Lots of sources, but none which are clearly reliable proof of substantial coverage. Created by WP:SPA WP:COI creator years ago - has been tagged for lack of notability for over 6 years. Boleyn (talk) 14:04, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

~~Speedy keep~~ Deletion spree. Nomination seeks to bind AfD volunteers into working on articles of the nominator's choice. Unscintillating (talk) 20:14, 24 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Not notable; in a search I found a couple of passing mentions at the Pacific Business News, plus one actual article from the same source, which is already cited in the article and is the ONLY significant independent source in the article. FYI, since the references in the article are not properly cited and you have to click on each one to find out what it is, here is a summary:

1. 2003 article from Pacific Business News specifically about this institute.
2. bio of founder, from the website of "Economics for Equity and Environment", whatever that is.
3. link to another project founded by same individual; unrelated to current subject
4. self referential
5. self referential
6. shows research from the Institute reproduced on a Kaua'i government website
7. dead link
8. newspaper op-ed by the Institute's director
9. dead link
10. dead link
11. press release
12. dead link

There is nothing here to suggest that the article is worth keeping, and that's not surprising; it's a recently founded and very narrowly focused institute. --MelanieN (talk) 17:20, 25 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]
