Heinrich Böll Foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

not notable, the entire page is based on one source (its own webpage), reads like promotion, couldn't find any RS in the news about it, etc.... Soosim (talk) 11:17, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Comment - there are literally one or two RS about it, but not really discussing it, except for one very negative one. Soosim (talk) 11:31, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep (update, 17:05; this was a comment first, it's a keep now) - there are presently six parties in the German parliament, each of them has a political foundation--all of those play a major role in German politics, cf German Wikipedia, the Heinrich Böll Foundation is one of them. Results for "Heinrich Böll Foundation" in the nytimes.com, washingtontimes.com, guardian.co.uk, and spiegel.de (Der Spiegel). --tickle me 14:37, 6 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep - there are many RS available, just a matter of putting them into the article. Notability not in question. Tickle me's informative 'Comment' should be a Keep, I think. Chiswick Chap (talk) 15:57, 6 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep per above. This is an important player in German, EU and even US politics. Definitely notable. – Kaihsu (talk) 16:01, 6 January 2013 (UTC)

Comment - i am happy to keep the page, but your sources provided actually prove my point that they are not notable. most of the RS from all the english language sites talk about which event they hosted or some such not important info. there are no articles about the fund itself. that is what i was surprised at and hence, felt that while they are important, they have no RS to prove it.
