This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Organizations and social programs. 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:

1. 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.
2. You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Organizations|~~~~}} 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.

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 other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Organizations and social programs. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.

Further information

For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

Suggested inclusion guidelines for this topic area can be found at WP:ORG.

Repeatedly recreated over the redirect, but as per the last AFD, this team isn't notable enough for a separate article, even though the page has been updated some more. I propose restore the redirect and WP:SALT it. Joseph2302 (talk) 08:29, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

There is no assertion of notability and while I do not read Russian, Google Translate accesses it with some ease and I'm unable to find N:ORG level coverage. I do not think a redirect to or merge with Gymnazium Union of Russia is viable as I'm not sure that would survive AfD either although the name makes a BEFORE more challenging.

• Delete - without seeing significant third party reliable sources that show that the inclusion criteria have been met, I can't see how we can tell how important/significant this is.

• Note: This discussion has been included in the list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions. UzbukUdash (talk) 11:47, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  This list is not about academics or educators.

  The intention is that it pulls together an up to date and easy to navigate list of national academies such as those listed (poorly) on National Academy. With the intention that this list could be removed from National Academy once this list has been created.

  If you're really unhappy. Can we at least move it to draft space so that I can add the other national academies? TheResilientEngineer (talk) 12:16, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  It should also pull together those listed on the academy of sciences page as well. Again cleaning up both of these pages and creating a single listed resource which both pages can link to. TheResilientEngineer (talk) 12:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Organizations, Education, and Lists. Skynxnex (talk) 14:08, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Merge to National academy and Academy of sciences or draftify. I think this should be worked on in the main articles and split later when appropriate. I agree with cleaning them up but right now it's just duplicative and making this separate page first doesn't do that. Reywas92^Talk 15:09, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Redirect to national academy, an existing and far more complete article that provides a similar listing. Incidentally, I removed the listing of this AfD from "list of Academics and educators-related deletion discussions" because that deletion sorting list is for biographies of professors. The nominated article is not a biography of a professor. —David Eppstein (talk) 17:59, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
• Comment I don't currently have a strong opinion on merge, redirect, or draftify. There's also the National Academies category [1] to help in the goals here. Regardless of the outcome, I would also really appreciate this information being listed together somewhere as TheResilientEngineer added. I am currently working on updating scientists elected to the American NAS, but in the long term and I hope to move onto other academies after this. Cyanochic (talk) 18:16, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  I'm currently working on engineer bios @Cyanochic which is why I started this list as the list in its current form in national academy is not good enough. TheResilientEngineer (talk) 11:06, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Question Does this list actually just belong on the national academy page then? I can go and edit that one so that it is actually useful and well formatted if that is the preference. However, I was sure I read somewhere about there being a preference for lists being separate pages, hence why I created a new page. Let me know and I can go from there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by TheResilientEngineer (talk • contribs) 11:10, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  From the above comments, I believe that consensus says to Merge or Redirect (mentioned both as it is not closed yet), because the current article is not complete, and is also not cleaned up. After expansion on main article, it can be split. Bunnypranav (talk) 16:04, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Merge to National academy. Not redirect, because the table like format with Founding year and Specialism will be nice to have there, if proper sources and description is provided. Bunnypranav (talk) 16:00, 26 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Most of the information has been deleted from the page.

The information deleted was a description of this organisation. Why?

https://centenaryaction.org.uk/ Kps2015 (talk) 21:15, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Nothing in your explanation is a reason for deleting the article according to the guidelines. Kps2015 (talk) 21:19, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kps2015 Notability isn't inherited; this is both a deletion argument to avoid and referenced in the biographical notability standards. The spirit of this guideline quite likely applies to companies people own. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 21:45, 22 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thanks for your response (although I don't fully understand it!).

