Tampa Bay Network to End Hunger

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This organization appears to fail WP:NGO. I'm seeing local coverage in my searches, but nothing out-of-the ordinary that indicates that the organization is (inter-)nationally notable. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 04:35, 3 October 2021 (UTC)

Does the organization have to be internationally important to be on Wikipedia? A lot of hunger relief organizations don't have that reach, they're national or regionally based. AGParsons (talk) 22:20, 3 October 2021 (UTC)
 * From WP:NGO:


 * The guideline also states that Organizations whose activities are local in scope (e.g., a school or club) can be considered notable if there is substantial verifiable evidence of coverage by reliable independent sources outside the organization's local area. Where coverage is only local in scope, consider adding a section on the organization to an article on the organization's local area instead. I simply don't see substantial coverage of the group out of the local area. This is the reason for my phrasing above. — Mikehawk10 (talk) 01:23, 4 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

 * Delete. WP:AUD is relevant here: "attention solely from local media...is not an indication of notability". That seems to be what's happening here: all the sources are local outlets. While I'm sure the organization does great work, some kind of coverage from outside the Tampa area is required to establish notability. Extraordinary Writ (talk) 05:30, 11 October 2021 (UTC)
