both organization and author request for legal reasons Megalta (talk) 16:43, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete The above user is the only major contributor so has a right to ask for deletion. All sources the website of the organisation. It is almost an orphan. I personally do not know the legal reasons , but presuming there are some then it should be removed. 安東尼 TALK> 16:46, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

If we are to have regard to the 'legal reasons' then they need to be specified. Bridgeplayer (talk) 20:19, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment An IP tagged the article with DB-Author several times, this was reverted as vandalism. The nominator is the original author of the article. ~~There have been enough significant edits (primarily by IP) to the article that I would decline the speedy request.~~ The other edits are primarily reordering of the personnel, minor typo fixes, and additions of categories. ~~I'd agree with the speedy request now, but would prefer another admin to do so.~~

Keep as Bridgeplayer states, this entity in independently notable, despite needing some more work. -- Flyguy649 ^talk 16:47, 25 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - the creator requesting deletion allows speedy deletion but does not require it; we can take a broader view of the interests of the encyclopedia since, once written, a page is the property of the Community. In this case we have a plainly notable and important institution. It is a non-profit post-graduate body, it carries out important work on behalf of the UN, has published many significant works, unusually has a branch in Kabul etc. Sure it needs independent sources, but I am sure that those would be forthcoming from a search of Italian publications, and some editorial cleaning but I see no good reason to delete.

Keep There is not the slightest doubt that this organisation is notable and should have an article on wikipedia. The only reason for deletion then would be the request by the creator); there is no wp:ownership of articles, and I'd like to remind people that there is a notice when editing that says You irrevocably agree to release your contributions under the CC-BY-SA 3.0 License and the GFDL.¨¨ victor falk 13:28, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
