Seal the Deal!

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Appears to be a slogan promulgated (at least according to the only references) by the Secretary-General, referring to a more-or-less notable (but unnamed) United Nations organization; it's not an organzation,  not a campaign, and not a notable slogan. Possibly rename (without redirect) to the actual name of the campaign (if there is one), or merge (with hat notes pointing to the song) to the UN organization actually running the campaign, if it really is a UN organization, and not an unsupported initiative of the Secretary-General. — Arthur Rubin (talk) 18:01, 19 September 2009 (UTC)  Please add new comments below this notice.

 * Additionally, it's purpose seems to be to lobby a UN conference, which might very well be improper, even if it were a real UN organisation. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 18:40, 19 September 2009 (UTC)
 * From an official UNEP press release: "Hamburg's Climate Week, running under the UN slogan "Seal the Deal!", aims to generate international awareness and to significantly contribute to helping world leaders during the UN-Climate conference in Copenhagen make decisions that will help steer economies and populations towards a healthy future." ► RATEL ◄ 01:26, 20 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's still a slogan; the actual organization, if any, should be listed. — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 03:51, 20 September 2009 (UTC)

 * Strong keep the article. We have the right to know the UN Secretary actions to promote climate change agreement.--Nopetro (talk) 03:59, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment. We have no source that that's the name, it's the Secretary-General's slogan.  Until recently, we did not have any articles on slogans, no matter how notable.  — Arthur Rubin  (talk) 07:47, 22 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Things made up in a day don't belong. No evidence of reliable sources given or found. tedder (talk) 22:52, 23 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Delete Unless a suitable merge target is found. Non-notable slogan. ChildofMidnight (talk) 01:58, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * It's the slogan for a petition to be presented at the United Nations Climate Change Conference 2009 and that should be the redirect target, just like redirects to World Conference against Racism 2001.  Most of the content here that isn't plain soapboxing duplicates what is covered by the UNCCC2009 article. Uncle G (talk) 05:39, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. While the slogan is also the name of this campaign, as Uncle G points out, the content has a better merge target. That said, I don't feel this should be a redirect - it doesn't seem to be a decent point for redirect, and the article is more of a soapbox besides. -- Dennis The Tiger   (Rawr and stuff) 19:31, 26 September 2009 (UTC)
