[edit] American Association of Teachers of Persian

American Association of Teachers of Persian (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Fails WP:ORG. No evidence of notability in the 85 non-wiki ghits. Contested prod. MER-C 08:12, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete looking over the ghits (and references), I can't find anything on the significance of the organization. Multiple academic websites have it listed in various types of indexes(foreign culture studies, Persian language learning, etc.) but none of them make note of important achievements it has made[1]. Even the organization's website doesn't note what achievements it has accomplished. It might be notable someday, but today it isn't. —Mitaphane _?|! 00:10, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
• keep We should be very careful in deleting articles about non-English language subjects on the basis of ghits, and careful of deleting academic subjects on the basis of ghits, and all the more so here. The members of this group are not all that likely to get involved in discussions on the internet. In a small niche, we expect small organizations, but each language is notable none the less. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by DGG (talk • contribs) 04:25, 28 January 2007 (UTC).

• Comment I agree, that's why I throughly looked through the ghits to find some information about the group that makes note of its significance. I could not one piece of information that asserts any significance of the organization. Even the organization's website doesn't really state any sort of accomplishments it has achieved. Just because an organization exists at NYU doesn't mean it gets its own wikipedia article. —Mitaphane _?|! 22:42, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

• Delete. If this really is a notable organization based at New York University, shouldn't a search of that university's main webspace produce some mention of it? In the absence of better sources, notability doesn't seem to be established. -FisherQueen (Talk) 16:32, 28 January 2007 (UTC)
