Non-notable organization. First reference requires you to log in and the second reference does not mention this organization. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 17:27, 14 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. We have articles on all Scout and Guide National organisations affiliated to the World bodies. Sources are a problem for South Sudan, but we do not want bias against organisations in such countries, so leave it to have time to find sources. I have informed WP:SCOUT and they might find sources. --Bduke (Discussion) 00:58, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS is not a reason to keep. Sportsfan 1234 (talk) 01:15, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It is not WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. It is that sources are difficult to find in poor new third world countries, so leave it for now. --Bduke (Discussion) 01:20, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

  • Keep. I have updated the article with a few additional references. Realize this is a new country that is very poor and in the middle of a literally atrocious civil war, so reporting on Girl Guides will be low priority. Jacknstock (talk) 03:16, 15 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep So, here's the rub: The main newspaper in the country doesn't have an online presence anymore. Relevant (stubs are available but full content is down for now. The Citizen (South Sudan) website appears to have expired. Per GNG: "Sources do not have to be available online." So, 1. We have some sources from Jacknstock. 2. We have good evidence of at least a few additional secondary sources, but 3. Those archives are not available online for the time being. Base notability appears to be a fair assumption with this evidence. AbstractIllusions (talk) 18:16, 16 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
  • Keep - Seems to be notable and as AbstractIllusions pointed out, the sources do not have to be available online. -- Dane talk 01:18, 17 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I'm glad you've mentioned the systemic bias essay. I have suspected that issue with several conversations here. Jack N. Stock (talk) 20:21, 20 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
