- I've changed your list to a numbered one for ease of reference. #2, #3, #4, #6, and #9 are broken. #1 doesn't give any useful information about Mapendo, except perhaps the name of its founder. It's really not about Mapendo at all. #5 is about Rose Mapendo, but contains no information about Mapendo International. #7 should be used to back up the claim about the Echoing Green Fellowship, and can justify some of the history. But I'm not sure about the quality of this source. #8 doesn't seem to have anything to do with Mapendo International. So, from what I've actually been able to look at, I still question Mapendo's notability. Can you find working links for the broken ones? Mangojuicetalk 16:16, 30 July 2008 (UTC)
I'm confused about why those links aren't working. If you copy and paste them from this editing page into the browser, they go through. Any suggestions? Also #4 is mostly about Rose as well, though if you wanted to look anyway, her story is told at minute 7:30. I think #6 would be a good source to back up the Draper Richards fellow and also justify some of the history, if we could get the link to work. I'm putting two others that could be good too. The first new link, which is # 10 on the list, is an interview with POV at PBS with Sasha, and he talks about some specific things Mapendo is doing. The second, #11, is a link a newsletter from the American Medical Resources Foundation announcing their collaboration to establish a clinic in Nairobi. I won't post anymore links, and I hope that, if we can get those others working, it will be enough. --R Wenger (talk) 15:18, 31 July 2008 (UTC)
- I think you may have them cached in your computer? Because you just posted 2 more broken links. It sounds like none of this is really about Mapendo anyway. Given the lack of usable sources, I've now proposed this for deletion. Mangojuicetalk 16:54, 4 August 2008 (UTC)
I've just added some more links to improve notability. R Wenger (talk) 16:41, 8 August 2008 (UTC)
