Article creator seems to have a undisclosed WP:COI with the subject, having only made edits about the subject. Also, the coverage as it stands seems to be only about one event (wherein, the nonprofit's founder builds a library at Newark airport). What i'm concerned about is - there's no WP:SIGCOV about the organization itself. SIGCOV requires that the subject is discussed directly and in depth. The sources about the subject seem to only be about the founder and her starting a library at Newark airport, but not about the organization itself - which is what the article is about. I think it is WP:TOOSOON for a article just this very moment. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 14:56, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete I also thought this was likely a COI piece, but tried to put that aside. I agree there's no WP:SIGCOV about the organization itself. The articles referenced only briefly mention it. Curb Safe Charmer (talk) 18:38, 2 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Comment: I was the AfC reviewer who accepted this article. When I reviewed the draft, I found that it met WP:THREE, with coverage from ABC7NY (Feb 2024), NorthJersey.com (Feb 2024), and NJ Urban News (Apr 2025), which represents a reasonable level of sourcing for a small nonprofit. The tone is neutral, the facts are verifiable, and I did not see any promotional language or signs of an undisclosed conflict of interest. Even if the creator has a connection to the subject, WP:COI by itself is not grounds for deletion. What matters is whether the article meets notability and content policies. Assuming that every well-written submission from a new editor is a COI would discourage good-faith contributions, which goes against the spirit of Wikipedia.

The subject of the article has received coverage, but it does not necessarily determine that the subject warrants a Wikipedia article. A few sources, like the ABC 7 NY one [1], are mostly interview and simply lack any secondary coverage about the organization itself. But there's one important detail that's consistent throughout the sources/coverage about the subject - they fail to establish WP:SIGCOV about the organization itself, which is the subject of this article. There's no secondary, in-depth commentary about the organization, which is what a organization needs to pass WP:GNG and/or WP:NORG. No prejudice against re-creation in the future when the organization receives WP:SIGCOV. It's just WP:TOOSOON at the moment. WormEater13 (talk • contribs) 13:15, 3 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Delete - Great human interest story, I enjoyed reading it. Not seeing the coverage here to meet WP:GNG, let alone the stricter standard of WP:NORG; none of the sources contain SIGCOV of the organization. Suriname0 (talk) 15:45, 5 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]
