Sent to draft space multiple times and returned to article space without substantive changes. Seems to be borderline on notability. Let's have the community decide. UtherSRG (talk) 10:50, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Ford Foundation: Fails WP:GNG as a stand alone article 🇺🇦 Fiddle^Timtrent Faddle^Talk to me 🇺🇦 11:16, 10 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I am the original author of this article. I have now added more references to demonstrate notability. I would propose that this is notable apart from the Ford Foundation article because it operated semi-independently of the foundation (e.g., was not exclusively a grantmaking project) and there is specific news coverage of the activities of the FAE.

Keep - I approved through AfC and then sent it back to mainspace after another editor sent back to draft. I included some of the many references about the organization which can be found on Newspapers.com through a WP:BEFORE search. There is not too much recent coverage as it is now defunct. I don't see an issue with it being merged to the Ford Foundation but based on the significant coverage it would need to covered somehow. --CNMall41 (talk) 03:09, 11 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Merge with Ford Foundation as per above. Out of all the cited sourced, only the article by Edelson and the article from Petersburg Times can be considered SIGCOV. other coverage that I found are either trivial mentions or covered as part of Ford Foundation's contribution to adult education. There does not seem to be enough coverage and content to justify a stand alone article. Tutwakhamoe (talk) 21:04, 19 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
