Oxford Council on Good Governance
del nonnotable student "think tank". The previous vote a year ago resulted in marginal keep and was plagued with sockpuppetry. During the passed year the contributors 100% lost intersest in their so vehemently defended article. I voted to "keep" but to watch, and now I see that the OcCoGoGo notability in fact decreased during the year: now google gives a scant 77 unique google hits. None of them give any third-party description of the OCGG, so in fact the article is still one big original research and vanity to this day. mikka (t) 22:59, 10 January 2006 (UTC)

 * Weak keep for its impressive advisory board. &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-11 06:53Z 
 * Sorry man, this is a reflected light. It is a no-brainer for a student bunch have themselves an advisory celebrity. mikka (t) 07:09, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * The founder used to work for Chris Patten, so I'm sure Patten was perfectly willing to lend his name in an honorary capacity. --Calton | Talk 07:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Okay, point taken. Not like one Weak Keep will do anything against all these Delete votes :)   &mdash;Quarl (talk) 2006-01-13 03:56Z 
 * Delete. Part of the André Nilsen self-promotion campaign. --Calton | Talk 07:37, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete per WP:NOR if nothing else. Stifle 14:56, 11 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete unless anyone can provide good evidence that they have actually been consulted by anybody. Otherwise it's just a postgrad student talking shop, isn't it? Just zis Guy, you know? [T]/[C] [[Image:Flag of the United Kingdom.svg|25px|  ]] AfD? 18:47, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
 * Well, one of the earlier versions said that they "handed" their advice to Kofi Annan or something. After reading their stuff, I strongly suspect that they were told "thank you" followed up by a wastebasket. Otherwise we would have seen all over their website: "We told him so and he did it!!!!" mikka (t) 21:01, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
