Foundation for MetroWest

Fails WP:ORG. Coverage is mainly local and not wider as per WP:AUD. Only one article links to this. LibStar (talk) 01:05, 5 June 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, ✗  plicit  01:37, 12 June 2024 (UTC)

 * If coverage is "mainly" local, then it is "at least one non-local", which is all that AUD requires. This appears to be a community foundation, and my inclination is to merge it into MetroWest (=the geographical area it serves).  We probably could find sources to demonstrate separate notability, especially since one of the already-cited sources is about "National Recognition For Rigorous Philanthropic Standards", but I think that merging it up will help people understand its purpose.

 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Delete. This Boston Globe article was the best thing I could find. It's less about the organization and more based on the subject of the organization's report.  I think if there was more of this type of coverage, you could make an argument for the article, but all the other news coverage is routine press releases about board members and local newspapers.  I am not in favor of merging as it is not clear how much information there is to enhance the target article.  Would it just be one sentence about the existence of one particular charitable organization?  Malinaccier  ( talk ) 02:03, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
