San Francisco-Haifa Sister City Committee

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Potentially significant, but a promotional article for some quite minor events, with extensive quotes from all the various public figures involved, all of whom are good at getting PR.  DGG ( talk ) 05:12, 14 April 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - the article is well sourced and the subject is noteworthy. Reading through the article, its "promotional" issue is relatively minor and should be addressed on the talk page. Shalom11111 (talk) 08:03, 20 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Delete The article has many references, but they are not impressive. The only media source is local and parochial, the Northern California Jewish Weekly; that's four references, but from a single source, and WP:ORG requires multiple sources. The rest of the references are to things like press releases, county enactments, calendar announcements, the obituary of a key founder, etc. I could not find anything significant about this organization from more broad-based Reliable Sources in a search. As for "notable", San Francisco has 18 sister cities and most cities have a comparable number; I was unable to find ANY sister city relationship whose committee has an article. --MelanieN (talk) 02:33, 21 April 2014 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete per lack of substantial coverage in reliable independent sources. Some of the cited sources don't even mention this subject. This is a marketing piece that does not comport with Wikipedia's standards. Candleabracadabra (talk) 19:08, 22 April 2014 (UTC)
