The Courage Cup

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

A non-notable charity. Whilst there is perhaps some notability regarding a controversy I see absolutely no suggestion of the charity itself being notable. The article was very likely created by the President/Chairman as self-promotion. See COIN discussion here and another AfD for the article about the President/Chairman here.

 * Delete. I have spent way too much time cleaning up after this user. There's some random references to The Courage Cup on news pieces, most significantly the episode of funneling funds to a political campaign, but that part is already in Gregory R. Ball, so there's no need of a separate article and/or merging. --SpacemanSpiff (talk) 20:41, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Not notable, likely conflict of interest. -Quartermaster (talk) 21:11, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree that the coverage elsewhere is sufficient, and it's not like the controversy is up there with any of a number of fundraising scandals I've seen.Tyrenon (talk) 23:09, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - Article on a non-notable charity that may have been created by its chairman. It is hard to see that a misadventure involving fund-raising would the single most important thing about this organization. To show the importance of this group, I'd like to see reliable sources on the impact of its activities as a charity. There don't seem to be any. Anything important about the fundraising scandal is already at Gregory R. Ball. EdJohnston (talk) 15:03, 26 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete or redirect to Gregory R. Ball. Aside from the obvious COI issues (see here), this is not a notable enough charity organization to warrant its own article, the media coverage of it is mostly in regards to the scandal, not with regards to the actual charity itself.

 * Merge with Gregory R. Ball where appropriate; the incident has already been described there, but it's worth checking to see if anything worth including here is not in that article. I agree with others who doubt the single controversy elevates the entire charity -- it's kind of the non-profit equivalent of WP:BLP1E, if that makes any sense. Also, there are obviously WP:COI issues with this and that section of the Ball article, which should be considered in the process. WWB (talk) 04:29, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - only things of value here can be merged into Gregory R. Ball and Andrea Rogers (if the last passes its AfD, as it appears it will). -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  13:27, 27 May 2009 (UTC)
