non notable - seems spamish and the creator appears to have a conflict of interest. noq (talk) 23:44, 3 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep The article has been expanded and sources provided now. I am now happy for it to stay. noq (talk) 06:49, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete, seems rather non-notable. Given that the creator is called ProjectEnteprise, it is most likely an attempt at self-promotion, therefore violates WP:COI. Sorry. Lord Spongefrog, (I am a flesh-eating robot) 12:44, 4 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

So if I just used the address and name Project Enteprise, but am not affiliated personally, does that still mean that it should be deleted? I created this page because it is a program that is notable and its affiliates such as Muhammad Yunus and the Grameen Foundation are listed in wikipedia. Project Enterprise is one of the oldest microfinance organization in the US. Microfinance is an increasingly popular concept and Project Enteprise is based on the Grameen Model. One cannot talk about the Grameen model of microfinance in the US without having Project Enterprise be a part of the discussion. The organization and their clients have been covered in the media in numerous outlets. —Preceding unsigned comment added by ProjectEnteprise (talk • contribs) 17:44, 8 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Keep ~~or merge~~ ~~to Grameen Bank~~. This project was spun off that bank in 1997. There is actually significant coverage in multiple reliable sources, so deleting because of a potential COI seems to be cutting our nose off to spite our face as it's a notable subject. The article creator already provided two references, here's a few more: [1][2][3][4]. Fences&Windows 01:47, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Delete per using Wikipedia for self-promotion. ArcAngel (talk) 04:27, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

That's not a reason for deletion. I've rewritten the article and added in reliable sources; why delete an article that meets inclusion criteria? That's just spiteful. Fences&Windows 05:10, 10 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
