Mediterranean Diet Foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Fails the notability criteria of WP:CORPDEPTH. A web search turns up lots of hits, including PubMed and other collections of research papers, but none that actually describe the foundation in detail and still qualify as reliable sources. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 14:27, 28 May 2014 (UTC)

 * I have added some references, mainly regarding activities, but didn't find sources clearly describing the institution in detail. There are some sources scattered in newspapers, but nothing very relevant. The fact is that the institution has notability, but the sources don't focus on its history but rather in the foundation's activity. What is missing to establish notability based on reliable sources? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rog Slink (talk • contribs) 10:06, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Activities might establish notability. Actually the main criterion in WP:CORPDEPTH is "a level of attention that extends well beyond routine announcements". If you can find a newspaper that interviews the head of an organization about the organization or its activities, that may count toward notability. Q VVERTYVS (hm?) 12:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you. I've added references, including: 1 ministery page; 2 Spanish large expression newspapers; 1 newspaper interview with the head of the foundation; 1 newspaper interview with a staff member (nutritionist); 2 peer-reviewed articles and 3 less expressive newspaper articles (regional/thematic). Is the article exempt from deletion? What else is needed? Rog Slink (talk) 13:23, 2 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep: the organization is notable enough as it has been the subject of significant coverage in reliable, independent secondary sources. It has participated in several activities, most of them well documented. The article needs some improvement, though. Maybe a cleanup? Rog Slink (talk) 09:19, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete Reads like promotion for a non-notable organisation. The Banner talk 10:09, 3 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Keep: the organization is notable enough and the Mediterranean Diet is great ! there is a need for a cleanup of the article, it is far from perfect but a really great start to a great start ! David Adam Kess — Preceding undated comment added 20:49, 3 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep The article could benefit from some work by an experienced editor fluent in Spanish. My reading of current sources using Google Translate convinces me that the group passes the notability threshold.  Cullen 328  Let's discuss it  05:01, 7 June 2014 (UTC)
 * Great idea! I am neither an experienced editor nor a fluent Spanish speaker, but I understand enough of the language to link the sources to the article, and I was convinced that this organization passes the notability threshold. What can we do to get an editor with such profile? Rog Slink (talk) 13:29, 12 June 2014 (UTC)


 * Delete per nom. Non-notable organisation. The diet is notable, not the foundation. SW3 5DL (talk) 18:40, 12 June 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep: As I stated above, and now there is a more talk on this Mediterranean Diet Foundation, the organization is notable enough and the Mediterranean Diet is great ! there is a need for a cleanup of the article, it is far from perfect but a really great start to a great start !  Have a great day !David Adam Kess  — Preceding undated comment added 15:49, August the 5th  2014 (UTC)
