[edit] Big Hands For Little Hearts

I feel like the Wicked Witch of the West putting this up for AfD, but ... they have like five Google hits, and their founder is also up for AfD. Probably wonderful people, but non-notable at this time. No vote. Adrian Lamo ·· 10:52, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

• Keep. I understand the nomination, but I don't think that Google is an adequate criterion in this sort of case. If we knew the Russian, Googling might raise more hits, I suppose; note also that the charity's top-level Web page uses the title "The Dostoevsky Family Children's Heart Fund" (which doesn't get a single Google hit). The charity is verifiable. The article needs to be moved to a properly capitalised form, though. --Mel Etitis (Μελ Ετητης) 11:43, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Very weak delete. Russian Google yields only 17 hits, two of which are Wikimirrors. It would be nice to keep this, but it's just not sufficiently notable and Wikipedia can't be a nonprofit directory anymore than it's a business directory. Daniel Case 14:47, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete The Russian version Большие руки для маленьких сердец gets 0 Ghits. Their executive director is Геннадий Микитянский (Gennadi Mikitjanski) but he turns up few Ghits either. Possibly a scam? Dlyons493 Talk 18:22, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete As noted above, a search turns up nothing. A valid charity would have at least some presence, especially given that it's an American run charity, set up by a doctor based out of San Francisco. Nothing turns up at the American Institute of Philanthrophy, a charity watchdog group, or the BBB. That doesn't mean it's a scam, but it's certainly not of note enough to be in Wikipedia. Ckessler
• Delete per Dlyons493's research. (ESkog)^(Talk) 01:35, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
• Delete. The low number of hits makes me think this is a scam, or it's so new no-one has heard of it yet. Not notable. Grandmasterka 02:19, 13 February 2006 (UTC)
