Medical Aid for Palestinians

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Inspired by Roscelese's suggestion, I decided to nominate Medical Aid for Palestinians because the organization fails the WP:Notability criteria in that few third-party sources mention the organization. On a quick Google search, the only thing I found about them was a Daily Mail article about a non-notable conference they organized. All of the other sources in the Google search were Facebook, YouTube, Wikipedia, and their own various official websites. What's worse is that this page fails the WP:RS and WP:V guidelines; the article is rather long, but cites very few sources and most of the sources it does cite are its own official website. This is a vanity page written as an advertisement for the organization. GHcool (talk) 05:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)

Comment - This seems a bit of an odd one to pick. MAP is a relatively well known organization in the medical/humanitarian world. Did you look at google scholar/books ?  Sean.hoyland  - talk 05:40, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * No. I should have.  I rescind my suggestion to delete.  I guess it is pretty popular in the UK, but this article is terrible. --GHcool (talk) 05:52, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * How do I get rid of this AfD? I don't want to waste people's time voting to keep the page. --GHcool (talk) 05:56, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
 * The page has a move tab. Maybe you can move/rename the AfD for a different org if you had any others in mind.  Sean.hoyland  - talk 07:15, 12 August 2011 (UTC)
