Proposed deletion of ISITEP

The article ISITEP has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non-notable ephemeral project. No independent sources.As usual for such EU-funded projects, a WP article is created by a SPA, full of wonderful promises about what the project will accomplish, anyday now, really. Article full of gobbledygook, low on real content. Lots of name-dropping with an impressive-sounding list of participants. This is less impressive than it seems: If I get a grant from the EU tomorrow, it will not be me signing the agreement, but my employer. Still, it's just poor old me running the project. Brief projects like this rarely get notable, even if their products sometimes are (in which case we should have an article on the product with a line about the funding, not that this is the case here).

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion.

• @Pokas it: While it is nice that you created the article ISITEP for us, it would be even more helpful if you could help a bit doing some contextualization work around the article which currently is an WP:Orphan. Without contextualization, the article might well be deleted and all your efforts are lost. Does your organization's time budget allow for the creation of a nice article on Public Protection and Disaster Relief? Regards, --PanchoS (talk) 11:13, 4 March 2015 (UTC)

• I'm sorry that your article was deleted and would have supported its preservation. But if you'd really cared you would have answered when I spoke up to you. That's how a community works. So too bad, now it is gone. Regards though, --PanchoS (talk) 09:30, 17 March 2015 (UTC)
