Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/The Center of Hope


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus. Counting the !votes, this is in favor of deletion but the strength of arguments is roughly equal with no clear consensus. Allow me to elaborate: There are three different delete !votes: a.) no assertion of notability, b.) not enough coverage and c.) coverage is local only. a.) has been refuted by the addition of multiple reliable sources. c.) is not a valid reasoning for deletion since WP:N does not require that the coverage needs to be on any scope, except when it comes to significance. That leaves us with the question whether the coverage is enough to satisfy the inclusion criteria (b.)) and there is no consensus whether the coverage really is enough to satisfy the relevant criteria. As such, "no consensus" was the only way to close this discussion. Regards  So Why  08:50, 17 November 2009 (UTC)

I can't find significant coverage for this organization. Joe Chill (talk) 21:04, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - No assertion of charity's notability. --A More Perfect Onion (talk) 21:33, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - (1) WP:CSD The article makes no assertion of the notability of its subject; (2) WP:RS No sources are provided attesting to the notability of the article's subject; (3) WP:N The subject of the article is, in fact, non notable, as reliable sources testifying to its notability have not been turned up through good faith searches, and (4) WP:CSD The article lacks sufficient information about its subject to enable future editors to find additional information ("The Center of Hope" appears to be a common name for not-for-profits throughout the Western world). - DustFormsWords (talk) 03:32, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep per expansion of article and additional sources. - DustFormsWords (talk) 05:26, 10 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep on the basis of these references. When the subject of an article has the same name as others, it helps to include the organization's location in your Google search. -- Eastmain (talk) 05:07, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Commment: I don't think that local news show notability. Joe Chill (talk) 12:34, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak delete - no evidence of national notability; all coverage is local, only in Worcester, Massachusetts. I agree here with Joe Chill.  Some of the local newspaper articles have truly trivial mentions - a memorial donation in an obituary to the charity, a short interview with a volunteer, a fundraiser listing for Special Olympics, or the like.  I'd change my mind if something more substantial could be found. Bearian (talk) 20:54, 10 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - I can't find it. Shadowjams (talk) 13:25, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
