The John Gardner Fellowship Program

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article on a scholarship program with no clear indication of notability. Having 3 notable fellows out of about 100 is not notability. I do not think that a article of this sort, without a single external source, should have been accepted from AfC, but it was 2 years ago and I hope standards are better now. I note the large number of routine tinkering and minor fixes over the subsequent two years--yet nobody seems to have noticed the more fundamental problem.  DGG ( talk ) 02:50, 7 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Merge to John W. Gardner. Not independently notable. Material from the Stanford and UC Berkeley websites can't establish notability but can be used as sources for non-controversial material in that article; also there are passing refs in other articles/books. --Colapeninsula (talk) 13:45, 9 October 2013 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
