Fox Foundation

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Deletion originally proposed as non-notable foundation (not to be confused with The Michael J. Fox Foundation); contested with the addition that it has the status of a university; tagged for sources; tag removed since "Vice Chancellor and Director can be easily contacted for full verification purposes as per external website"; brought here because of WP:V concerns.)

 * Delete. I don't see how notability is established by the claim of university status - where is the proof of this? If the objector says the "Vice Chancellor and Director can be easily contacted for full verification purposes as per external website", maybe they ought to do that (but we'd still need proper refs per WP:RELY). Googling "Fox Foundation for Combined Science" gives 4 hits, none of which are to multiple, independent, reliable sources which could establish notability. EyeSereneTALK 12:12, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable sources are produced. The foundation/university's "external website" included as the only source in the article is unconvincing. It is simply a sub-page of one "Ian Windsor's" ISP account at easyweb. The links given on this site for the email addresses of "the Chief Executive's Office", "The Executive Board", "the Director", "the Director of the Fox Foundation, Professor Ian J. Windsor, D.Lit., D.Sc, D.C.L.", and "Vice-Chancellor, Professor Michael Kenchington," all go to the same MSN email address. Delete as unverifiable, nn, probable hoax, unless verifiable and reliable sources are produced. Sarah 12:42, 7 August 2007 (UTC) Addit: Also, I think if this article is deleted it should be redirected to The Michael J. Fox Foundation because Googling "Fox Foundation" brings up thousands of references to the MJF Foundation. Sarah 05:52, 9 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete unless reliable sources are produced (per above comments). I find it very suspicious that such an organization's webpage has a large number of errors of spelling and grammar.  Accounting4Taste 16:37, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete as a hoax. The organization's home page claims to be representing "The University of Sezibwan" in "the Sovereign Principality of Sezibwan", but it does not appear that such a country exists. JulesH 17:24, 7 August 2007 (UTC)
