[edit] Malachi Foundation

Malachi Foundation (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Small non for profit corp. Does not appear to be notable Alex Bakharev 11:27, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep It's been mentioned in several CNN stories, as well as other outlets. Here's what a Yahoo search yields:

http://search.yahoo.com/search?ei=utf-8&fr=slv8-&p=%22Malachi%20Foundation%22 Rick Ross has some of them archived. Also, this article is only a day or so old--nominating it for deletion so soon is a bit harsh. Blueboy96 13:24, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Greg Feste is the founder of Malachi, he is also tied to numerous NFl players thru Champions for Christ and one of his companies purchased the Austin Wranglers. This is the first in a series linking all of these and is quite significant as many investors lost money. The article should be kept.Osakadan 12:35, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete while one editor metioned he might be notable, that editor did not provide any citations to prove notability. NOtability is still questionable--Sefringle 04:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Can you hold your horses. Some of us aren't in jobs ere we can just hop on line all day. Be patientOsakadan 09:07, 22 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Agreed, see WP:AFD#Before nominating an AfD--many good articles start out in bad shape. I note that this article was nominated for deletion just under eight hours after it was created. This is far too harsh, and if allowed to stand would set a bad precedent. Blueboy96 01:27, 24 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Keep - seems notable. Artaxiad 21:12, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete as non-notable on the face of it. The outside sources given simply mention it as one of his activities. The IRS form proves existence, but, if anything, tends to show the lack of notability-- the claimed financial amounts are way under what a notable foundation would need; though there is no fixed rule, this is beneath the level of common sense.

  • Delete Per DGG, sources prove existence but not notability. OhNoitsJamie Talk 03:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Speedy Delete, no assertion of notability, doesn't meet WP:CORP. Really, what about this article shows that this outfit is at all notable? It collects money, it gives money away. Short of minutiae that you'd find in a financial prospectus, that's all this article claims. If this article is intended for a series on Greg Feste's doings, might it not be a good idea to start with creating an article on Feste first? RGTraynor 16:19, 26 March 2007 (UTC)
