The result was merge to List of minor secular observances. Very briefly. I'm discounting the unsigned IP comment.  Sandstein  20:22, 8 November 2021 (UTC)

World NGO Day

 * – ( View AfD View log )

This is not a notable subject. There is no coverage of this day in actual reliable sources. The sources are all just meaningless press releases and other non-RS. It's one of a trillion meaningless days and commemorations that governments and organizations have issued press releases recognizing. The article was created and heavily edited by abusive accounts working for PR agencies. Wikipedia shouldn't let itself be abused in this manner. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 15:02, 16 October 2021 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Reluctant Keep. I agree that it's one of a trillion meaningless days and commemorations, but there's enough coverage (and enough other articles on similarly meaningless days) so I can't support deletion.  Merging to some list of meaningless days (and purging the blatant PR content) would be fine, though. User:力 (power~enwiki,  π,  ν ) 02:02, 17 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Delete or Merge - Once you remove the primary sourcing, UGC (YouTube videos), there may not be enough to establish notability. Hence, it may be worth merging it with List of minor secular observances--WomenProj (talk) 17:07, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Keep. I agree with User:力 there are so many awareness days around the world but this day is dedicated to NGO sector and has enough coverage, including European Commission and other government statements on World NGO Day. There are also so many coverage in other languages and it is alright to have a short article in English about this day. You can't ignore this international day that has history, go and check EEAS office (website) who issues regular statements on World NGO Day since 2014. Would you like to object international organisation official statments. It seems that some Wikipedia users are suggesting delegation of this article by intentionally suggesting remove sources etc, based on their poor research or other political or personal reasons. In that case we should delete 50% of wikipedia articles if go that way. 21:13, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * This user has not made any edits to Wikipedia before suddenly appearing here to advocating to Keep this article. This is likely a WP:COI account, judging by the history of this page. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 18:35, 24 October 2021 (UTC)

 * Delete (or redirect to Non-governmental organization). Mostly sourced to primary sources, such as random NGOs themselves. I don't see significant, in-depth coverage in independent sources. Neutralitytalk 19:04, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
 * Merge as a one-line listing in List of minor secular observances. Like most "awareness days" of limited recognition, this has no sign of significant coverage in independent, reliable sources but it is a plausible search term. Eggishorn  (talk) (contrib) 13:46, 8 November 2021 (UTC)
