The result was merge to Impact100. this target did not exist at the time of nomination, but Beccaynr has since begun it. While !merge was not an explicit consensus, it is implied in DGG's "delete" and appears a valid ATD close. Star  Mississippi  21:55, 23 January 2022 (UTC)

Impact100 Sonoma

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

I wrote this Wikipedia article when I first moved to the Sonoma area. Now, I think it might fail WP:NORG because it's only featured in localized press coverage.

 * WP:BRANCH suggests this article could be merged into an article about the parent organization, but there appears to only be an article for founder Wendy Steele. From my initial research, it looks like Impact100 could be supported as a standalone article due to its national scope and impact, e.g. Impact100 celebrates 20 years of empowering women (Wichita Falls Times Record News, 2021), Giving circles, where people pool their money for charity, have quadrupled, especially among women (Philadelphia Inquirer, 2019), Impact100 brings women together to create philanthropic power (Detroit Free Press, 2018), Ann Pierson gives back with Impact100 (Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, 2017), Impact 100 founder named Jefferson Award winner (Cincinnati Enquirer, 2014). As an alternative to deletion, I suggest developing an Impact100 article and then a selective merge. Beccaynr (talk) 23:25, 18 January 2022 (UTC)
 * I have since started the Impact100 article, which is currently under construction. Beccaynr (talk) 02:45, 19 January 2022 (UTC)


 * Delete a local branch of a nartional society is notgenerally notable, because all the coveage is likely to be notices and advocacy. No prejudice against a general article on the main organization.  DGG ( talk ) 05:29, 19 January 2022 (UTC)
 * As I've developed the Impact100 article, I've been selective with local and regional coverage about local chapters, by keeping a focus on more in-depth reporting about the history and development of the organization; there appears to be similar coverage available about Impact100 Sonoma that could be merged, e.g. Impact100 proves the power in numbers (Press Democrat, 2012), Group awards $325k to impact Sonoma Valley nonprofits (Sonoma Valley Sun, 2019).
