[edit] Breast cancer campaign

Breast cancer campaign (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

WP:AUTO and WP:SPAM. May be notable, but makes no substantial claims as such, aside from monetary volume. Potatoswatter (talk) 09:50, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Keep This article just needed to be tagged as I have taken the liberty to do. It does need a little wikification which I will also try and take care of. Doesn't need to be deleted though. It's also wrong to cite WP:AUTO as a reason to delete. Doesn't apply here. Carter | Talk to me 10:17, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
Do you mean AUTO does not relate to deletion, or that this is not an autobiography? Potatoswatter (talk) 14:26, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep I have edited this article slightly in order to better meet Wikipedia's guidelines and have also created references to back up information that has been included. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.176.181.2 (talk) 10:44, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
They're still not secondary sources, and it's no less AUTO, if the links are all to breastcancercampaign.org. Potatoswatter (talk)
  • Keep: Certainly notable, even though the article doesn't assert notability as well as it could...... Dendodge .. TalkHelp 11:36, 23 May 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep – Has more than established Notabilty as shown here. [1]. ShoesssS Talk 15:58, 23 May 2008 (UTC)

  • Comment Although most AfDs follow arguments of notability, this does not. The problem with this article is systemic bias, even if you can't "see" it. At best it duplicates material from the Campaign's website. Interested readers should go to that website if they want that information. It is not a positive contribution here. This article looks fine, but WP:AB#The problem with autobiographies is that there is no problem. Along with the verifiable broad stokes will be the embellishments of an insider. This organization does deserve an article, but the article should be written by Wikipedians with proper standards. Potatoswatter (talk) 17:55, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
Hmm, just read WP:DEL#REASON :vP ... I suppose the specific issue I can point at is copyvio of the website, compared to the cross-"referenced" sections. Potatoswatter (talk) 18:28, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
