Nathan C. Splant Foundation

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

Recently founded charity organization. Claim of notability is "first and only of its kind in Indiana dedicated to providing direct assistance only to prematurity families," which does not strike me as notable (e.g. first and only squirrel in maple trees observation club in alaska would be notable under that rationalle). The purpose of the charity is great and touching, but does not follow through to notability under WP:ORG. Also, charity was founded in 2007, no independent third party sources seem to available and seems to be of local interest only. This is also a likely conflict of interest per the editor's name: MJSplant, who appears to be one of the founders of the organization. Declined speedy.

 * Comment I declined the speedy, worked too long in non-profits and tend to see the possibilities. I think the claim asserts sufficient notability so as not to be an A&, but I admit I'm not finding much that proves notability per WP:ORG. However, it's been involved with Shop for a Cause which means someone has probably taken notice of it. I'm still looking for RS coverage, neutral at the moment. StarM  06:31, 19 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete because the foundation doesn't meet the notability guidelines. Just because it is non-profit and works for a good cause (NPOV?) doesn't mean it gets a pass for inclusion. Themfromspace (talk) 08:40, 19 January 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment Conflict of interest is not a reason to delete an article although other problems with the article arising from a conflict of interest may be valid criteria for deletion." Anarchangel (talk) 02:21, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. The COI is NOT the reason for this AfD...just a note. The deletion policy reason would be notability and lack of available references for WP:V. Cquan (after the beep...) 04:49, 20 January 2009 (UTC)
