Redirect to Max Planck Society. For some reason we have editors who undo redirects and then do nothing to improve the articles they leave behind. This was a redirect until a few days ago and that’s how it should stay unless someone is satisfied it’s independently notable and willing to do the work to bring the article up to standard.

Redirect per the above. It's not likely to be independently wiki-notable apart from the Max Planck Society, but it is a thing that people might search for, due to agreements about paying publication fees and the like [1][2][3][4]. XOR'easter (talk) 20:31, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Redirect as others have said. Not enough evidence it's notable for a standalone article. -Kj cheetham (talk) 22:31, 17 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
I have updated the article with a few secondary sources. There are many more Secondary Sources. Please let me know if more are needed. -iosifpeterfi (talk) 16:41, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
- The sources currently in the article appear to be basically press releases from organizations affiliated with the MPDL, explaining how they have affiliated themselves with the MPDL. Those aren't secondary or independent coverage, really. XOR'easter (talk) 22:26, 19 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Merge this three-paragraph stub to Max Planck Society. There's enough room there to add a few lines. At worst, Redirect but in any case, do not delete. Pichpich (talk) 19:39, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]
