International development consulting

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

Unsourced since 2010 with no attempts at improvement. These very broad industry topics are very difficult to assess notability, but I have been unable to find significant secondary coverage on this topic outside of a blog post and passing mentions in books. Might be best to redirect or merge to consulting firm. ThadeusOfNazereth(he/him)Talk to Me! 18:35, 20 September 2023 (UTC)

 * Delete: Never had any sources. Is wikilinked from just 5 articles using the term "international development consulting" (no caps) as if it is a generic phrase. The external link to "official website" goes to ICF, previously known as "Inner City Fund" and doesn't use the term "international development consulting". In fact, the phrase itself is self-defining. I posit that it is not a company, and is perhaps a category of types of companies or NGOs, but certainly not a category/type that is notable enough for its own Wikipedia article. ▶ I am Grorp ◀  09:44, 5 October 2023 (UTC)

 * Redirect to international development for now. There is currently approximately zero content suitable for merge at the moment. It may be possible for the industry to be covered on a standalone article at some future date (no strong opinion whether that should be at another title, should it hapen), though I am personally expecting WP:NOPAGE here. This, though, is not it. Alpha3031 (t • c) 12:23, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment: Pinging : Are we okay with a redirect to international development per Alpha3031 above? We need consensus here for action to be taken. For the record, I support a simple redirect to international development as well. 13:40, 19 October 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by ThadeusOfNazereth (talk • contribs)
 * I would not agree to a redirect. The article International development consulting is almost identical to its original version in 2010, as is the article Public sector consulting which was created by the same user; the only edits they ever made. Both articles should be deleted. There is nothing of value on the talk pages, nor any edit history that is valuable to keep—which would be the only reason to keep it as a redirect. Delete it.  ▶ I am Grorp ◀  19:13, 19 October 2023 (UTC)
