United Nations Human Rights Educational Project

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Likely hoax. I'm unable to find any reliable verification for the existence of the United Nations Human Rights Educational Project or for a person named Igor Doubenko having anything to do with the UN. The relevant UN program appears to actually be this, which has nothing that I can tell to do with the a project that may or may not exist called "United Nations Human Rights Educational Project". I'm AfDing this instead of CSDing just in case the sources are out there and I just can't find them. A fluffernutter is a sandwich! (talk) 21:10, 12 April 2012 (UTC)

1.	I’m the only person who knows for sure what piece of data on myself is true and which is not; 2.	If you have doubts that Her Majesty ever wrote to me, just write a letter (yes, under your real name) to her Office and ask them to confirm; 3.	If you have doubts that Mr. Annan ever wrote to me, just write a letter (yes, under your real name) either to his speaker, Mr. Ahmad Fawzi or Kofi Annan Foundation and ask them to confirm; 4.	If you have doubts that UNHREP exists, just write a letter (yes, under your real name) either to Mr. Ban, the UN Secretary General, or to Navanethem Pillay, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and ask to confirm. Thank you. Igor Doubenko, Executive Director, UNHREP--GLobal Igor Doubenko —Preceding undated comment added 16:10, 14 April 2012 (UTC).
 * Delete Very strange. No google hits on un.org.  I'm guessing based on the search results that this is an obscure New Zealand program.  Even though they have a flag they don't seem notable.  Obviously the flag could be created in 2 minutes in MS Paint, but it's still a nice touch.  The cynic in me says somebody invented this to puff up his/her CV, in which case I will certainly give them a job. --Colapeninsula (talk) 09:19, 13 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Symbol comment vote.svg Comment It may be also worth checking out the Sérgio Vieira de Mello page since it mentions this "UNHREP as well, and appears to be sourced. However, since I could not find the relevant flag anywhere else, may possibly be a hoax.--New questions? 07:36, 14 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Please Delete ASAP. This “Deletion Discussion” is both superficial and pointless. Here’s why:
 * Comment. I am very skeptical that this organization exists at all. The only source we have is a brief mention in a left-wing blog out of Brazil. If this were an actual organizaton within the United Nations, surely we would have some more reliable reference. The flag image could easily be created in Photoshop or any other graphics program. Please prove me wrong. •••Life of Riley (T–C) 22:57, 14 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Regardless of whether this project actually exists or not, the fact remains that we have no coverage in independent reliable sources to establisn notability, but more importantly, we have no sources to satisfy verifiability. Even searching the UN site does not turn up any primary sources.  I found this article profiling Igor Doubenko but it is a passing mention and being part of an interview, I'm not sure that the interviewer fact checked this assertion. -- Whpq (talk) 15:11, 16 April 2012 (UTC)


 * Merge to United Nations, per WP:ORG. I found, which probably isn't considered a reliable source and isn't enough on its own anyway. I found no mention of the organisation in obituaries of Sérgio Vieira de Mello but we should assume good faith and can add citation needed tags as required. -- Trevj (talk) 14:15, 20 April 2012 (UTC) PS I found some references to the differently worded . -- Trevj (talk) 14:17, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment - I'm going to object to a merge. The material we have here fails verifiability.  Nobody has been able to find any reliable sources for verification.  The local newspaper interview is a bit dubious, and the midiaindependente.org site publishes submitted pieces without the editorial oversight we would need to say they are a reliable source. -- Whpq (talk) 14:41, 20 April 2012 (UTC)
