[edit] European youth forum

No assertion of notability and completely inadequate sourcing (which is to say, none). Article as it stands is an orphaned advertisement. Mackensen (talk) 22:46, 16 July 2006 (UTC)

  • Weak Keep. I'll admit I haven't done all the legwork on this, but a glance at Google[1] makes me think this would meet the proposed WP:ORG ("organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale and information can be verified by a third party source"). Granted, only 500-odd unique Ghits, and eight months haven't helped this article fill out more, but unless absolutely no sources meeting the usual standards can be found, I'll err on the side of keeping this. -- H·G (words/works) 00:53, 17 July 2006 (UTC)
 AFD relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so that consensus may be reached.

  • Keep. Certainly significant number of ghits as noted above. Review of its website reveals that this is a fairly significant internationally supported organization with strong support from the EU. Certainly has the characteristics of a stub article, but did not have a stub-tag (which it now does). Agent 86 17:28, 24 July 2006 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete as copvio - the article is a straight lift of the 1st para from here. —Preceding unsigned comment added by BlueValour (talk • contribs)
  • Yikes, good catch on the copyvio. Strong Delete unless someone fixes that up. -- H·G (words/works) 09:00, 29 July 2006 (UTC)
