As for as notability is concerned, let me refer to the page User talk:Rupalisharma and produce the scrutiny details before acceptance:
 * Strong delete--Typical promotional spam.Even after a complete cleanup, nothing mentioned in the article seems to vouch for the notability of the article.The speedy was more than good. Winged Blades Godric 18:11, 15 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Delete I tried to clean the lede up a bit so it read better, but after looking at some of the sources, many of which are dead links, there's no indication of this organization's notability. Unless the sourcing can be improved, this article is most likely going to be deleted.  If that happens, you can try to fix it up and resubmit here Articles_for_creation. Notify me on my talk page and if the sourcing is better, I'll help with the grammar and general cleanup when you resubmit. Timtempleton (talk) 01:24, 24 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Request for retention and removal of deletion tag-- Godric has commented the article to be a promotional spam. When we write about any entity, you are narrating the fact regarding constitution, location, services, focus area, awards, references etc. These are statement of facts about the entity. This is true for any entity. Even if you look at Microsoft page or any other say Aga Khan Foundation. you can call the description as the statement of fact or promotional. Only mention about non-existent entity may be called spam.

AfC submission World Development Foundation
Dear APerson, I thank you for your comments on the talk page. This is the third time I have failed to bring the articles to the level to satisfy the criteria of wikipedia. The organization is doing lot of innovative jobs to help the farming community in India which is really very poor and starvation death has taken in many places. WDF is trying to harness the benefit of ICT and mass media to educate this section of the society. It has been pioneer in using community radio to reach them apart from using video films, live shows, video conferencing etc. It implemented two big projects in association of Govt. of India.It has been working as a partner with Media Lab Asia, Govt of India, TCIL (Govt of India) and has been closely assocated with UNESCO / Govt of India etc in deciding the norms and use of Community Radio for underpriveledged. I have given some very reliable references such as coverage by The Telegraph (Calcutta) India, Oneindia.in News, Confederation of Indian Industry, IBNLive / PTI Press Trust of India, etc. Pl help me in addressing the issue and advise me a bit. Regards. Rupalisharma (talk) 09:52, 13 August 2013 (UTC) 13/08/13 Those four sources you name give the subject somewhat tangential mentions. Feel free to re-submit it once you can demonstrate, using citations from independent (i.e. not from the website of the subject), reliable sources, that the WDF has had a significant impact. Not to say that it has not had an impact, but you probably need to prove it using sources. APerson (talk!) 18:31, 14 August 2013 (UTC)

Dear APerson,

Thanks for your valuable advice.

World Development Foundation has been recognised as partner to Government of India with details of sector/ key issues being handled by it and the operational areas (region/ districts) of the country. Pl. see the links below: http://ngo.india.gov.in/view_ngo_details.php?ngo_id=worlddevelopment This is Govt of India site. I also give the news item by Press Trust of India / IBNLive CNN-IBN about the MOU signed by World Development Foundation and Bihar agricultural University under Rashtriya Krishi Vikas Yojana (State Plan Scheme of Additional Central Assistance). The link is given below: http://ibnlive.in.com/generalnewsfeed/news/bau-and-wdf-sign-mou-for-agriculture-project-in-bihar/688534.html The scheme is already implemented. I give the link below of the University. http://bausabour.ac.in/index.php/site/college/bac7

I hope these references shall provide the notability as required. Pl. advice and help.

 * Thank you for improving the article! In general, the more independent, reliable sources you can add to the article, the better it will be and the more likely it will be created. APerson (talk!) 21:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC)

Dear APerson, I am grateful for your kind attention and quick advice. In fact after having read on your site that you are on vacation, I was not expecting such a quick reply.

I have made the necessary changes as mentioned in my previous references. I shall be very grateful if you advice me if I may resubmit it.

Warm regards, Rupalisharma (talk) 11:58, 2 September 2013 (UTC)

The article was accepted after 24 references were provided for a small article of 14 lines. I have greatest regards to all the writers, reviewers and administrators of Wikipedia. They are eminent people.

There should be a consistent policy for acceptance and retention of the articles. The article having gone through the review for several months by several editors and accepted should not be reviewed again and again. I request you to remove the deletion tag for consistence of the policy of Wikipedia for acceptance and retention and also to save the efforts of editors. Regards to all the editors and reviewers.
