This article reads like an advertisement and previously had a section asking readers to donate to the organization. It also has no sources other than the organization's website and social media. The user who created it has previously been bocked for creating inappropriate articles. Seahorseruler ^{(Talk Page) (Contribs)} 18:26, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep Well, I am voting with my heart rather than my brain. It is a 9th grade girl that has started this organisation and she seems to have basically created this wiki page by herself. A lot of energy and enthusiasm. So, can't we overlook all the rules for once and let it be? It doesn't hurt. Kautilya3 (talk) 22:10, 18 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I disagree. The rules are the rules. We can't allow blatant advertisements disguised as articles. Making exceptions based on emotion damages the integrity of Wikipedia as an Encyclopedia. --Seahorseruler ^{(Talk Page) (Contribs)} 00:47, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

She is a kid! Give her a break. We can't expect her to understand all our rules perfectly. (I myself don't understand them all.) I think we should nurture her interest and rather than to shoot her down. Kautilya3 (talk) 12:47, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

This isn't some minor policy technicality. This is an attempt to use Wikipedia for advertising and promotion. In addition, the user has been found to be sockpuppeting, so there isn't much "nurturing" to do here. --Seahorseruler ^{(Talk Page) (Contribs)} 03:37, 20 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

See WP:HARMLESS. --Kinu ^t/_c 16:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. I see no indication of notability supported by significant coverage in reliable sources. Also highly promotional. The "keep" !vote above does not take into account Wikipedia's policies or guidelines. --Kinu ^t/_c 03:55, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Does not meet WP:ORGDEPTH. Source searches are providing almost no coverage in reliable sources, let alone significant coverage. All I could find was a passing mention here. NorthAmerica¹⁰⁰⁰ 05:23, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Collapse !votes by confirmed sockpuppets.

Keep. Source from The Independant Times, a Santa Barbara Newspaper which is read by 20 -25,000 people is there. What more do we need? I think the error that the girl had made earlier has been corrected. Please Look Forward to it too! --Hoodygirl ^Hoodygirl/ 17:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

"What more do we need?" More than one passing mention in one source. --Kinu ^t/_c 15:22, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I think we should promote children and not demoralize them and she has also given source from a newspaper : The Independant Times --Dev Mukherjee ^Devmukherjee/ 17:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. I don't find a big flaw or a kind of advertisement in this article. I don't know why the wikipedians are proposing to delete it. --JimmyBroughton (talk) 14:00, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. This article is not an advertisement from any angle and it also doesn't have a donation link or something in it. --DeePowell123 (talk) 14:36, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Keep. Nandini Goel, a child prodigy at computers, has begun a small-scale, grassroots project in Delhi, India — a computer school for girls from impoverished families. Nandini volunteers all her spare time to meditation and to instructing girls less fortunate then her. See Educate My Girl here. This is what was written about educate my girl. what else source is needed rather than from such a renowned newspaper --WikiLover34 ^WikiLover34/ 17:59, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Delete rather unfortunately, because of lack of coverage. I attempted to find sources myself, and failed to find any. However, I agree with Kautilya that the enthusiasm of this editor should not be stomped upon; throw a mentor at them, if somebody is willing. Kautilya3, you'd be a decent candidate yourself. This was before I saw the evidence of socking. Not much to be done there, now. Delete per WP:ORGDEPTH.Vanamonde93 (talk) 17:16, 19 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]
