Sosmentor

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article is an advertisement for the organisation, apparently written by one of the founders. It is copied almost word for word from the organisation's website. No clear evidence of notability. Fails WP:SPAM, WP:COI, WP:N. -Pickbothmanlol- 00:00, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Speedy Delete I too could find no third party references for the term, but there are other search possibilities. More important, it's essentially a copyvio from their website, and has so been marked. previous tagging for speedy as copyvio was removed without explanation by an editor with clear COI. . I do not delete it myself because I'd like another admin to confirm that it would not be reasonably possible to rescue the article. DGG ( talk ) 00:08, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment - speedy declined and copyvio material removed, which makes the article even thinner. andy (talk) 22:51, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Non notable charity. I presume it was written in good faith but Wikipedia isn't the place to plug your own stuff. Mattg82 (talk) 00:19, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. andy (talk) 00:53, 6 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Do Not Delete - I am in the process of rewriting the SOSMentor Wikipedia so it is not written as an article. What do you mean by "copyvio material removed,which makes the article thinner?" Please review after changes are made.

Comment - I've been through all the new references and I can't see a single one that satisfies the requirements of WP:N. Some of them don't even appear to mention Sosmentor directly.

Do Not Delete - Don't References 1 (Guidestar - which certifies SOSMentor to be a notable non-profit), 3 (LA Marathon website, which is not temporary), 4 (A page dedicated to SOSMentor from a partner High School), 11 (SOSMentor listed as a a recipient of a grant), 12 (A newsletter from the Rotarian Action Group) and 14 (SOSMentor's mini-grant project summary listed) satisfy the requirements of WP:N? These are reliable, secondary sources, that are independent of the SOSMentor organization. Please let em know if I am misunderstanding the criteria.

Delete; while this seems well-intentioned, I don't think the Rotary Club newsletter quite establishes notability for an encyclopedia. --Glenfarclas (talk) 09:12, 10 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]
