Green Standard

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This appears to be an advert for this organisation: http://green-certificate.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=26&Itemid=7. See also this letter http://www.unglobalcompact.org/system/commitment_letters/13948/original/Green_Standard.pdf?1306951809 ( from a UN database).

 * FYI,
 * On reviewing the Google results (above) I see the four top hits are four organizations that are apparently unrelated to the content of the article I proposed for deletion:


 * http://www.thegreenstandard.com/services
 * http://www.thegreenstandard.org/EPD_System.html
 * http://www.thegreenstandard.org.uk/
 * http://www.toronto.ca/planning/environment/greendevelopment.htm
 * Other hits seem to use the phrase 'green standard' as a nickname for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design, again unrelated to the content posted.

 * Comment. The author left a note at Talk:Green Standard; I link it here for reference. Even if UN documents are public domain (and I'd think they would be), there's almost nothing remaining when we remove the potential copyvio. The article does not seem to be about Green Standards, but about a meeting at which they were discussed. UltraExactZZ Said~ Did 20:09, 19 December 2011 (UTC)

 * I know this debate is closed, but it's important to note that UN documents are not public domain. It would be nice, but unfortunately their websites and contents are fully reserved: . If this material is ever restored, UN content will have to be removed from the article--again. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 01:40, 25 December 2011 (UTC)
