Talk:French-American Foundation

Quest for notability

I'm trying to determine whether this article meets WP:Notability. My newspaper search resulted in oblique references to the organization, such as "funded by the French-American Foundation" or a "report released by the French-American Foundation", but nothing about the French-American Foundation. I'm continuing to look for such material. User:HopsonRoad 14:01, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

Having found one obscure reference, I have removed the Notability tag. However, I'm not satisfied that the citable material satisfies the criterion of significant coverage in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. User:HopsonRoad 14:46, 28 October 2015 (UTC)

@HopsonRoad: I added more information to the article, especially the Young Leaders program, with which I am more familiar. I added a number of sources, mostly in French. I guess that the foundation, and the Young Leaders program, just get more coverage in France than in the US (that would not make it less notable in the Wikipedia sense though). There are sources in English though, for instance with a quick search on Scholar (533 hits) and among mere citations and publications, I find on the first page a report centred on a "seminar of the French-American Foundation's Equality of Opportunity Program". Also this piece from Voices of NY. So I wouldn't say that the article is good or complete in its current state, but at least the subject meets WP:Notability.

@Place Clichy: Thank you very much for making that effort. I'm fine with articles in French to establish notability. Cheers, User:HopsonRoad 19:17, 29 October 2015 (UTC)
