 * 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 keep‎__EXPECTED_UNCONNECTED_PAGE__. This is more of a procedural Keep because after going to a lot of trouble editing this article and putting together a source table, the nominator twice said they wanted to Keep this article.

Please do not start an AFD discussion unless you are seeking to delete an article. It's not an appropriate vehicle to encourage other editors to find new sources for you. Liz Read! Talk! 22:23, 6 January 2024 (UTC)

World Jewish Relief

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

I've been editing this page for a couple of days mostly removing excessive external links to the organisation's website, boldly removing unsourced or improperly sourced content, verifying what I can and tagging what I can't verify. Then, I tried to improve the page by incorporating some secondary and tertiary sources but I've drawn a blank. I am confident that at this point I have explored WP:ATD but after putting together the source assessment table below it's become clear to me that there isn't actually enough significant coverage in independent secondary sources to form an objective overview of this British charity. I contemplated doing prod but doing so would have sent other editors on a wild goose chase for reliable secondary sources which I don't want to do. So I've arrived at the conclusion that AfD is the only way forward.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 16:13, 23 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Keep While the subject's current iteration fails WP:CORPDEPTH there's probably been enough written about this organisation's earlier iterations in pre-Internet sources to rescue this article and turn it into a C-Class article.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 09:24, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Delete: per source assessment table and WP:TNT, given it was tagged for conflict of interest for over a year.बिनोद थारू (talk) 05:32, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * CommentHi बिनोद थारू thanks for your contribution. Your WP:TNT idea is viable. However, WP:AFD discussions are to determine whether there is enough coverage, independent of the subject to create a coherent encyclopaedia entry about the subject. Anything else is off-piste. Therefore, I have struck through the last part of your contribution because it isn't relevant to this discussion. Thanks for understanding.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 07:25, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Update I've struck through बिनोद थारू's entire contribution because it doesn't address the WP:NCORP issue that we're here to discuss.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 08:11, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment If बिनोद थारू doesn't wish to strike out the parts of their comment that aren't relevant to this discussion then would they please expand their comment a little bit? We're trying to determine whether there's enough coverage of this subject in independent reliable sources to justify retaining this article. I struck through your comment to elicit a more detailed response from you and I am interested in hearing your thoughts on this matter.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 16:04, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * As shown in the source table above, none of the sourcing used to build this article is WP:INDEPENDENT, prompting a WP:TNT delete. Also, I struggle to find significant coverage on Google that meets WP:ORGCRIT and WP:CORPDEPTH. बिनोद थारू (talk) 16:08, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * I just wanted to check to see if you are aware that I created the source evaluation table above when I took this article to WP:AFD? Hence why I am encouraging you to base your comments on your research, not mine.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 16:49, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Comment So you want to WP:SNOWCLOSE this discussion and start the page over again per Blow it up and start over?𝔓420°𝔓Holla 16:46, 30 December 2023 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by GDX420 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 30 December 2023 (UTC)

 * Comment Why?𝔓420°𝔓Holla 17:02, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 *  Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.


 * Neutral I will admit that independent sources about this subject are hard to come by by simply Googling the subject. However, I find it hard to believe that this orgnisation previously known as Central British Fund for German Jewry has no significant coverage. We're talking about an organisation that played a significant part in helping (and I'm choosing my words wisely) establish the state of Israel and save the lives of hundreds if not thousands of children before and during World War Two many of whom became notable people and made notable contributions in their own right. Now it may be that World Jewish Releif is the wrong namespace and perhaps Central British Fund for German Jewry might be a better location for this entry. I just find it hard to believe that an organisation with so much historical significance hasn't had anything written about it by any historians.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 17:50, 30 December 2023 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep I'm sure we can find pre-internet sources. No Swan So Fine (talk) 22:41, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Strong KeepI agree. I'll go to the library and see if I can find something a bit more independent than the Gottlieb book and thanks for your help here No Swan So Fine. I wonder if a WP:SNOWCLOSE is possible now? I feel there's a consensus in the air.𝔓420°𝔓Holla 06:24, 2 January 2024 (UTC)
