EGullet[edit]

Doesn't look like its been covered by any reliable sources. Admitted vanity article created by site owner. Doesn't seem to meet WP:WEB and fails WP:V. Delete. Wickethewok 21:46, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per nom. Its always nice when the authors fess up to stuff. :-) EVula 23:33, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

So wait, you cant be the founder of said organization and write the original article? Its a not for profit charity! (jperlow)

Just because you're non-profit doesn't mean there's not a conflict of interest. Wickethewok 18:46, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(Jperlow) There is no conflict of interest because I am no longer involved in the organization. There is no vanity because it is a short article that simply lists factual information based on data from publically avaliable sources, including the site's 501c3 determination filings with the Federal Government and at Guidestar. --Perlow 04:04, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Anyways, conflict of interest isn't the primary reason for deletion - there are still the issues of sourcing and failing WP:V and WP:WEB. Wickethewok 04:42, 5 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

(jperlow) the eG Forums site meets -all- the criteria for internet content under WP:WEB and it should be noted that the eGullet Society for Culinary Arts and Letters is NOT a website and its a non-for-profit charity which has 501c3 status with the United States Government. eG Forums, the forum site that it hosts is a website. The material by which the article is based is can by publically accessed on Guidestar, therfore the entire content is verifyable --Perlow 01:50, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Wait, I'm not sure I understand how this meets WP:WEB/WP:CORP... what are your sources exactly...? According to Guidestar, they list 1.5 million non-profit organizations - what makes yours any more notable than any of those? Wickethewok 02:38, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Seems to be mentioned often in news articles [1]. I have a gut feeling that reliable sources can be found for this one. Or maybe I'm just hungry. --- RockMFR 05:41, 7 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Independent verification of notability still not provided during this discussion, although the author/owner is active here. `'mikkanarxi 21:01, 8 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]
