The result was   no consensus. No consensus following three relistings. However also no prejudice against a renomination, on account of that same lack of discussion. The Bushranger One ping only 18:54, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Samuel Friedman Foundation

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

There's a conspicuous lack of independent coverage in reliable secondary sources. We have three links to what are more or less primary sources (1, 2, 3), a pair of press releases (4, 5) and an advertising campaign (6). - Biruitorul Talk 16:58, 25 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Biruitorul, part of the reason for creating the page involved the fact that typing in Samuel Friedman leads to 4 irrelevant alternatives involving indiviual(s) named Samuel Friedman (or a close variant of it), none of whom established this Foundation. This Foundation was set up for two reasons, to promote study within the Jewish community, and to give an annual Award to the Danish people for their assistance to Jewish people during World War 2.  There are no other foundations that do this, and the award is unique in this regard.  There are also other Wiki pages that would link to this page if it remains.  It is not possible to link to Samuel Friedman alone, for the reasons stated beforehand. It would be nice to be able to link recipients of the Samuel Friedman Rescue Award to the correct page, which won't happen if this page is deleted. Sources: links 1, 2, and 3 are there simply to establish the existence and work of the Foundation in the Buffalo area. I am inclined to think that the Western New York Grantmakers Association is an independent body with no stake in "promoting" the Foundation, they simply mentioned it in their research.   Two other links are from Universities, Yeshiva and Buffalo, where academics have received their awards, and I do not think those are press releases that could be expected to say much more than they did.  I have seen numerous other University citations that have been allowed as independent sources that establish facts.  I also think that sources from the collections of the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum (http://collections.ushmm.org/search/catalog/vha20423) to establish the identity of Samuel Friedman are reliable. I am not sure what other types of sources you would require, but if you can suggest some I will try and find them, or expand the article further.  Ybidzian (talk) 22:37, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
