Going Coastal

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I don't see how this meets WP:GNG or WP:NCORP. Sourcing in the article either isn't independent, isn't significant coverage, is unreliable, or the link doesn't work. With that said, I searched google books, finding this Journal of Commerce that mentions it in passing, a mention in The New Yorker (looks like a routine listing of their event as far as I can tell). On google there are various charity listings and Wikipedia mirrors, none of which establish notability, and this, which barely counts as a book review-- I don't think it even mentions the book. I then checked my universities databases, and found exactly one passing mention. Newspapers.com is a little more promising, with some passing mentions (mainly this AP article), but that's again not enough to establish notability. The article further has a very promotional tone. It's possible (though unlikely) there could be enough coverage based upon how many different sites use the title 'going coastal', and the article has been around since 2005, but I just don't see a pass of NORG or GNG.

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete I think the nominator did a good analysis of why this fails WP:GNG based on the sourcing. Everything seems to be trivial passing mentions. So, it's reasonable to delete the article. --Adamant1 (talk) 19:34, 24 July 2020 (UTC)
