The result was Delete; borderline CSD A7 material, notability hasn't materialised within AfD period, and folks seem to agree. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 09:55, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

International Charter


Doesn't appear to be too notable of a certification organisation, and the article sure doesn't claim that, aside that the certifications are "popular" which is a rather weak claim to fame. Google search for "International Charter" IC9700 -wikipedia gets me 62 distinct hits, for IC9200 66 distinct hits. With duplicates, both searches go to 800s. Allegations of scam on the article talk page doesn't inspire confidence either. I'm just kind of bringing this to AfD to give them the benefit of doubt; I'd hammer this with CSD A7 if I were on a much worse mood. wwwwolf (barks/growls) 13:29, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nomination. This isn't the ISO for sure. Kavadi carrier 15:17, 5 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep! If it's International, then it must be important, and Wikipedia has been delete happy as of late and I fear that many contributor's hard work will discourage participants and will detract from our ability to catalog human knowledge, the purpose of an encyclopedia.

 * Oh, please. "If it's International, then it must be important"? Some people guess my nickname comes from "WWW", as in World Wide Web; does that fact alone make me important too? =) Just a hint - Wikipedia works slowly and you can't change deletion policies, or prevailing notability consensus, just by opposing a random deletion. Yeah, we delete stuff aggressively. (Wikipedia is still growing though.) It's irrelevant in this particular case though - we're here to assess whether or not this subject warrants an article or not. Can you explain why this subject is notable? (Note that I'm not busting out one of these newfangled "not verifiable" or "lacks reliable sources" cards, I'm using a bit older "the article has extremely, extremely weak claims to fame and cursory examination says the subject is not notable at all" deletion rationale.) Deletion situation is at times pretty depressing all right. I'm just questioning why you're anxious to proclaim this article a martyr and an example of jackbooted deletion happiness gone awry. --wwwwolf (barks/growls) 10:58, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per nom. If it did exist/was notable, would have got more google hit. -Royalguard11 (Talk·Desk·Review Me!) 04:15, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
