The result was stubify. Consensus is that this is advertising, but a less spammy version could probably be kept as notable. Cutting it down to a stub.  Sandstein  07:42, 18 July 2015 (UTC)

Alleged to by CSD-eligible on promotional grounds, but I think the article may be salvageable. Community gets the final say on this one. TomStar81 (Talk) 11:12, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

 * AfD is not for clean up. Can anyone doubt that if this was a similar government organisation for a country in Europe or even a State of the US, it would have been cleaned up long ago. Unfortunately I do not have the time to improve it. I suggest flag it for COI and needing cleanup and keep for now. -- Bduke   (Discussion)  02:43, 8 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep per Bduke. --99of9 (talk) 02:13, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Comment (stubify) -- maybe simply deleting "Strategic foundations" (similar to the original version by - see 3 October 2014 version) could be a solution, removing the worst promotional parts. Unfortunately the originally short factual description has been puffed up by later SPA edits, full of irrelevant details and self-presentation. The article is short of independent sources too, but that could be improved by interested editors over time. For a government organization, that just started full reporting in 2014 it's likely that more coverage will be available in time (or is possibly already available in Ethiopian sources, although an English-language search had little success). The current version is definitely too promotional and gives undue weight to overly detailed self-descriptions. GermanJoe (talk) 18:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Stubify Probably is notable, but this is a puffpiece. Keep the intro, maybe some of the history, but not much else. Joseph2302 (talk) 23:04, 17 July 2015 (UTC)
