Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Philosothon (2nd nomination)
Yes, this article does need improvement. It doesn't meet Wikipedia's guidelines in some respects. But I think we should look at "does it add value to Wikipedia", since the original intent of the notability and COI and promotional policies were to prevent Wikipedia from becoming a personal soapbox, advertising platform, or a collection of unverified material. With the number of sources it has, it does meet : it has some substantial coverage (not a lot, but I think enough for inclusion), and while it's promotional as is, I think it'd require, as Sydney stated above, a rework, not a rewrite. But the subject of the article is notable enough to be included in Wikipedia, and I feel this article does add to Wikipedia (just a little bit, just like all the five million articles on their own: small as a whole but as a sum a huge collection of human knowledge and ideas). And since the promotional content could be cleaned up rather than requiring a true rewrite, it's certainly worth saving the article. Most likely, the cleanup would involve a lot of content deletion - but there's certainly some sources that would make this a still-notable article, though perhaps more of a stub- or start-class article (and I don't feel like that's a bad thing - that's how many articles start
