Poorly sourced. Promotional. Doesn't seem to exist any more. Rathfelder (talk) 22:58, 6 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete fails WP:N and WP:COMPANY. Arguments for WP:GNG are poor.--TonyTheTiger (T / C / WP:FOUR / WP:CHICAGO / WP:WAWARD) 22:57, 7 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. The promotionalism can be removed; that it ndoes not exist any more is irrelevant if it ever was notable. there do seem to be sources. DGG ( talk ) 01:06, 11 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

Delete I actually ending up at this article as I was looking for Heartland Alliance, which turns out to be a completely unrelated organisation (but with Chicago links). This article is completely promotional in tone and seems to be written by people with close connections. I've just tried to follow some of the references to see what Heartland International is all about, but it's a bit of dead end really. They look like a legitimate organisation, but don't appear to be notable to me, so I vote Delete. Seaweed (talk) 10:03, 20 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Delete for now actually and Draft instead as I examined the article and also searched for sources but to no avail it seems, delete until better can actually be made. When we can hope for improvements but often this will not happen that soon. SwisterTwister talk 20:18, 21 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It is not relevant that the organisation is no longer operating under this title, nor that its "Citizen Bridges International" successor appears to have minimal presence. However, in terms of the notability of the organisation, many of the given references are but passing mentions in local coverage. The most substantial seems to be the paragraph summary for Heartland International, among other organisations, in the "Planting International Seeds" bulletin article. That serves to verify, but I don't see it as the extent of substantial coverage needed for WP:ORGDEPTH. AllyD (talk) 11:28, 27 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
