Nelson Mandela Institution

No working references. May not exist. Rathfelder (talk) 22:24, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep - several notable Ghits. Just seems to be a case of link/cite rot. Kirbanzo (talk) 22:57, 22 March 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete - double-checked and it seems that the Ghits I got were for the organization in the "See Also" section of the article. Gonna go for delete due to this. Kirbanzo (talk) 22:59, 22 March 2018 (UTC)


 * comment, have you done a WP:BEFORE search? You don't mentione one. If not, "no working references" is not a valid policy-based reason to delete. DES (talk)DESiegel Contribs 03:02, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Grand merge It clearly exists (that wasn't so hard - home page here) but it's rather low-key (although funded to the tune of R 10 m). It seems to be the governing/establishing body of Nelson Mandela African Institute of Science and Technology and African University of Science and Technology, both of which articles, you may notice, are in a similarly undersourced state. I'd suggest merging the lot together in this article, which may yield one acceptable unit. -- Elmidae (talk · contribs) 06:48, 23 March 2018 (UTC)
 * All I found was a Facebook page. The grand merger seems a very sensible plan. Rathfelder (talk) 08:08, 23 March 2018 (UTC)

 * Merge Elmidae's suggestion seems a wise idea. The combined bit would still be distinctly weak (source wise), but certainly in a better status regarding notability and a reasonable chance to continue. Nosebagbear (talk) 14:11, 12 April 2018 (UTC)
