The Triple Helix

 * – ( View AfD View log )

Non-notable non-governmental organization. Does not satisfy Notability because it has not received "significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject." (The reference to OnlineCollege.org is not a reliable source.) Does not satisfy WP:ORG, either.

In terms of content, this article is seriously messed up. I read it twice and I have no idea what this organization does: publishes journals, has supposed chapters, and "bridge[s] the archaic divide between ... various fields of study." It was clearly written by someone from the organization as a puff piece. GrapedApe (talk) 15:18, 18 December 2011 (UTC)


 * Delete. If kept, the page would indeed need a rewrite to make it less promotional, more encyclopedic, but it's certainly reparable. The problem is notability: aside from the one not-so-useful, non-primary link mentioned by the nominator, there seems to be no secondary coverage to be found in web searches, just primary sources and false positives. If substantial, independent coverage from WP:RS sources can be found, I would be happy to look again. --Hobbes Goodyear (talk) 16:56, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete as having no coverage in reliable sources to establish notability, and also as spam. -- Whpq (talk) 17:46, 21 December 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete as failing wp:gng and wp:org due to lack of sources that establish notability. Chris the Paleontologist  (talk &#124; contribs) 20:01, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
