[edit] Princess Diana Institute of Peace

Princess Diana Institute of Peace (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) – (View log)

Non-notable organization that has conducted a seminar, organized a dinner, and conducted some awareness programs. Fails WP:ORG. There are very few external links/references, which are trivial, and don't establish notability: [1] is written by the Secretary-General of the PDIP, Rajkumar Kanagasingam. Image:Dianaincorporation.jpg is notice for application in a newspaper. [2] says that it has conducted awareness programs. [3] mentions it once, saying that it jointly organized a dinner event. Googling returns Wikipedia mirrors, except this, which mentions it once for the dinner event. utcursch | talk 12:18, 19 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Speedy Delete per nom, non notable organization with just 15 unique GHITS [4], most of the Wiki mirrors. --snowolfD4( talk / @ ) 17:42, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Delete According to the image included in the article it is a limited liability company incorporated in Sri Lanka. Non notable as all the hits you get is from mirror sites of wikipedia. ŇëŧΜǒńğëŗTalk 18:11, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Question: Someone more knowledgeable than me will need to answer this: Is a Limited Liability Company in Sri Lanka like an LLC in the United States? That is to say, is a Sri Lankan LLC generally a for-profit corporation? --LastChanceToBe 18:38, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
    • Reply : To answer your question yes it is, a limited liability company is a for profit organization that has to produce thier accounts to the auditor general/Department of Inland Revenue, every financial year or when requested. Furthermore the companies are registered by the government body "Samagam Medura" which means "Center for Companies" in Sinhala, it is mentioned in the image that this organization is registered with "Samagam Medura", it is required by law to publish an advertisement in a noted media if a limited liability company chooses not to use the term "limited" with their organization name and it should mention that they have permission to do so and the purpose of it. Hope this answers your question. ŇëŧΜǒńğëŗTalk 06:17, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Note. I removed the prod as I felt this was a contentious issue given discussions elsewhere. AfD therefore seemed necessary to determine the fate of this article. I make no comment in this discussion. WjBscribe 00:47, 20 March 2007 (UTC)

  • Delete. Fails WP:ORG and WP:N - there are not sufficient acceptable references. Ccscott 13:50, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
  • Strong Delete. Fails WP:ORG completely and it is not a notable organisation at all. I too am from Sri lanka and I have never heard of this organisation nor seen it mentioned in news papers. There are far more notable institutions in Sri Lanka rather than this so called "institute" of dubious notability.Kerr avon 16:45, 21 March 2007 (UTC)
