Tyler Foundation

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

This is supposedly about some non-profit organization that has existed for 5 years, but has only had some sort of vague press in the past few months. This page has been highly subject to COI violating edits by editors proven to be socks of each other and one account that has been blocked for possibly being paid to edit Wikipedia on the behalf of the organization. A large portion of this article is relying on passing mentions of the foundation on various Japanese news agencies and most of its daughter articles are all sourced to Discogs and primary sources. There is no coverage of this organization in the Japanese language as far as I can tell. I have used the name "タイラー基金" (which appears on the Japanese version of their website) and used the names of several major Japanese newspapers and have found nothing. This just appears to be some organization doing its damnedest to get itself known, without actually doing anything of note. —Ryulong (竜龙) 08:31, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- This IP is very likely a sockpuppet of the Tylershineon accounts, as the only other IPs to have ever edited the article are based in Israel.—Ryulong (竜龙) 19:45, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, I agree with User:Ryulong's rationale. There seems to be no real notability to this group. ♠PMC♠ (talk) 19:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete per nomination - seems to be the work of a persistent group trying to spam/advertise their group and recordings. MikeWazowski (talk) 20:35, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Comment The link to CNN page offers only a trivial mention. The rest is mainly from small local publications mentioning fundraisers. Questionable notability. MakeSense64 (talk) 21:40, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Delete, seems to be the work of some group trying to persistently advertise that organization. GrayFullbuster (talk) 00:38, 6 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

- And how is this relevant to the deletion discussion?—Ryulong (竜龙) 20:32, 8 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep the coverage is fine. You can click the Google news archive link and find even more. Dream Focus 08:25, 9 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Weak Keep this article has what looks like good coverage but the way it is written might need some changes and the part about the programs isn't necessary. This article needs cleanup, but is a keeper.Silent Bob (talk) 14:34, 11 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Keep Perhaps the article could use some polishing and trimming, but otherwise the Tyler Foundation is notable and documented by the references.--DThomsen8 (talk) 20:16, 13 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]
