Munich Forum for Islam[edit]

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

Lack of notability. The "Munich Forum for Islam", the name for a planned super-mosque with additional installations, was not realized, remaining a pure 'paper project' which never went beyond an early planning stage. The intended building area, the Munich city council decided two months ago, is going to be used for other purposes and there is no substitute in sight (see sources). With the project's failure, publicly acknowledged by the initiators themselves, the notability of the subject ceases to exist (WP:NOTTEMPORARY). As an aside, although not relevant to the issue of notability per se, the article is written from a strongly supportive, marketing perspective, both in tone and contents, violating our core policies on neutrality etc.

Delete not notable organization akin to various religio-ethnic associations that happen to own a building, one can find dozens - equally non-notable - in the phone directory of most major cities, a quick perusal of San Francisco, CA one finds: The United Irish Cultural Center, Slovenian Hall, Jewish Community Center, Chinese Culture Center, Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern California, Korean Center, Mission Cultural Center For Latino Arts, SGI-USA SF Buddhist Culture Center, Muslim Cultural Center, African American Art & Culture Complex, and no doubt more time will yield more. They no doubt get mentions in the local press, may have a profile or two on them in the local press (like most restaurants, little league team, or whatever needs to be covered to make up sufficient pages to sell a $1 newspaper these days, but they are not notable and that coverage does not make them notable, just like the current item.
