Not notable organization. No ghits. A person other than the creator removed the db tag. However, the article has been deleted twice in the last couple of days per A7. The person who removed the tag also has a speedy deletion notice on their talk page. So, this seems like a speedy delete to me but I wanted to follow the delete rules per the current version.

Delete per nom. Editor that removed the speedy tag appears to be the creator of the original article that was speedy deleted earlier. It was then re-created by another editor and was speedy deleted. 2nd editor recreated, the article was tagged and the first editor removed the tag. Talk page claims it to be a national organisation but supplies no references. noq (talk) 18:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Keep - The organization seems to be legitimate with noble goals. User promised to expended it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmin morocco (talk • contribs) 19:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC) — Jasmin morocco (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment: The organisation does not appear to exist outside of Wikipedia. Where do you find it "seems to be legitimate"? noq (talk) 19:24, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: It was published in Arabic. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jasmin morocco (talk • contribs) 21:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why would an organization with an English name, from an American university, publish in Arabic? If you can give us the Arabic transliteration, we might be able to find some Arabic hits. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Strong keep- the organization is affiliated with several universities located in EU. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Peter Wolinsky (talk • contribs) 19:40, 29 August 2009 (UTC) — Peter Wolinsky (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]

Comment: If it is so well known, I would expect something on google. It seems funny that both keeps are by users who have not edited before. Are you aware WP:SOCKPUPPET? noq (talk) 19:45, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

- DePaul University is not in the EU. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 23:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nom. NN organization. - Crockspot (talk) 20:15, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Delete the article created too much controversy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by White skyconnection (talk • contribs) 20:25, 29 August 2009 (UTC) — White skyconnection (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. [reply]
Delete (from the author of this article) thanks to all of you. Indeed, the article created too much controversy. I think most of the people do not like to hear about peace and tolerance--it is too boring. Instead, they like to read about violence, and sectarian wars. Please delete this article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee Bernet (talk • contribs) 20:33, 29 August 2009 (UTC) — Lee Bernet (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

The discussion is about notability and references, not the intent of the organization. I don't think anyone has said anything negative about the aims of this group. Clubmarx (talk) 20:38, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: Dear user, it is easy to kill every project if somebody desires to do so. I wrote in the discussion board that I will provide the necessary reference within the next three days or so. Regardless of that, you and one more user constantly opposed the article and nominated it for deletion. After all, it is comfortable to sit in front of the PC 24/7 and criticize projects created by others, and it is difficult to create something by yourself. A bit of good will would be here more helpful. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Lee Bernet (talk • contribs)

Speedy Delete – No Ghits, GNEWS, or references to support article. ttonyb1 (talk) 21:47, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Speedy delete, there are zero Ghits outside of Wikipedia and a mirror. Bad Faith socks notwithstanding. Who then was a gentleman? (talk) 22:59, 29 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
