The Conciliation Project[edit]

This is a very spammy, badly formatted page about an organisation, and reads like an autobiography in the third person. I tried to tag it with a need for a change of tone and confirmation of notability, but the author continually removed them. I can not see any real notability. Delete, unless notability can be established. J Milburn 18:00, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Delete: It's also a pretty clear COI as well. .V. _[_Talk|Email] 18:02, 21 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Keep: This article should not be deleted because it is a government recognized non-profit company within the United States. It falls under the realm of non-profit theater in America or theater activism. If anyone has suggestions regarding improvements to the so-called "spammy, bad formatting" please send, but deleting the article is not necessary. Harttqh 19:18, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Reply: Here are some notable sources:

[[1]] (this is a negative editorial on TCP)

[[2]] (this is a list that verfies TCP's participation in the Intersection IV: Re/Generations conference)

This is all I can offer at this time. I would hope that the 501(c)(3) status and involvement in many national conferences listed in the article would be notable enough. TCP pushes for social change regarding racism in America, and although they are a relatively new theater company, they will be a force for change in the coming future.

*Delete Yet another example of people trying to obtain ownership of common words. At this point there are no sources that anyone has noticed it, except for one review--the list on umass is the very model of a non-significant mention. They claim to have done things in other cites, but there is no actual information about them.

- Comment: Erm, so? Admittedly, it is better than YouTube, but check the link again. Pretty meaningless. J Milburn 17:37, 30 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Checked that reference. They did produce a video. The listing is evidence that it was produced, and was accepted by one of the ERIC depositories among other instructional material. But more to the point is that it was produced by the Eugene school district and sponsored by the US DOE Office of Special Education and Rehabilitative Services. Added to their other productions, for which there is no external evidence, it is sufficient. Changed !vote to Weak Keep

Comment: I have little idea what you are talking about DGG, could you explain that again please? As far as I interpret it, they made a video that was used by some schools... So? J Milburn 16:02, 1 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Strong delete, as a vanity article, conflict of interest, NPOV issues, et cetera. If someone truly independent was writing the article and aiming at neutrality, I would still think the notability is borderline at best. Mango juice^talk 15:57, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Delete Non-notable theatre group. Six years and five works with scant media coverage speaks to the lack of notability. Noble intentions, but not enough here for inclusion. Caknuck 20:59, 7 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
