Notability[edit]

I vote for retention. I suggest that all large development centres should qualify for inclusion under the rubric of development charities or poverty-related organizations. This is such a centre and does extensive work, as can be gathered from reports in its publications as well as from the independent sources newly referenced in the article.Jzsj (talk) 10:52, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Jzsj, Wikipedia has an established notability criteria at WP:GNG. There needs to be wide independent coverage of a subject in multiple "good" sources-- i.e. not self-published sources. That's it. Your suggestion is nice but you ned to follow the gereral criteria at WP:GNG. There are no exceptions for good works, charities or poverty-related organizations. If I could give you some advice, you should probably be doing the work you are doing on your own wiki, where you could register a domain name like jesuit-works.org or something similar, and crtae a giant wiki of all the Jesuit organizations. It would work better than doing what you are doing here, as Wikipedia has notability rules that are goign to preclude many of your articles, like this one, from remaining on the site.HappyValleyEditor (talk) 19:17, 23 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I believe your criteria go beyond what is demanded by the the notability guidelines you reference. There it says that "If no independent, third-party, reliable sources can be found on a topic, then Wikipedia should not have an article on it." There are reliable, third party sources referenced here, and how many are required seems a matter of personal opinion since the article gives only the criterion "the individual organization has received no or very little notice from independent sources." I would like to press the point that these nation-wide development centres are notable, especially when accompanied by independent references like those shown here. And it seems to me that most editors are ready to accept the fact that in less literate countries, where most who buy newspapers are from the elite, centers that cater to the poor do not receive the coverage that they might receive in Europe and America.Jzsj (talk) 16:28, 24 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
