{{AFC comment|1=The subject-specific guideline that applies is [[WP:NWEB]]. The draft's lead says that according to ''The New York Times'', the database "is widely regarded as an authoritative reference for aid organisations and governments in assessing trends in security threats." Reliable sources frequently cite the database in its subject area, so I think the ''NYT'' is right. But my reading of [[WP:WEBCRIT]] is that web notability is not demonstrated by the database being cited frequently (unlike the guidelines for [[WP:PROF|academics]] and for [[WP:NMEDIA|newspapers, magazines, and academic journals]]). Instead, the database itself needs to be the subject of multiple, independent, non-trivial works.
:Examples of databases with such coverage include: [[Astrophysics Data System]], [[Combined DNA Index System|CODIS]], and [[ContactPoint]]. Wikipedia articles about web databases should not only describe the nature of the data they contain, but should describe them in an encyclopedic manner, offering detail on the database's achievements, impact or historical significance. The sort of coverage that would help would be an article about how an organization changed its behaviour because of the database, and thereby had some significant effect, perhaps improving aid worker security but worsening whatever woe the organization combats.

{{AFC comment|1=I'm on the fence about this. Most of the references are first-party, i.e. to the Humanitarian Outcomes and/or the database's own web sites.
Clearly, the NY Times article ("Attacks on Aid Workers Jump Worldwide, Group Says") is an excellent source, but it's the only one I see that is [[WP:RELIABLE]], [[WP:SECONDARY]], and [[WP:INDEPENDENT]]. My own searching comes up with lots of citations of the database, but just like those in the "Media Citations" section, they're basically just passing mentions.
If there were one or two more references of the quality of the NY Times piece, I'd say this is clearly something we should accept into mainspace. As it is, however, I have my doubts that it would survive [[WP:AfD]]. -- [[User:RoySmith|RoySmith]] [[User Talk:RoySmith|(talk)]] 20:36, 26 September 2019 (UTC)}}

== History ==
The AWSD was developed by Humanitarian Outcomes partners Abby Stoddard and Adele Harmer, then at [[New York University]]’s's Center on International Cooperation and the [[Overseas Development Institute]]’s's Humanitarian Policy Group, respectively. The first published research using this data was a 2006 report titled [https://www.odi.org/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-files/269.pdf ''Providing Aid in Insecure Environments'',], by Stoddard, Harmer, and a colleague, Katherine Haver.<ref>{{Cite journal|last=Stoddard|first=Abby|date=September 2006|title=Providing Aid in insecure environments: trends in policy and operations|url=https://www.odi.org/sites/odi.org.uk/files/odi-assets/publications-opinion-files/269.pdf|journal=HPG Report|volume=23|pages=1–66|via=ODI}}</ref> This report provided statistical analysis, finding attacks on aid workers worldwide nearly doubled between 1997 and 2005 in absolute terms, and rose by 20 percent in terms of per capita rates.
== Data ==
From the website, customizable search options allow for users of the data to download Excelas [[Comma-separated values|csv]] formatsfiles with relevantly sorted information.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aidworkersecurity.org/incidents|title=The Aid Worker Security Database, 1997-present {{!}} The Aid Worker Security Database|website=aidworkersecurity.org|access-date=2019-06-27}}</ref> An API is also available. The online dataset contains security incidents (attacks) from 1997 to present, and is updated in real time.
=== Parameters ===
[[Attacks on humanitarian workers|Attacks against aid workers]] recorded in the AWSD are defined as “major"major",” including intentional killings, kidnappings, serious sexual assault/rape, and attacks causing serious injury. The definition of an aid worker is also limited to those working in emergency contexts to provide [[Humanitarian aid|humanitarian relief]] (as opposed to political, developmental or other assistance). The aid worker victims are employees, or contractors and consultants, of [[Nonprofit organization|not-for-profit aid agencies]]. All organisations and victim names are kept confidential and not included in the public data. This choice was made because victim information is not available for all incidents, and those close to the victims may not wish to have the names published.<ref name="auto">{{Cite web|url=https://aidworkersecurity.org/about|title=About the data {{!}} The Aid Worker Security Database|website=aidworkersecurity.org|access-date=2019-06-27}}</ref> The information that is publicly available for each incident is as follows:<ref name="auto"/>
* Date of incident
* '''Media:''' using a media filtering tool developed as an internet data scraper for Humanitarian Outcomes
* '''Official report:''' provided directly by regional and global security entities/consortiums, or by aid organisations official reports/press releases
* '''Focal point:''' security personnel within organisations affected by an incident against a staff member. (Victim self-reporting is also put in this category)
=== Verification ===
Annually, all incidents from the previous year are comprehensively verified with agencies who work in the humanitarian sector, to ensure all the details are accurately reflected in the database. The team works with 100 NGO/INGO and UN agencies per year in order to confirm, update, and collect additional incident data, and to source additional incidents that may not have been previously captured via other means.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://aidworkersecurity.org/sites/default/files/AWSD%20Information%20(1).pdf|title=What is the AWSD?|last=Humanitarian Ouctomes|date=2019|website=|archive-url=|archive-date=|access-date=}}</ref> Each year the verified numbers are presented in the [https://aidworkersecurity.org/reports Aid Worker Security Report,], which is published on the Humanitarian Outcomes website and publicly available.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.humanitarianoutcomes.org/AWSDR2019|title=Aid Worker Security Report 2019 {{!}} Humanitarian Outcomes|website=www.humanitarianoutcomes.org|access-date=2019-06-27}}</ref> This verified data also supports and helps define the theme of the annual report, which is on a topic that is significant to the humanitarian community or highlighted by trends supported by the data. An easily digestible one-page fact sheet, [https://aidworkersecurity.org/reports ''Figures at Glance''],] is also usually published in August and highlights the findings from the previous years verified data.
=== Terms of Use ===
All incident data from the AWSD and all report material provided by the AWSD are in the theme of open data and not meant for any commercial purposes.<ref name="auto"/>
