This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Business. It is one of many
deletion lists coordinated by
WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
Adding a new AfD discussion
Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at
WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at
WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Business|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
Note that there are a few
scripts and tools that can make this easier.
Removing a closed AfD discussion
Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by
a bot.
Other types of discussions
You can also add and remove links to other discussions (
prod,
CfD,
TfD etc.) related to Business.

Does not meet
WP:CORP, at least in my opinion. There is no significant coverage from a reliable source, the Fortune article cited is simply a serialized list. A cursory Google search for alternative sources didn't turn up much, as they were acquired by Workday.

Merge to
Workday, Inc. All independent available coverage that I can find is in the vein of acquisitions and thus not qualifying under
WP:ORGCRIT (
[1],
[2],
[3]). Other available coverage appears to be sponcon or otherwise not independent.

I would also second
Dclemens1971's opinion to merge for the same reason.

Delete I'm glad to hear your acknowledgment of GVS as a dubious source. I fully agree that this promotional page should be removed, as it clearly fails to meet WP:N. --—

I did not acknowledge no such thing (I said mostly dubious), even if GVS is a valid source, it still does not meet notability criteria.

Reviewed during NPP. No evidence of wp:notability under GNG or SNG. A boxing gym business. Zero references on the gym/business. All of them are about events related to boxers. North8000 (

Redirect to Isaac Peach. There's a lack of coverage about the gym itself. The three New Zealand boxing gym of the year awards were given by a blogger, so it shows no significance to me. It seems like Isaac Peach is the most significant part of the gym and much of the two articles seem to overlap about fighters he has trained. It's possible that the individual article may not be WP notable either, but that's a discussion for another time.

Redirect to Isaac Peach. I wrote this article because of the
Boxing Alley. But yeah you both make a point. --

Per @
Ltbdl stance. It lacks notability and it is not yet ready for inclusion on Wikimedia. Let's give it a year and see.

Delete. Lacks reliable secondary sources and it does not even meet notability guidelines per
WP:GNG. It doesn't fit for an article.

Nominating this article for deletion because it does not meet the notability guidelines. No reliable sources are referenced or can be found online.
Alexwiki0496 (
talk) 13:11, 19 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Delete. Subject spectacularly fails
WP:GNG despite the effort to
inundate the text with pseudo-sources. The fact that the text has been created, curated, and posted up by a
kamikaze account, the same one that provided the (perhaps, self-) portrait, is typically a warning sign. A pachyderm from the land of
Prom. -

The article is a stub article that doesn't explain it's notability. As it stands, it appears to qualify for AfD.

This article should not be deleted. It provides comprehensive information about a nonprofit organization seeking to do good work.
Remma2 (
talk) 18:38, 16 April 2024 (UTC)reply
Please be mindful of
WP:USEFUL - just because you believe it provides comprehensive information without explaining why is not a valid Afd argument. If you want the article to be kept, you can demonstrate whether or not it passes notability by showing multiple independent, reliable sources, which the article in its current form does not have.

Weak keep So far the references are all short announcements of events, plus some mentions in articles about other topics. I think this establishes the "newsworthy-ness" of the organization but only barely meets GNG. I looked for, but did not find, an indepth source about the organization. That is still needed.

Keep and improve - This is an exchange program through the US State Department. Granted, the article needs work, and needs better sourcing. But this is a very impressive program. It would be a shame to write this off.

Note - Do Not Delete - Work in Progress: This was inadvertently and prematurely deleted yesterday for copyright errors. I am currently reworking this article in my personal user space, to avoid misunderstandings over sourcing, etc. This is an important article that needs work. Please have patience, and I'll get the article in better shape.

I am surprised to see you say that I "inadvertently and prematurely deleted" copyright content from Wikipedia. There's no such thing as "prematurely" removing copyright content from Wikipedia. We can't host copyright content on Wikipedia, not even temporarily for editing. And we can't include it in sandboxes or drafts either. —

Keep Though the article could benefit from a through revision, the subject itself is notable enough.

For what it's worth, I just did an edit update of this article. The lead is now more informative about how this program originated, complete with sources. And I've done a sample list of US and foreign universities which act as hosts.

Delete. I just went through and reviewed the edits made by Maile. Not a single source supports notability under WP:GNG or WP:ORGCRIT. All sources are primary sources (e.g. the authorizing legislation), or they are not independent (State Department webpages or the webpages of Humphrey Fellowship sponsoring institutions), or the coverage is trivial (single references to someone in the article being a Humphrey Fellow). The MPR News source fails verification. My BEFORE search turns up nothing else useful for establishing notability. (One potential source is
here, but it is published by a Humphrey Fellowship sponsor institution and I don't have access to the actual text to validate whether it is independent.) Failing the unearthing of significant coverage in multiple, independent, secondary sources, this doesn't clear the bar.

Delete. All the available coverage falls well within
WP:ORGTRIV. I was not able to find anything more substantial.
