Gulf Coast Relief Fund

Insubstantial and suppositious. Unreferenced. Rathfelder (talk) 21:52, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Delete Unable to find sources to substantiate any claims of notability. However, it appears it's not an organization, but rather a fund started and managed by a religious organization in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. Outside of press releases, there's not been any mentions of the fund. There are a few funds with similar names but they're not the one in question. Elaenia (talk) 22:03, 9 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect, probably to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief, or perhaps not to the specific section if someone wants to object that it's a fund but not an organization per se. I'll add mention of this fund to the section, now, anyhow. It would be hard to call this editing a "merger" as there is no sourced content at all to merge. The fact of a $100,000 donation by a band seems significant, by the way. -- do  ncr  am  01:07, 10 March 2016 (UTC)
 * Redirect to Hurricane Katrina disaster relief, certainly don't delete.

It apparently served as an address to fund money raised in local fundraisers in towns literally form sea (California coast towns) to shining sea (Newburyport, Massachusetts).  It would be easy enough to source a decent section, probably even an article, but Hurricane Katrina disaster relief seems like a better repository for this Fund.  And, God bless the people who rose to the challenge of helping New Orleans in the wake of this disaster.E.M.Gregory (talk) 16:03, 17 March 2016 (UTC)
