This article appears to be original research that builds upon a non-notable, non-binding framework by an NGO working group. Many of the sources cited do not mention the Minimum Standards (for example, refs 11 and 16). voorts (talk/contributions) 00:51, 13 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

First of all, this is not an NGO working group, rather this working group is composed of different international organisations, including UNICEF, UNHCR, IOM, IFRC, IRC and Save the Children. During humanitarian response, (e.g. Rohingya crisis), all the humanitarian crisis responding agencies, including national, international, and intergovernmental, follow these principles to ensure child protection and child safeguarding indeed. In terms of the references, the sources do not explicitly mention the standards at all, rather the sources are mentioned to explore the concepts, mentioned in the standards (e.g. reference 11 talks about justice for children and elaborates the necissity of Standard 14; reference 16 discusses about the protection of excluded childre ike children with disabilities and explains the gravity of Standard 18).

Wikipedia deletion policy WP:DEL-REASON (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Deletion_policy#Reasons_for_deletion) mentions 14 criteria and I believe this article does not meet the criteria for deletion. Janilin.bappi (talk) 04:53, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Point to a page number in sources 11 and 16 that mention the Minimum Standards. voorts (talk/contributions) 12:19, 14 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So, User:Janilin.bappi, you are arguing to Keep? Liz ^{Read! Talk!} 22:02, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes. It's a brief of the minimum standard of CPHA, which is globally practised. I believe it deserves to stay. Janilin.bappi (talk) 09:56, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

@Janilin.bappi: what do you mean by "it's a brief"? Wikipedia articles are meant to summarize what secondary sources have to say about a particular topic (see WP:NOR and WP:SS. I couldn't find mention of the CPHA in most of the sources you cited. voorts (talk/contributions) 12:39, 22 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In brief means a summary for your clarification. The references mentioned at the beginning of the relevant principles are provided for a deeper exploration of those issues. In the case of Standard 14 – Justice for Children, for example, related readings are not available on wiki yet. So, if readers want to explore the topic further, they can refer to the listed sources.

Delete - it's classic WP:SYNTH in that it uses more than one primary source, but no secondary sources that analyze it, yet cites to sources that don't actually mention the topic. Bearian (talk) 02:59, 20 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
Relisting comment: Relisting. We have one unbolded Keep here in the discussion. A source analysis would be helpful to a future closer.

Merge with another relevant page, perhaps Sexual exploitation and abuse in humanitarian response. First I want to commend those involved in this important work and those who are attempting to bring this to en.wiki. The problem as far as I see it is that the topic of child protection during humanitarian interventions clearly *is* notable, this action plan probably *isn't* as it hasn't been covered in depth by multiple independent sources. The solution would appear to be beefing up content at another page. Another possibility is to rename and refocus the current page as I'm sure there are high quality sources discussing the topic if not the action plan. Good luck to all those involved.
