F-CRIN

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

This article relates to a project which has been commissioned for Proofs of Concept etc. and was flagged for CSD A7. This was opposed by the article creator on grounds that "F-CRIN has no website and it is the only way for users to obtain information about it"; CSD was then removed by IPs. Wikipedia is not a webhosting site for project documents that have no other outlet so the article was Prodded on grounds that "No evidence that this project has achieved the notability required to appear on Wikipedia." Prod removed by IP without comment; stated concerns remain so bringing it to AfD on the same rationale. AllyD (talk) 21:29, 23 June 2012 (UTC)

 * Redirect to Framework Programmes for Research and Technological Development to which "European Clinical Research Infrastructures Network" redirects.Novangelis (talk) 00:31, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete That is a novel argument - "we need to keep this article BECAUSE it has no independent sources" - but it doesn't fly. And it doesn't appear to be true; information is available on the web here. This agency doesn't come close to meeting WP:ORG guidelines, with no independent sourcing at the article and literally zero coverage at Google News Archive. I oppose a redirect because the proposed target article doesn't mention this subject and IMO is not likely to; it covers a much broader portfolio than this agency. --MelanieN (talk) 02:03, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Kindness is, in general, a good thing, but MelanieN is way too kind in calling the argument to keep this article "novel". The word I would use is "spurious". We keep articles about notable topics. We don't keep articles about non-notable topics written by people who are trying to get attention for the topic by writing a Wikipedia article. We are not a free web hosting service - we are an encyclopedia of articles about notable topics, and this one isn't.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:10, 24 June 2012 (UTC)
