Seedrioru

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Virtually unreferenced article about an organization. As always, every organization is not automatically entitled to have a Wikipedia article just because it exists -- to qualify, it has to be the subject of enough reliable source coverage in media to clear WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH. While there is one actual piece of media coverage in the contextless linkfarm of external links ("Estonian Express, Article 2007"), clearing ORGDEPTH (or even just basic GNG) takes a lot more than just one piece of coverage, but the rest of the external links are primary sources rather than reliable or notability-building ones. There's very likely some form of conflict of interest editing here as well, because this is tarted up with a truly incredible volume of deep detail and history that can't possibly have been gleaned from reliable sources by an unaffiliated observer -- in my 15 years of contributing to Wikipedia, this is a pretty strong candidate for the longest article I've ever seen without a single footnote to actually reference any of the content. Simply put, the sourcing isn't cutting the mustard in terms of making this organization notable enough for inclusion, and nothing claimed in the article body is "inherently" notable enough to exempt the sourcing from having to cut mustard.

 * Comment: the same article was the subject of a declined draft (Draft:Seedrioru Estonian Summer Camp for those that can view deleted pages) only six days before this article was created. This is an expanded version of the draft article. Mind  matrix  19:06, 29 October 2018 (UTC)
 * Comment: perhaps something from this page could be salvaged into a new Estonian diaspora in Canada or the existing Estonian Canadians, but that would require some time investment to separate the wheat from the chaff, as it were. Mind  matrix  19:06, 29 October 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Dom from Paris (talk) 19:02, 5 November 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete. A WP:BEFORE search doesn't show enough significant coverage in independent sources to meet WP:NCORP. Even if it did, this is probably a case of WP:TNT.-- SkyGazer 512 Oh no, what did I do this time? 15:07, 13 November 2018 (UTC)
