Humanitarian International Services Group

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

American humanitarian organization. The article has been marked as an advert for 4 years, and is almost entirely referenced to the organization's website. In 2013 the organization ceased to exist in this form, and became "Sustainable Communities Worldwide" (which organization doesn't have an article, either). A Google search hasn't turned up any relevant (non-trivial) third-party coverage. - Mike Rosoft (talk) 16:14, 11 October 2015 (UTC)  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete as both this existing the same since January 2008 and there being no obvious improvement to this currently unacceptable article is enough for a WP:TNT and a chance of making a better article whenever that may be. SwisterTwister   talk  07:18, 19 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - Concur with User:SwisterTwister. Seems like an obvious WP:TNT. There were a few reports in shadowy low reliability sources saying that HISG is a spy front, but I can't find any credible sources reporting on it. NickCT (talk) 17:59, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep for now - In its current form, the article is probably not worth keeping but The Intercept just published a lengthy story here with details about tax records and actions undertaken by the group, and I expect (as with Shakil Afridi), there will be further reporting on this. I would like to revisit in two weeks and if the article hasn't seen some improvements, it should get the axe.- Ich (talk) 04:00, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * I don't think the The Intercept qualifies as RS. We could go to the RS noticeboard to test that. Seems like conspiracy theory reporting. NickCT (talk) 13:27, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * Although the site has a strong political bent and is clearly focused on muckraking, I would still consider it acceptable in this case, provided the allegations are attributed. The author, Matthew Cole, worked for ABC News and NBC in the past, and the site has produced good coverage of other national security issues, particularly Snowden docs and drones. I would be interested in seeing the RS Noticeboard.- Ich (talk) 18:28, 28 October 2015 (UTC)
 * None of the allegations are attributed. It just says it's getting its information from "senior figures at the pentagon". I'm getting information from senior figures at the pentagon. They're telling me that Intercept is not reliable. NickCT (talk) 20:07, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

 * Delete - not enough coverage in reliable sources to show notability. (and kudos to  for giving me a chuckle in the morning).  Onel 5969  TT me 13:21, 3 November 2015 (UTC)
