The Jacaranda Foundation

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

Non-notable organization; article is loaded with self-promoting puffery mhking (talk) 14:06, 10 August 2009 (UTC)

This organization is notable and I myself am not part of this organization so this article does not have the purpose of self-promotion. If one is studying the effects of AIDS in Malawi and the millions of orphans this rampant desease is causing, they will also need to know what is being done to combat this problem. The Jacaranda Foundation is trying to give these kids a future. This article's purpose is to inform people about what is being done and in what way these sorts of problems can be solved, and is not for promotional purposes, solely for informative purposes.

 * Comment: Unfortunately, this is promotional; that is, promoting "what is being done and in what way these sorts of problems can be solved". Therefore, this intent is not of a purely encyclopedic nature, and falls under Wikipedia's definiton of promotional. - CobaltBlueTony™ talk 15:20, 10 August 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep - This article needs a lot of improvement but the foundation has been mentioned on CNNs heroes segment (on November 30, 2008) and has been mentioned in Ivanhoe Broadcast News. Seems to meet notability to me. PanydThe muffin is not subtle 19:51, 10 August 2009 (UTC) I don't have the video of the CNN segment but I do have the transcript if anyone would like it.
