Feeding India

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

One year old student-founded charity that comprehensively fails the criteria at WP:ORG. This has been the subject of multiple speedy deletions for copyvio, blatant advertising, etc. in both draft and article space,. It has been created yet again with no change except shortening and close-paraphrasing the copyvio. (I have removed the "Missions" and "Principles" sections). Note that the references are to general articles about hunger and food waste in India, not this organization. The only mentions appear to be in student newspapers and a self-written blurb on social.yourstory.com. I can find nothing better. It needs an AfD result to prevent further attempts at recreation. Given the utter failure of the article's creator to understand or engage with the issues and their determination to continue recreating this article, I also recommend salting this.

Note re the copyvio. The text pasted into this article and its previous versions is double copyvio. When checking for copyright infringement in the previous versions, I discovered that virtually all the text on their website (feedingindia.net) is actually copied verbatim from other websites for food banks in the US (affiliated to Feeding America) and the website of the Delhi NCR FoodBank. This includes their "Mission" and "Principles" and their exposition on food wastage in India. Just one example of many, compare Feeding India and Blue Ridge Area Food Bank.

 * Delete and salt both titles - Obviously here to promote so delete & salt – Davey 2010 Talk 16:52, 4 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete and salt as per nom and all above. I looked at the previously deleted versions, there seems to be nothing notable here, unless there are sources unlisted and that my web search did not find. Time to think about a WP:SNOW close? DES (talk) 01:25, 5 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - I'm not so sure about the salt as it's only been restarted twice now so unless there's intent to start again (there have been more blatant articles), I'll go soft on a salt for now. As for good notability, I found nothing good aside from the current Indian news links currently in the article. SwisterTwister   talk  04:19, 7 July 2015 (UTC)
