The Humane Society of Allen County[edit]

Article about a non-notable local chapter of the Humane Society. No third-party references. Tom (talk - email) 22:02, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Weak delete. This article should have been prodded first, not nominated for deletion. It can potentially be made acceptable, and the editors should be given an opportunity to fix the problems first. Right now it doesn't establish notability, it's effectively unsourced, and reads like an advertisement (or reads as if folks with a conflict of interest have been editing it). All those things could be fixed. ~Amatulić (talk) 23:15, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

There are many local humane societies in the United States at the county level, and there are over 3,000 counties in the United States. Do you suggest each one deserves an article? Unless there is something particularly extraordinary about this office compared with the others, it is not notable. --Tom (talk - email) 01:30, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Needs editing, not deletion. Willvista (talk) 00:11, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Delete I quote from WP:ORG "Individual chapters of national and international organizations are usually not notable enough to warrant a separate article unless sufficient notability is established through reliable sources. However, chapter information may be included in list articles as long as only verifiable information is included." Nothing in this article suggests that this is an unusually special or controversial chapter of the Humane Society. We might merge some of the data into a more general entry on the topic.

Delete clear-cut violation of WP:ORG, and a best-case redirect to the Humane Society or Allen County, Ohio. Ohconfucius (talk) 03:17, 18 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