The problems with this page arise from the fact that fuller information about this organisation has been deleted (on grounds of copyright). The solution is to restore the full information about this organisation, not to delete the page. I will endeavour to sort this out. Kps2015 (talk) 08:50, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kps2015 I really doubt that restoring the information will help with keeping the article. It's probably best to find sources that talk about centenary action without centering Pankhurst. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 11:17, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That page doesn't "centre Pankhurst" it makes one mention of her. That is not a valid reason for deleting the page. Kps2015 (talk) 14:07, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Notability isn't inherited" - I think what you are saying that it isn't of interest that the grand-daughter of those who campaigned for women's suffrage is campaigning in this area today. I would have thought that is arguable. Either way, how is that a reason for deleting an entire page about a major campaigning organisation, rather than simply amending it? Kps2015 (talk) 11:18, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Kps2015 You misundertand. I'm saying that it appears that Centenary Action is inheriting notability from that great-grandaughter, which I interpret to be something in violation of an invalid way to get notability. Please read the link I gave you. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 11:49, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@I dream of horses - if you look at the organisations which are members you will see that this is a serious lobbying organisation. Your personal feelings about the founder aren't a reason to delete a Wikipedia page. Kps2015 (talk) 14:15, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Draftify to allow work on improving sourcing. PamD 13:01, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @PamD I'm open to this. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 13:27, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Hi @PamD. I think that you can see that this is a serious organisation with a good cause. If you can suggest any improvements, that would be welcome. If you would like me to supply any further information, do let me know. Kps2015 (talk) 14:19, 23 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kps2015 The truth of the matter is, there are many, many serious organizations that have good causes that either don't have Wikipedia articles, or have surprisingly short ones. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 01:36, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  This is not a reason to delete a page. Please state on what grounds you believe that the page should be deleted. Kps2015 (talk) 08:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kps2015 I've already explained my concerns over notability on this very page. I don't need to explain them again. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 17:11, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  Thanks for your response.

  Your objection makes reference to a company. There is no company and no ownership. This is simply a campaign organisation to increase the representation of women in the UK parliament.

  Please either provide a reason for deleting this page that falls within the guidelines for deleting a page or remove your objection. Kps2015 (talk) 10:56, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  @Kps2015 My objection in my first reply here to is within guidelines. I dream of horses (Hoofprints) (Neigh at me) 15:02, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

  1. Luo, Yuyue 罗嵛月 (2015-04-15). "良友食用油曾经是上海老大，如今却输给金龙鱼" [Liangyou's edible oil was once the leader in Shanghai, but now it has lost to Golden Dragon Fish]. China Business News [zh] (in Chinese). Retrieved 2024-10-26 – via China Business Network.

     This article has a lot of negative coverage about Liangyou's business failures and also covers the company's history. The article notes: "据《第一财经日报》记者多方了解，这家2011年总资产已达154亿元、全年销售收入165亿元的老牌国企，这几年却不尽如人意。食用油是良友的主营业务之一，良友集团原领导曾有“海狮兴，则良友兴”的论断，一位资深业内人士如此告诉本报记者。现实非常残酷，上海作为良友的总部，占尽“主场”便利，良友不仅输给了跨国粮油品牌金龙鱼，在央企品牌福临门和台湾品牌多力冲击下，良友也应对乏力，市场份额下滑。"

     From Google Translate: "According to the reporter of China Business News, this old state-owned enterprise, which had total assets of 15.4 billion yuan in 2011 and annual sales revenue of 16.5 billion yuan, has not been satisfactory in recent years. Edible oil is one of Liangyou's main businesses. The former leader of Liangyou Group once said that "if Sea Lion prospers, Liangyou will prosper", a senior industry insider told our reporter. The reality is very cruel. As the headquarters of Liangyou, Shanghai has the convenience of "home court". Liangyou not only lost to the multinational grain and oil brand Golden Dragon Fish, but also failed to cope with the impact of the central enterprise brand Fortune and the Taiwanese brand Duoli, and its market share declined."

     The article notes: "市场人士分析，良友食用油售价低，是因为作为国企，担负了上海市平抑物价的责任，企业品牌投入资金相对较少。这导致良友在市场竞争中非常不利。"

     From Google Translate: "Market analysts analyzed that the low price of Liangyou cooking oil is because, as a state-owned enterprise, it bears the responsibility of stabilizing prices in Shanghai, and the company's brand investment is relatively small. This puts Liangyou at a great disadvantage in market competition."

     The article notes: "公司建于 1998 年 10 月,目前已开业 100 家“良友便利”连锁店。未来发展目标是三年内建成 300 家连锁便利店。上海良友集团是根据国务院《关于进一步深化粮食流通体制改革的决定》精神,经中共上海市委、市人民政府批准,以国有骨干粮食企业为主体,于 1998 年 8 月 8日成立。上海良友(集团)有限公司是上海良友集团的核心企业,注册资金 17 亿元人民币。主要经营:粮油批发、加工,资产经营,实业投资,房地产开发经营及物业管理,科研开发,咨询服务,国内贸易等。下辖 7 个全资子公司, 2 个控股子公司。上海良友集团承担上海粮食市场流通主渠道任务。"

     From Google Translate: "The company was established in October 1998 and currently has 100 "Liangyou Convenience" chain stores in operation. The future development goal is to build 300 chain convenience stores within three years. Shanghai Liangyou Group was established on August 8, 1998, based on the spirit of the State Council's "Decision on Further Deepening the Reform of the Grain Circulation System", approved by the Shanghai Municipal Committee of the Communist Party of China and the Municipal People's Government, with state-owned backbone grain enterprises as the main body. Shanghai Liangyou (Group) Co., Ltd. is the core enterprise of Shanghai Liangyou Group with a registered capital of RMB 1.7 billion. Main business: grain and oil wholesale, processing, asset management, industrial investment, real estate development and operation and property management, scientific research and development, consulting services, domestic trade, etc. It has 7 wholly-owned subsidiaries and 2 holding subsidiaries. Shanghai Liangyou Group undertakes the main channel task of Shanghai grain market circulation."

