Foundation for the Education of Needy Children in Fiji[edit]

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This article on an international NGO is very unorganized and has no references, I also persume that there is another article with the same name. PBASH607 (The One Day Apocalypse) (talk) 00:28, 7 May 2013 (UTC)z[reply]

Delete Although none of the nominator's complaints are valid reasons to delete an article, lack of notability is, and I can't find any sources to support the notability of this charity. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 12:31, 11 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the article sounds overly-promotional but what search did you do that returned no sources for this NGO? - tucoxn\^talk 05:46, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, czar · · 00:41, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

delete no sources means no article. Looks overly promotional too. LibStar (talk) 10:44, 14 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - There are lots of sources on this NGO. A quick search for FENC "Fiji Times" (using the NGO's acronym) gives the following independently produced news articles: 1, 2, 3, and 4 (all on one page). More news articles are available in the Fiji Sun. I agree that the article is poorly written and un-sourced but those are not valid arguments for deletion. Despite my keep opinion, I don't think I'm interested in re-writing this article. - tucoxn\^talk 05:46, 15 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The four specific references given are all broken. The general search reference returns any occurrence of the combination 'fenc',whine mostly refer to fences and fencing. Good sources may be available, but I don't believe they have yet been provided. WikiDan61^ChatMe!_ReadMe!! 04:03, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I don't understand why my links broke. It could be something weird about the Fiji Times web site — although it is the newspaper of record in Fiji, it's by no means a superlative journal. Here's another try with the same links (plus one more) from the only first page of a google search:

- FENC Fiji assists 970 kids

- Bags and paint gift

- FENC Fiji appoints national co-ordinator

- FENC Fiji calls for support

- FENC Fiji receives donation

And some from the Fiji Sun (only from the first page of another google search):

- BSP donates $10,000 to FENC FIJI

- Westpac gives to needy children

- Westpac, FENC help children in Rakiraki

- Dulux Paints donates to schools

Again, I didn't put much effort into this search and I imagine some of the articles above are duplicate stories about the same event written by the two different newspapers. With a little more effort, plenty of coverage should be available. I hope this research can help someone improve the article. - tucoxn\^talk 09:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
