BASIK

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

This article is about a charity that lacks the coverage necessary to establish notability. There is this local item from the newspaper Wharfedale where this charity is based, along with some other local coverage alread in the article, but that is insufficient to establish notability.

weak keep - having read the existing references, there appears to be marginal notability. Hopefully, the subject project will continue to grow as will the notability. Stormbay (talk) 00:44, 28 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, another reference has been added from this years fundraising activity and more will be over the coming months. The charity is growing! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chris Normington (talk • contribs) 18:13, 2 May 2012 (UTC) — Chris Normington (talk • contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

Comment There appears to be no further interest. Make a decision on the past debate. This one is suffering from dead horse syndrome. Stormbay (talk) 15:58, 10 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Delete This sounds like a great idea - a bunch of high school kids start a charity to build schools in Kenya - but it really hasn't gotten the required coverage to have an article here. All links at the article are from a hyperlocal news source. Google News Archive finds lots of stuff about the concept of "build a school in Kenya" but virtually all of it relates to other charities, particularly one in Canada. As for the word BASIK alone, it finds a few commercial uses but nothing at all about this well meant but very small charity. Maybe a paragraph about it could be added to the article about the village or the school where it originated. I would advise against a redirect, however, since there are so many better-known uses of the word BASIK. --MelanieN (talk) 18:12, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]

P.S. To convey a sense of just how small this is, virtually a private charity - four of the six members of the board of directors have the same last name. --MelanieN (talk) 18:22, 16 May 2012 (UTC)[reply]