     The abstract notes: "1998年,上海良友(集团)有限公司成立,从此粮油企业和职工,真正步人市场竞争的大海;2000年,改革、调整和转型,良友企业焕发出新的生机;2015年,联合重组,打造实力,良友集团风华正茂,昂首阔步。"

     From Google Translate: "In 1998, Shanghai Liangyou (Group) Co., Ltd. was established. Since then, grain and oil enterprises and employees have truly stepped into the sea of ​​market competition; in 2000, reform, adjustment and transformation, Liangyou Enterprises have regained new vitality; in 2015, joint reorganization and strength building, Liangyou Group is in its prime and strides forward."

     The article notes: "上海良友集团是上海从事粮食经营的国有企业集团，承担着政府委托或指定的职能，为保障上海粮食安全和供给稳定服务。其经营领域涵盖粮油加工、仓储物流、便利连锁、粮油贸易、进出口业务、实业投资等。集团下属20家全资、控股子公司和13家参股公司，以及国家级粮油制品检验检测中心和上海市级集团技术中心。经过多年发展，旗下拥有海狮、乐惠、雪雀（福新）、味都、三添、友益等上海市著名商标和上海名牌产品，主要粮油产品上海市场占有率名列前茅。"

     From Google Translate: "Shanghai Liangyou Group is a state-owned enterprise group engaged in grain business in Shanghai. It undertakes the functions entrusted or designated by the government to serve the guarantee of Shanghai's grain security and stable supply. Its business areas cover grain and oil processing, warehousing and logistics, convenience chain, grain and oil trade, import and export business, industrial investment, etc. The group has 20 wholly-owned and holding subsidiaries and 13 joint-stock companies, as well as a national grain and oil product inspection and testing center and a Shanghai-level group technology center. After years of development, it owns Shanghai's famous trademarks and Shanghai famous brand products such as Sea Lion, Lehui, Snow Bird (Fuxin), Weidu, Santian, and Youyi. The market share of its main grain and oil products in Shanghai ranks among the top."

     The article notes: "报道称，承销这批大米的是在中国具有大米专卖权的“良友集团”旗下的“上海良友公司”。"

     From Google Translate: "The report states that the underwriter of this batch of rice is "Shanghai Liangyou Company," which is under the "Liangyou Group," a company that has exclusive rights to sell rice in China."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Shanghai Liangyou Group (simplified Chinese: 上海良友集团有限公司; traditional Chinese: 上海良友集團有限公司) to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

     The article was released under CC BY 3.0 according to page ii. The article notes: "INTERVAC was the inventor of the idea of home swapping and has been discovered and pioneered home swapping practices ever since. The origin of the idea of home swapping can be dated back to 1953, stemming from collaboration between teachers to offer low-cost vacation accommodations among their colleagues around the globe. The development of the home swapping model is mainly driven by demand from the market. After the initial trials, participated teachers found that it is an enjoyable way of travelling and realised that living in each other's homes was great for cultivating international friendships. INTERVAC’s home swapping concepts and services has been growing ever since – not confined to teacher group anymore, but open to all the people that are interested in home swapping. In the beginning, swapping offers were only available in printed version. Offers were printed and tacked into a catalogue and sent to all members. Thanks to the internet, INTERVAC could use online platforms to spread information to all partners, with a much higher information density and with the possibility of immediate updating. Nowadays, INVERVAC has innovated again by offering free application for iPhone and iPad, and by showing all available homes on Google maps. Thus, it makes partner-searching process easier, clearer and more enjoyable. All in all, these above mentioned innovations in communication channels fostered a better diffusion of the home swapping services in and out of Europe."

