Global Centurion

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Article created by a member of the organisation, via AFC. The cited sources fall into four categories: (1) The organisation itself; (2) Dead links; (3) Trivial passing mentions; (4) No mention at all.

The article as written is therefore a directory entry with no independent sources to demonstrate notability. Guy (Help!) 11:39, 27 February 2011 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Ron Ritzman (talk) 00:30, 6 March 2011 (UTC)

 * Comment I don't see what there is to rescue, the article is a decent stub/start its just that there are no significant references to the org. Current refs are 3 dead links, 3 articles about Ms Hotaling (who had nothing to do with the organisation it seems, they have adopted her legacy) and one self published art which confirms Laura Lederer is indeed involved in GC.


 * Gnews grabs 9 results, of which a couple are obituries of people who have donated to GC, but most seem to mention it once, and only use it to establish Ms Lederer's credentials (e.g. 'the vice president of policy and planning for Global Centurion, an organization that fights child sex trafficking') - do we not need to establish notability before investing in rescuing the page?

 * Keep Kansas City considers the organization notable enough to mention it and quote the head of the organization who they seek out to question for the article. Google translation of a Spanish news source  shows much of an article about human sex trade covers this organization and its founder.  Her research and work is done through this organization.

 * Delete: The source DreamFocus cites mentions the organization, but as we all know, a source must discuss the subject in "significant detail" to qualify, which it does not. Furthermore, WP:ORG specifically debars "quotations from an organization's personnel as story sources" or "passing mention, such as identifying a quoted person as working for an organization" as being valid evidence of notability.  Would anyone care to provide multiple, reliable sources which discuss the organization in significant detail?   Ravenswing  13:29, 10 March 2011 (UTC)
