{{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)}}
