While the article and references demonstrate the notability of microfinance and the reality of poverty in rural China, the online references do NOT demonstrate in any way the notability (or even verify the activities) of the subject of the article. Specifically, the only ones that discuss the organization itself (at least, in English) are the organization's own pages. The other references (New York Times, etc.) do not mention Wokai at all. The main contributor's edits to Wikipedia seem to be very narrow, so there is no track record of identifying important but thinly referenced organizations that would lead to giving the benefit of the doubt.

- keep hello, additional external references from authorities on poverty in rural china that directly reference wokai were omitted from the references list. There is some debate whether these should be included in the revised posting. A list of these references is now posted on the wokai talk page —Preceding unsigned comment added by KDguac (talk • contribs) 06:24, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
- KDguac, please see my comments to you on your talk page. For everyone else, I would simply note that those references do not reflect, even in aggregate, "significant coverage in reliable sources" as suggested in WP:GNG. Bongomatic (talk) 06:47, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
