No third party sources (all references are from worldgastroenterology.org). Major portion of the text is a copy-paste from World Gastroenterology Organisation. --Unpopular Opinion (talk · contribs) 10:58, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * While this article is similar to the World Gastroenterology Organisation we are of the same organization however a seperate organization. Naturally there will be some similarities.  The World Gastroenterology Organisation article contains no third party references yet has not been deleted either.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlambert.m (talk • contribs) 11:32, 19 November 2008 (UTC)

 * Merge and Redirect to World Gastroenterology Organisation. Not independently notable, does not exist for any purpose other than to support and raise funds for the above organization, therefore does not need a stand-alone article.  This is essentially part of WGO so having a separate article about the foundation is not necessary and should be eliminated.  Theseeker4 (talk) 16:26, 19 November 2008 (UTC)
 * Merge with WGO. The existence of a legal distinction between two closely intertwined organizations does not entitle them to two separate articles.  WhatamIdoing (talk) 19:16, 19 November 2008 (UTC)


 * Done I have merged the foundation article into the other one and placed a redirect from the foundations article to its section of the organisations article. Issue closed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jlambert.m (talk • contribs) 14:24, 20 November 2008 (UTC)
