Does not meet WP:ORGCRITE. Previously soft-deleted, recreation was requested by the same editor, who has stated on their user page that their sole goal here on Wikipedia is to write an article on this topic, and has made no further improvements since restoration to the state of the last AfD. signed,Rosguill talk 19:19, 29 January 2024 (UTC) Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Delete there are a lot of sources, but I agree with the relatively strict WP:ORGCRITE. SportingFlyer  T · C  12:48, 30 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Merge selectively to Keith J. Krach, who appears to have founded this institute and serves as its chairman. There's some coverage here from independent sources, though I'm a bit doubtful as to whether this passes WP:NGO on its own. But merging it into the article on Krach (perhaps as a standalone section) seems reasonable. — Red-tailed hawk  (nest) 01:18, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
 * Speedy as promotional It needs cleanup and many of the sources are weak, not independent, or about Keith Krach - but these three sources are fairly convincing: . We could just end up back here each time a new article is published. I would support speedy deletion for outright promotion based on 's link to the  article creator's own statement on his user talk page, and the poor quality of the article.

 * Those sources don't establish notability, they're press releases. signed,Rosguill talk 14:59, 6 February 2024 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Hey, I don't understand why the deletion of this page is so important. I believe all the people here are well versed in Wikipedia and they can fix the page to help the readers and the Wikipedia community. I created this page to help people I don't know why its being portrayed like I committed some type of sin. I only tried to create a full informative page and why would I promote anything and what benefit I can get from it? I read and researched extensively about Wikipedia guidelines and tutorials then finalized the content, so I guess you can help by editing the page because I know it contains a lot of reliable sources and the subject is notable not sure why its being denied as something that is not notable, I feel maybe de to political aspect or I'm not sure. TBH I'm pretty disappointed at the moment.... Not a single person is interested in editing the page and fixing it to the level they think is fine... Anyway, I respect opinions and I won't mind the outcome. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Tickingtime (talk • contribs) 17:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC)

And I read WP:ORGRITE the primary criteria already verifies its notability but I'll leave it maybe I'm knocking at the wrong door. Tickingtime (talk) 17:15, 11 February 2024 (UTC)


 * You have yet to actually identify any, let alone multiple, independent secondary sources with significant coverage of the subject. The currently-cited sources have been dismissed as a combination of press releases and mere mentions in more reliable sources that do not include significant coverage of the subject; you can present a counter argument, but you need to make reference to actual, specific sources and make the case for their independence, depth and reliability. signed,Rosguill talk 17:24, 11 February 2024 (UTC)
