Ohio River Trail Council

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Renominated due to the article being mistakenly speedied under CSD G12; the article creator apparently has permission to copy content from the website of the organisation.

The article is basically a mess; no real notability is asserted as far as I can see, it includes speculation and far too much micro-detail, and is essentially a rewrite of the organisation's mission statement. KaySL (talk) 15:06, 3 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. I tagged it for speedy deletion the last time without looking to find the copyright permission, for which I assign myself 20 lashes with a wet noodle.  I thought it was very unlikely to pass AfD, so I checked for copyvio to see if I could save people some time, but I didn't check further, so, I'm sorry.  That said, unfortunately I agree with the above comments that this organization is not currently notable.  There's this writeup in the local Beaver County times, but that just doesn't amount to "significant coverage."   Glenfarclas   ( talk ) 03:06, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Please refer to the organization's website for significant news articles regarding the progress of the Ohio River Trail Council that are no longer available on-line.--Troiaeye (talk) 05:40, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Comment - I was about to say rename to Ohio River Trail, where this can be a section, as there is much written about the trail itself. It is confusing though and there seems to be more than one thing referred to as the Ohio River Trail - at least one of them seems sufficiently notable but I can't determine which - Peripitus (Talk) 11:37, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

There are a number of Ohio River Trails along the Ohio River. Most notably in Ohio and West Virginia under the direction of different organizations. The long term goal is a continuous Ohio River Trail from Pittsburgh, Pa to Cairo, Ilinois.--Troiaeye (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2010 (UTC)

Request that no action be taken as a result of this deletion nomination until 7th January; Troiaeye has significantly rewritten the article, and all that really remains is for notability to be firmly established and proven within the article. I've suggested a two-day grace period for him/her to work on it. KaySL (talk) 14:36, 5 January 2010 (UTC)

Retract AfD: the article has been significantly condensed, improved, and had references written into it (ideally these should be cited in a more traditional manner, but that can be done once it's no longer being considered for deletion. KaySL (talk) 00:45, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
