World School Council

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Not finding anything supporting the existence of this organization. Even the official URL goes to a newly created, essentially blank website. At best it's an attempt to promote a new social organization, at worst it's a hoax. Either way, it doesn't meet notability requirements. RadioFan (talk) 21:18, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - C'mon. I can hardly find evidence that this organization even exists, let alone is notable. Open-close case, I would say. ~ Wakanda's Black Panther! &spades; / &diams; 21:28, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete - a search found nothing. Whether it's a hoax or just so new that it hasn't even got its website up yet, it can't possibly achieve verifiability from independent reliable sources. JohnCD (talk) 21:36, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete as above comments. Quantpole (talk) 21:41, 26 April 2009 (UTC)
 * I notice that the website now has something there. However, this changes nothing about the organisation being notable, so my vote is unchanged. Quantpole (talk) 11:10, 28 April 2009 (UTC)

 * Comment I see that the web site at the external link now has content. I doubt this is a hoax and it now looks like the founders included "create Wikipedia page" in their launch plans for their new organization.  As laudable as the purposes of this organization may be, it's still lacks the coverage in 3rd party sources required and should be deleted as a result.  Perhaps once the organization does something and is recognized, the article can be recreated.  For now, Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a promotional vehicle.--RadioFan (talk) 12:18, 27 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Comment - I understand that Wikipedia is not a "promotional vehicle", whatever that is supposed to mean. This page has been created to state facts about the World School Council, which is what an encyclopedia is for - you can view more information about what the World School Council has done and plans to do via the website - the page will be edited to include this information soon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Wattie92 (talk • contribs) 13:53, 27 April 2009
 * "Not a promotional vehicle" means that Wikipedia is not here for people to write about their own brand-new organisation with a view to helping it become famous. It has to be established and well-known, so that people independent of it have thought it important enough to write about, before it gets a Wikipedia article. More information on your talk page.
