This was tagged as G11, but the history relates that the article's been here for a few years, and I don't like axing articles that have been here for that long without some discussion. I site advertising/promotion as the reason to delete this article, given the way it currently reads, I would not be all that surprised if copyright or plagerism aspects were a factor too.

Comment - it is currently a bit spammish, but I think it can be re-written. Bearian (talk) 18:35, 15 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

seems like promotion for a website, trying to coin a new term themselves without any organic basis — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kmehrabi (talk • contribs) 00:51, 20 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Keep - The term Microgiving is a fairly common term in the world of Finance, particularly with regards to fundrasers. I think we should keep this one. --Kumioko (talk) 17:43, 27 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Redirect to Charitable_contribution. The term is real, and deserves some coverage, at Charitable_contribution#Types_of_Contributions, but it is used as a veneer to cover a non-notable company (see WP:CORP). At the target article, it may be justifiable to mention the company in passing. --SmokeyJoe (talk) 11:37, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Merge or delete. The article seems to conflate the concept with the eponymous specific implementation; the former could be notable, but the latter sounds like self-promotion. Merge it into microphilanthropy? --Joy [shallot] (talk) 13:38, 28 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
