This is a collection of discussions on the deletion of articles related to Behavioural science. It is one of many deletion lists coordinated by WikiProject Deletion sorting. Anyone can help maintain the list on this page.
- Adding a new AfD discussion
- Adding an AfD to this page does not add it to the main page at WP:AFD. Similarly, removing an AfD from this page does not remove it from the main page at WP:AFD. If you want to nominate an article for deletion, go through the process on that page before adding it to this page. To add a discussion to this page, follow these steps:
- Edit this page and add {{Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/PageName}} to the top of the list. Replace "PageName" with the relevant article name, i.e. the one on the existing AFD discussion. Also, indicate the title of the article in the edit summary as it is particularly helpful to add a link to the article in the edit summary. When you save the page, the discussion will automatically appear.
- You should also tag the AfD by adding {{subst:delsort|Behavioural science|~~~~}} to it, which will inform editors that it has been listed here. You may place this tag above or below the nomination statement or at the end of the discussion thread.
- There are a few scripts and tools that can make this easier.
- Removing a closed AfD discussion
- Closed AfD discussions are automatically removed by a bot.
- Other types of discussions
- You can also add and remove other discussions (prod, CfD, TfD etc.) related to Behavioural science. For the other XfD's, the process is the same as AfD (except {{Wikipedia:Miscellany for deletion/PageName}} is used for MFD and {{transclude xfd}} for the rest). For PRODs, adding a link with {{prodded}} will suffice.
- Further information
- For further information see Wikipedia's deletion policy and WP:AfD for general information about Articles for Deletion, including a list of article deletions sorted by day of nomination.

PROD was reverted by User:Randykitty on the basis that this foundation has won "an international prize" and is "well known". I am nominating for deletion because I believe it does not pass the bar of WP:NORG, due to lack of significant coverage by independent and reliable sources. बिनोद थारू (talk) 00:17, 25 December 2023 (UTC)

- Note: This discussion has been included in the deletion sorting lists for the following topics: Awards, Science, Behavioural science, and Psychology. Randykitty (talk) 00:30, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Comment: please cite more carefully, I didn't say "many prizes" (plural) but "an important international prize" (singular). The prize is quite prestigious but there's only one and usually only 1 recipient per year (2021 being an exception). --Randykitty (talk) 00:48, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Fixed. बिनोद थारू (talk) 01:16, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
- Reading correctly apparently is hard, I didn't say that the foundation had won a prize either... And in AfD debates, you don't chanage comments that have already been addressed by others, because that makes the discussion rather weird. Instead,
you strike the incorrect partsand then replace them. --Randykitty (talk) 08:37, 25 December 2023 (UTC)- I just changed it, I did not strike it out, then replace it. बिनोद थारू (talk) 02:05, 26 December 2023 (UTC)

- Keep. Foundation that administers a prestigious international award (the list of recipients is a virtually who's who in cognitive sciences), supports research by postdoctoral stipends and research grants, and organizes regular symposia that most of the time result in books published by major publishers and receiving positive reviews (perhaps a list should be added to the article). All this can be found using Google, but I have currently no time to add all that to the article. I have expanded it a bit and added some sources (some to the prestigious national french newspaper Le Monde) that are not surprisingly mostly in French. Unfortunately most are paywalled, but the tidbits provided for free suffice to se that these are in-depth and establish notability. WP:HEY. --Randykitty (talk) 14:23, 25 December 2023 (UTC)
Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.

- Comment. It would be good to present an example of significant coverage in the form of a excerpt. बिनोद थारू (talk) 01:20, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep - The above discussion is making me dizzy. I finally found the prod that said, "Does not meet the bar for WP:NCHARITY. Expect unopposed good-faith delete votes at AFD. (proposed by बिनोद थारू)" What I get from reading the foundation's home page is a lot more clear. "Mr. H. Fyssen created the Foundation state approved by March 21st, 1979" Financially supported 1320 scientists, published 45 books, awarded 43 prizes, etc. etc. etc. This foundation exists to support scientists. And more power to them. I get it. English language sources look OK to me. Wikipedia would do well to keep this article. — Maile (talk) 02:18, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
- Keep: This non profit passes WP:NORG. Macbeejack ☎ 07:46, 1 January 2024 (UTC)