     The article notes: "A handful of international exchange services helps filter the bounty of home choice available. Intervac International has, since 1953, served as the clearing house for a series of European and American-run home-exchange operations. Among the 30 countries participating in Intervac International's home-exchange directory are Austria, Denmark, Finland, France, Israel. Malta, Sweden, Switzerland and the United States. Most home exchangers hail from Europe and the United States. Many have retired, but the two most frequent professional groups eager to swap are doctors and teachers—the latter taking advantage of their academic year's long summer holiday. Vacationers tend to consult with Intervac International's US branch when preparing for a swap. However, Intervac has competition from a growing number of exchange organizations, each with a slightly different sales pitch:"

     The book notes: "Intervac International began in 1953 , and today has some 8,000 listings. More than 80 percent of the listings are outside the United States with the majority in France, followed by England, Sweden, Denmark, the Netherlands, Spain, Switzerland and Germany. There are also listings in Iceland, India, Luxembourg, Hong Kong, Portugal, and Zimbabwe. The membership is mostly upscale, professional and in education. A directory is published every year in February with supplements in April and June. The Intervac International Affiliates in 26 countries invite individuals to join local groups, which, in the United States is in San Francisco."

     The book notes: "Intervac is not a timeshare exchange company per se, but it has been helping people from different nations to exchange homes worldwide since 1953. There is no reason you cannot use it as a timeshare exchange network, even though it is set up differently than most of the others that are described in this chapter. In fact, if you try Intervac with your timeshare unit and enjoy the experience, you can add your personal home or additional vacation property into its system, as well, for different levels of trades."

     The book notes: "Intervac International Home Exchange (800/756-4663; www. intervacus.com), founded more than a half-century ago and operated today in the United States by Paula Jaffe, is typical of the several vacation-exchange clubs that enable Americans to swap their homes or apartments with those of persons in other cities, in the United States or abroad, during their respective vacations. By permitting individuals to make use of a valuable asset-their own home or apartment—to live free elsewhere, it enables tens of thousands to travel in the best possible manner. And as you learn the modest charges for participation in Intervac ($65 for United States membership, $95 international, for a yearly Web-only membership), you immediately see that its managers are not involved in this business to get rich."

     The article notes: "Intervac International Home Exchange, which has 10,000 members worldwide, with around 1,300 based in Britain, publishes a thick directory every year. To the uninitiated, the 450-page brochure is written in impenetrable code: for example, the letter "t" beneath an entry means good public transport, "hp" equates with "house suitable for disabled people" and "ae" signifies the use or exchange of a car. But the list of abbreviations is as important, if not more so, as the small photograph of the property in attracting potential swappers. The house may look unprepossessing, but if it has all the necessary facilities, be it a fax machine or a private beach, then it will have appeal. From Stockholm to New York, Athens to St Andrews, there are householders asking for swaps, offering rentals, house-sitting opportunities and "hospitality" breaks, where families travel and stay with each other on an exchange basis. After receiving the brochure, it is up to home owners to make contact and follow up their own arrangements, telephoning and writing to each other. It costs #80 to join Intervac."

     The article notes: "The three biggest home exchange facilitators are Intervac, the first company of its kind, which specializes in European travel (tel. 80% of its properties are outside the U.S.); ... Intervac (tel. 800/756-4663; www.intervacus.com), the oldest and most experienced facilitator, requires membership for access and boasts of having the toughest terms of use. The second largest company, they have 10,000 members in 52 countries. Intervac prints its property lists in catalogs, as well as on the Internet, including 1,000 to 2,500 properties in the U.S., France, and the U.K. alone. Hundreds more are available in other countries throughout the world, mostly in Europe, but as far afield as Bali and Nepal. Intervac members pay between $68.88 a year, for online listings, to $168.88 a year, for online and print listings combined. They also position English-speaking representatives in many countries."

Members have a myriad of options for joining, starting at $68 for Web members who can access Web-only text and photos, or $128 for book directories and full Web access. Seniors receive $6 off if receiving the book directory of listings. Two catalogue directories are sent out each year, in April and December. Each year, Intervac has about 10,000 offers listed, in over 50 countries. And Mrs. Horne is not just a matchmaker for house traders. She is also an avid home exchanger, having swapped homes more than a dozen times in Europe alone."

  There is sufficient coverage in reliable sources to allow Intervac to pass Wikipedia:Notability (organizations and companies)#Primary criteria, which requires "significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject".

• Keep. In addition to what Cunard has listed above, I find a number of articles in a Swedish newspaper archive, e.g. "10 000 familjer väntar på napp" (Helsingborgs Dagblad, 16 November 1996, 250 words mostly about Intervac), "Bostadsbytare samlas i Åhus" (local paper, and with interview portions, so not a terribly important addition to this conversation; Kristianstadsbladet 27 July 2007, 500 words), and a lot of shorter pieces in articles where people talk about house swapping in general and discuss Intervac as an important predecessor. /Julle (talk) 13:07, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

• Keep As it covers an important progressive movement in Israel that has made a significant impact on social and political issues. The group has been involved in campaigns for environmental protection, human rights, and social justice, which have received media attention. There are reliable sources that show the group's importance, including news articles and reports about its activities. --RodrigoIPacce (talk) 12:05, 24 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
