The Student Fund

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No verification; no evidence of notability. Searching is difficult because the name is so generic and the article provides nothing to use as a disambiguator. But I did search, and I could not find anything relevant except social media. PROD was removed without comment by an IP. That IP also deleted the only three links provided in the article: a website, TheStudentFund.org, which does not exist; and a Twitter account and Facebook page, both of which say "coming soon." So it's possible the Fund does not even exist, or does not exist yet. If that's the case this article approaches being a hoax, because of its claims to have branches at 21 universities in North America, Europe, and Australia. MelanieN (talk) 17:36, 3 October 2014 (UTC)

Delete: This organization is so new that it is highly unlikely to have any level of significant coverage (I did do a search of "The Student Fund" Saint Andrews, as that appears to be the university where it was founded, with no results). The Facebook page says this fund was established 1 September 2014 and the very first tweet from this fund says it is "Officially launching in 2015". Thus, this topic appears to be WP:TOOSOON and doesn't meet WP:GNG as of right now. This link may also provide some context. Altamel (talk) 01:09, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
