International Cities of Peace

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This organization appears yet to receive any significant coverage in reliable sources. Unable to find any despite good-faith search. Bongo  matic  22:09, 12 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. Two-year old...what, exactly? Marketing campaign? Lots of fluffy vagueness here. Web searches don't find anything useful from WP:RS's to demonstrate notability. They have lots of links in the article, but they seem either primary or do not seem to relate to the article subject. Also, beware of false hits--there seems to be or have been a UNESCO "city of peace" award predating this organization by some years. Fails WP:GNG. Also fails WP:NOTPROMOTION. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 23:13, 12 November 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete – I tried, too. Found it fails WP:GNG. Bongo and Hobbes are spot on here. JFHJr (㊟) 02:18, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Fails WP:GNG, clearly promotional. Mt  king  (edits)  03:18, 13 November 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep Significant progress has been made in helping foster grassroots initiatives around the world, especially in the Congo and Nepal. The Advisory Board includes high-level individuals including the foremost scholar on cities of peace, Peter van den Dungen. No individual receives any compensation for the volunteer work being done. As Executive Director, and someone like you who is spending a great deal of time volunteering, I hope you'll let us keep this Wiki page open in order to encourage peacemakers throughout the world. We will work on increasing citations and learning about the Wiki format and guidelines. Thank you. Please ask questions, if you like.

 * This is clearly a subject close to your heart, and it is for that reason you are not the person to be writing a encyclopaedia article on the organisation. Mt  king  (edits)  22:28, 15 November 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete as failing WP:GNG. Stuartyeates (talk) 08:15, 16 November 2011 (UTC)
