of the EYP. Also the orangelog has some articles about M100. May that are facts enough. On the right sight of orangelog you can see a powerd by button. That shows also that orange is a part of EYP.
 * And a PR release.

I the absence of "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject", we should delete. - Biruitorul Talk 14:54, 12 August 2012 (UTC)

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

 Added some reliable 3rd party sources
 * Delete There is also an earlier analysis of the extent to which the given sources are not independent reliable sources at Talk:European Youth Press. Since then an IP editor has added a further source to the article. This is from a 2010 "Task Force Policy Report on Democracy in the European Union" from the University of Washington Henry M. Jackson School of International Studies. However I feel this is just a passing mention ("Another program that has successfully promoted mobility among students is European Youth Media Days. ... It was hosted by the European Parliament and organized by the European Youth Press.") and insufficient to establish WP:CORPDEPTH for European Youth Press itself.

Better? sol777 12:29, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment One of these added references is a Blog deadlink, the others are competition opportunity notices etc. They fall short of being in-depth 3rd party coverage about the organisation. AllyD (talk) 18:55, 22 August 2012 (UTC)
