This article fails to establish notability - subject of this article fails WP:GNG - sources in the article lead to the company's website - other sources / external links consist of links to unreliable & questionable sources and dead links. The contributions of the article creator suggest that he created the article for promotional purposes. Amsaim (talk) 09:42, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete. Non-notable organisation with sources mainly from self-published materials plus one or two minor newspaper mentions. Hardly encyclopaedic. Two associated articles Onwutalobi Anthony-Claret and African Students Convention 2005 have been PRODed on similar basis also I am pleased to see. Note that a number of sockpuppets of O.A-C regularly prop this up also that English Wikisource deleted material associated with this walled garden in March.[1] –Moondyne 13:31, 30 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think the organization should be deleted. The organization has created impart in the society and are famous more than the following organization listed below. This listed organization have permanence in Wikipedia and are poorly written why are we fighting hard to remove this particular one. The idea to remove this project stem from Martin H who has been working hard to get it removed. maybe we need to know what forms his bias. check all related project below and tell me why this particular debated project need to be removed. I think it is prejudice. This organisation events have appeared in different newspapers and asuch it is credible. remember the sources must not neccesary be online for credibility. I have seen that printed version of the events has been include on wiki common for references. Please check the following similar organizations below and judge for yourself if this project should be deleted and why? since this sample project are far less credible than this.

The organisation should not be deleted. I attended their workshop last week. They are credible. You can check with the patent Registry and some Finnish media. Xuci-p (talk) 15:06, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- @128.214.11.163: Its not my "idea" to remove it but to disburden the whole group of related articles (founder, organization, magazine, event) from spam and self-manifestation. The most immodest edits are already removed: wikisources and this edit, also in the past it was removed (Note the capital letter "N"). Its however correct that in my opinion there is nothing to rewrite here but the only possible way to remove all spam is to delete it. One point I mentioned already is that it is not even clear nor backed up by sources how many members etc Codewit Global network has. Organizing one or two student events with a bunch of students isnt notable, many people did something like this including myself. The work of the organization shows some dependency on the place of residence of the founder, Onwutalobi Anthony-Claret, in Malaysia in the past and in Finland today. The conclusion is simple: This is a non-notable one man show trying to gather notability and recognition with a Wikipedia article. The founder appears to be an ambitious young man but Wikipedia is not the platform to make him famous or to spread his thoughts and ideas. Also Wikimedia projects are not a place to make someone a writer/novelist in public perception that he not was before he self-published some texts in wiki sources. I see much abuse of our projects here. --Martin H. (talk) 15:46, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
- Comment: Primary editor has claimed on the article's talk page that reliable sources exist in offline newspapers. While it will be hard for us to evaluate, I think we should at least give the author a few more days to try and get that information added. Qwyrxian (talk) 21:40, 1 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
