The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review). No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was no consensus, defaulting to keep. Editors are encouraged to seek out more sources for this organization. There are arguments for and against notability, however it would appear that it is just notable enough to remain for now. Those who still feel this should be deleted are asked to try to improve the article, then open a new AfD in a couple weeks if that fails. Hersfold (t/a/c) 14:18, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Bulgarian Human Rights in Macedonia

Bulgarian Human Rights in Macedonia (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

No real evidence of notability. Superm401 - Talk 01:55, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

  • Note that this is an organization, not an article about the phenomenon. I'm going to say weak delete as simply being rumored to be associated with someone is not itself a real claim to notability. --Dhartung | Talk 03:43, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Well, its not really just "rumored," is it? It was enough to induce a government statement. And yet, that is the only link to any notability. I suggest that this be merged with an article about the Bulgarian community in Macedonia, etc. or ethnic politics in Macedonia. That way, the rumored connection will have proper context. If one cannot find a home for this, it is justifiable to delete. Vishnava (talk) 05:09, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Keep If a topic has received significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject, it is presumed to be notable. — from Wikipedia:Notability. That means that just because it doesn't have multiple, reliable sources doesn't make it non-notable. So keep, it is notable enough for inclusion IMO--Phoenix-wiki 06:31, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
Comment. There is no evidence of significant media coverage, just a single incident with some coverage. Superm401 - Talk 13:36, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's hardly justifiable to call this even an "organisation"; it's really not much more than a one-man website used by a confused individual to spew their hate propaganda. Just because that individual got his fifteen minutes of media attention because he lied about foreign backing doesn't make it notable. I'm also against merging: the media incident had its significance in relation to the (non-existing) notability of this guy; it had no significance to the wider issue of actual Greek-Bulgarian politics.

(after ec:) and Phoenix-wiki, I'm baffled by your rather tortuous distinction between "significant" RS coverage and "multiple" RS coverage. That seems wiki-lawyerish to me. Whatever the distinction between significant and multiple, this organisation has neither. Fut.Perf. ☼ 06:45, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
"The organization exists" is not an argument for having an article. Superm401 - Talk 10:45, 21 April 2008 (UTC)
