Sparks (charity)
AfDs for this article: 
 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Blatant COI (creator of the page is User:SparksCharity), and the only significant coverage I found of the charity was this Bloomberg profile and this article on its merger. The "significant rewrite" clamored for in the first AfD never happened, and it fails WP:GNG.  Willsome 4 29  (say hey or see my edits!) 04:38, 14 March 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete or redirect: I added a couple of references but they rely heavily on primary sources, concerning this small charity's operational merger. Aside from these and the routine listings which provide the other references, I can find passing mention confirming Jimmy Hill's involvement in its foundation but nothing sufficient for the current WP:ORGDEPTH requirements. A redirect/merge of a sentence into Great_Ormond_Street_Hospital could be an alternative to outright deletion, though that may still require better WP:RS coverage to avoid being undue coverage.

 * Delete and start over - The article has been in this COI scenario since the creator made it in 2009. The first AfD called for keeping the article provided it gets rewritten. As stated above, it never happened. The majority of the edits have a COI - this will be present regardless of a rewrite and given its history of COI editors - it needs TNT to start over. – The Grid  ( talk )  15:38, 29 March 2019 (UTC)
