Apparently I started this article ten years ago in an attempt to assist an editor who had created it in the wrong place. I perhaps shouldn't have bothered, because it fails WP:ORG. Pontificalibus 12:07, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete Agreed, no WP:SIGCOV. We all make/made mistakes, particularly back when WP policy was less well defined and we were all less familiar with it. FOARP (talk) 13:04, 9 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: There has been some critical coverage around the organisation's closure: in Le Temps on 5 December, in 24heures (paywalled), and in a Forbes article on January 3. AllyD (talk) 14:41, 10 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. In addition to the sources found by AllyD, I found a few passing mentions, but not enough to meet WP:NORG. The article itself is badly written from a WP:MOS point of view, and sourced only to the org's own website. If this were an org that came close to meeting WP:NORG, it might be worth keeping and putting in the effort to fix the structural problems with the article, but it's not, so it's not. I'd have no objection to somebody writing a new article on this topic if they could find better sources (or even adopting this one in draft/user space to work on), but it's not worth keeping in its current state. -- RoySmith (talk) 15:14, 17 January 2019 (UTC)[reply]
