deletion reason 8. sources are all primary, and don't contribute to notability. possibly reason 4 as well. ltbdl (talk) 11:42, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep - Notability is not the issue here, given the various humanitarian crises around the world today. This is Harvard's continuing outreach program to address the various crises. The issue is that all that all the sourcing is primary - Harvard's website. Hopefully, one or more editors here can help resolve the sourcing issue. — Maile (talk) 13:22, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]

- Delete: Notability is exactly the issue here, and the sole basis for determining whether a subject is worthy of a Wikipedia article; veteran editors with over a hundred thousand edits ought not need education on the subject. The proper response to "all the sources are primary, so we should keep this article in the hopes that someone, someday might get around to sourcing it" is to delete the article without prejudice, up until sometime someone wants to create a new article with reliable sources ... as should have been done as a prerequisite in the first place. This article was created sixteen years ago. It's been tagged for nine years. Time to shelve the "hopefully"s. Ravenswing 23:21, 5 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Delete unless sources are found for WP:GNG/WP:NORG. There could be a Harvard Initiative for Notability and Significance, but if Harvard were the only ones making note of it, it wouldn't be WP:NOTABLE. SilverLocust 💬 09:20, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
