To Do: Link pages to here[edit]

I created this as as I wondered what sort of thing it was; there are many pages that refer to Ethisphere without being linked. It would be great if people found time to link them. PJTraill (talk) 13:39, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

To Do: More background wanted[edit]

I wonder if anyone can provide more information: news, criticisms, answers, organisation, connections etc. PJTraill (talk) 13:39, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Previous article deleted / why notable[edit]

I see on User_talk:Thendral_Muthusami#Speedy_deletion_nomination_of_Ethisphere_Institute that a previous article under this title (started at 12:57, 1 July 2010) was nominated for deletion, and, presumably deleted; I don’t know where the discussion – if any – is. Oddly enough, when I created the article, I saw no warning of the previous article.

It seems notable to me, as many companies refer (in Wikipedia and elsewhere) to their ranking by the Institute, so that one wants to know what sort of organisation it is, how it works, and how seriously one can take it. I therefore created the article supplying at least a start to providing that information.

It is also mentioned on Wikipedia:Requested_articles/Business_and_economics/Companies and Wikipedia:WikiProject_Academic_Journals/Journals_cited_by_Wikipedia/E13 (“academic”!?); Wikipedia:WikiProject_Spam/COIReports/2007,_Oct_10 also refers to a non-existent User:Ethisphere blocked on 2007-10-11T04:47:16, which could mean that there was a previous spammy form of the article, in which case I feel it a good thing that we replace that with a neutral and informative one.

I totally agree. I myself got to this article because I was reading about Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and saw its ranking by Ethisphere Magazine mentioned, so I Googled that to see how reputable it was. Thus, this subject definitely seemed noteworthy to me, and this article at least provided the key piece of info I wanted to know (which is that Ethisphere Magazine is at least more substantial than just some local Lutheran magazine from the same area as Thrivent's HQ).

Guff reverted[edit]

This was very reasonably tagged as sounding like a press release, being full of guff bigging up the company. I have therefore reverted it to the last serious revision (since then it was only editted to tag it and to date the tag). If User:Smarzec has anything useful to contribute they are welcome to add it in a neutral tone — but I doubt it, as this was their only contribution. Of course anyone else is also welcome to wade through their prose in search of encyclopaedic information. PJTraill (talk) 21:08, 30 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Info about the organization is needed.[edit]

Specifically, the management of the organization needs to be explained, and, most importantly, the funding of the organization needs to be explained. Absent this information the organization could be a Russian gang or a front for US underworld organizations. drh (talk) 13:45, 15 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
