Latvian Young Farmers club

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Non notable.  Edgars2007  (talk/contribs) 17:01, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Non-notable?? On what grounds? OK, so it's not a great article (argument for improvement, not deletion) but we have articles on other national young farmers' clubs or their equivalents (see: National Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs for the UK, New Zealand Young Farmers, Young Farmers' Clubs of Ulster, Macra na Feirme in Ireland). No doubt there are similar organisations with differing names in other countries that are also in Wikipedia. The article needs work - referencing particularly - not deletion.

 * Take a look at WP:Notable. If there are no reliable sources which cover the topic it's likely not notable. NickCT (talk) 20:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Delete - Agreed. No indication of notability. NickCT (talk) 20:50, 8 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Unlike the nominator, I do not speak Latvian. But a search on Google for Latvijas Jauno Zemnieku klubs (JZK), which is the appropriate term I understand, produces a lot of hits for sites that describe the organisation as well as its activities and make clear, for example, that it works with official bodies in the promotion of agriculture in Latvia. For example, a search on http://www.diena.lv which I understand to be a leading national daily shows that it is frequently referred to in its pages. I agree with Emeraude that on the face of it this is an organisation at least as notable amongst farmers in Latvia as are the other associations he mentions in their respective countries. Obviously Edgars2007 knows more, but it is difficult to comment further on his reasons for nomination without more explanation. --AJHingston (talk) 01:22, 9 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment Who still reads Diena? :D Diena.lv search doesn't seem to have limits for searching phrase, so it brings up Latvia and farmers as well and Google search brings up social networks and clones of company catalogs. I found this here saying they have 60 members, not sure it is comparable to organizations mentioned by Emeraude, just being mentioned in press doesn't always warrant notability Xil  (talk) 07:53, 16 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Delete - A google search fails to bring up proper sourcing, in my view. Article is unencyclopedic and reads like a promotion. Jus  da  fax   07:18, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: "Article is unencyclopedic and reads like a promotion." So rewrite it. Emeraude (talk) 09:50, 29 January 2013 (UTC)
