Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Georgetown University Lecture Fund
First let me say that we're not a platform for any sort of transparency. Just as we're not a forum for someone to push personal viewpoints, we're also not a forum for someone to use to show transparency or the lack thereof. If I may be so blunt, I'm not sure what transparency could be gained if the entire entry has been created by someone involved with the group. If all it takes to show transparency is an entry on a non-GU website, then I fail to see why this couldn't have been set up on some random wiki site that's not Wikipedia. As far as notability goes, there's nothing here to show that this fund has any notability separate from Georgetown University. There's plenty of mentions of the fund in relation to other things, but it hasn't been the focus of any substantial and in-depth coverage from any paper/news agency other than some of the school papers. That's not enough. Since redirects are cheap and the fund is briefly mentioned in the GU article, this could be redirected there but it does not at this time pass notability guidelines in order to merit an article. But like I said above, we're not some forum to prove one thing or another to any audience. We collect things that are notable per our guidelines. If the fund was notable outside of its association with GU then it'd merit it's own article, but it's not and we're not a personal website to post various promotional bits on. Arguments such as , , and any variation of promotion is not what Wikipedia is for
