Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/World Health Organization Secretariat


 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was Draftify. While there is no consensus as to a merger target, and it does not appear CutePeach returned to address the issues she raised to weeks ago, there isn't support for the article remaining in mainspace. I will draftify it upon close and suggest it probably go through AfC before coming back, if it isn't merged elswhere. Star  Mississippi  02:35, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

World Health Organization Secretariat

 * – ( View AfD View log | edits since nomination)

Only primary sourcing. An attempt was made to move this back to draft space. See the subsequent edit summary " moved page Draft:World Health Organization Secretariat to World Health Organization Secretariat without leaving a redirect: objected to, so move back to mainspace - despite it being in terrible shape and poorly sourced"

The sources are all primary

To me this suggests that we need to have a discussion about whether this should be a freestanding article, or be merged, or redirected, or simply deleted. My suggestion is to redirect and merge to World Health Organization Fiddle Timtrent  Faddle Talk to me 13:18, 11 February 2022 (UTC)

 * Merge with Director-General of the World Health Organization: given that the head of this body is the Director-General. A brief mention of this body's existence on the parent article should suffice as well. – robertsky (talk) 17:17, 11 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , the Secretariat is composed of the Director General, but it is still distinct from it as an organizational body, just like the United Nations Secretariat is distinct from the Secretary-General of the United Nations. There are significant political tensions between the DG in Geneva and regional secretariat offices, going back many years, which is covered in RS. I added some secondary sources, and I am also working on creating WHO Executive Board, WHO constitution, IHR Emergency Committee for COVID-19 and many more WHO related pages that may seem obscure on first look. CutePeach (talk) 13:02, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , hmm.. the suborganisations do seems obscure, especially with the current pandemic climate where news outlets generalise most of the statements coming out from the various WHO bodies as WHO (thus Google/Google News searches, at least for me, returned WHO when I searched for WHO Secretariat). I think I know where you are coming from, and as long as the article is expanded and supported with sources adequately before the AfD is up, I will support the article to be kept.Additionally, due to the relative obscurity of the the suborganisations, I suggest creating and fleshing out the articles in your sandbox first before pushing them into the mainspace. – robertsky (talk) 16:44, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 * , I am working on this. Will put it up tomorrow. Please wait. CutePeach (talk) 14:41, 16 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I will finish this tomorrow Saturday. CutePeach (talk) 14:38, 18 February 2022 (UTC)

Relisting comment: While drafting is an option, CutePeach has asked for more time on a reasonable timeline (tomorrow), so let's see what evolves as far as content and consensus with a relist. Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, Star   Mississippi  02:18, 19 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Keep. I recently asked for the draft to be moved back to mainspace after it was moved to draftspace. Did the nominator check if other sources existed in books and academic sources as per WP:CONRED? I dont see here any arguments that challenge its WP:NOTABILITY. I have added a few secondary sources and I will add more soon. CutePeach (talk) 13:04, 12 February 2022 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
