World peace flame

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Neither the article itself nor anything else that I can find gives any evidence that this subject satisfies Wikipedia's notability guidelines.

The references in the "references" section are as follows. (1) A link to www.worldpeaceflame.org, which is clearly not an independent source. (2) A dead link. (3) A report about a man who committed suicide after contact with a cult called "the Life Foundation". The article is not substantially about the "World peace flame". It does briefly mention a flame, not referred to as "the World peace flame", which it said had been burning for 28 years at the time of the article (19 November 2006) meaning that the flame in question had been burning since 1978, whereas the article says that the World peace flame has been burning since July 1999. It is therefore unclear that it is the same flame, but even if it is, the report does not constitute substantial coverage.

In addition to those references listed in the "references" section, there are ten inline external links. These are all about the organisation behind the flame, not the flame itself: only two of them even mention the flame, and those two don't give it substantial coverage. Three of them are links to Wikipedia pages.

(Note: A PROD was removed without any explanation by an IP editor all of whose recent edits have been on the topic of the organisation responsible for this "flame".) JamesBWatson (talk) 11:15, 16 April 2013 (UTC)
