Kopernik (organization)

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I stand by my prod rationale: "The coverage (references, external links, etc.) does not seem sufficient to justify this article passing General notability guideline and the more detailed Notability (organizations) requirement." Deprodded by creator "Object to deletion because Kopernik (organization) is a registered NPO in the US and had successful ongoing activities for the past 4 years". I am afraid this is simply not sufficient defense in light of the cited policies. PS. It's a shame that the creator was not trying to save valuable encyclopedic images showing that NGO's work in developing countries (commons:Commons:Deletion requests/File:Waterfilters.jpg and others). PPS. See related AfD: Articles for deletion/Ewa Wojkowska. Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 04:21, 19 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep. Meets GNG, three dedicated articles: in the Jakarta Globe, Gazeta.pl , and the Jakarta Post . Also a paragraph in the New York Times  and in a US Dept of State site . Novickas (talk) 13:43, 20 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Some good finds. I am almost convinced to change my mind. Anyone else would like to comment? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus&#124; reply here 03:40, 22 August 2014 (UTC)

 * Reluctant keep. I was concerned about this article and the two others on the organization's founders from the start. They were produced by an SPA (who has done no other editing) who is likely related to the organization. The same user uploaded a number of copyright violations to Commons that were used in these articles and that had to be deleted. The text of the article still reads too much like an advertisement. But despite such concerns, I myself never nominated this for AfD because brief searches of the net seems to show enough to satisfy WP:GNG. I think we have to keep it, but it needs some strict, neutral editing. Michitaro (talk) 22:18, 22 August 2014 (UTC)
 * If it's kept, I'll do a rewrite. Novickas (talk) 14:37, 23 August 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep but rewrite. Novickas brought up several valid sources. In addition, the article contains an article from the Huffington Post, which covers the organization in some detail. Spirit of Eagle (talk) 18:31, 26 August 2014 (UTC)
