List of Microfinance Institutions in Nepal

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Collection of companies that have no assertions of notability themselves, and the topic itself has questionable notability. Would a list of Microfinance Institutions in Nepal be a notable specialisation of information? SGGH ping! 16:32, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

 * weak keep microfinance institutions are, in my book, notable because of what they do--they take on very small loans that other lending institutions do not take on. List of them in Nepal?  I could see it.  Doesn't appear to be self promotion really (because anyone needing a micro-loan probably doesn't have access to Wikipedia anyway, but that's just a guess).--Paul McDonald (talk) 04:34, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete Per nom, and the institutions linked don't have their own pages on Wikipedia. Maybe we can have this list once we actually have a few articles on the institutions it lists. Netalarm   talk  05:42, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep The individual ones aren't notable so a list seems a good way to include them appropriately. All human knowledge. :) ChildofMidnight (talk) 08:10, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete It doesn't in fact seem to have much redeeming value without sourcing or articles related to the list. ChildofMidnight (talk) 06:17, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Microfinance: I'm pretty sure the topic is notable as I've seen it come up in passing in a lot of sources. I'm not sure why you would single out Nepal but I'd be interested in sources. Certainly an obscure location not inherently un-notable but if you are stuck with dead-tree sources ( things you need to hire a native tour guide to find LOL) I'm not sure it will make verifiability. I think the larger issue here is how to document verifiable facts that don't happen to be on google yet. Nerdseeksblonde (talk) 11:41, 9 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Updating comment But why should microfinance institutions in Nepal have their own page? Netalarm   talk  21:44, 9 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Delete Looks like listcruft to me. Perhaps it should be merged somehow, or a list of micro finance institutions around the world should be created? Billbowery (talk) 05:19, 10 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Userfy or merge with Microfinance so it can be worked on. I see a possible good list, but the current state is a mess and needs citations. Bearian (talk) 21:48, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
