Fails notability requirement. Was previously deleted and brought back for no clear reason. Organization appears inactive Plainsong43 (talk) 13:01, 1 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Comment; this wasn't nominated before. User above PRODed the article in 2015; this was later undone - see User_talk:Rjd0060/Archive_11#JUCCCE_.2F_Joint-US_China_Collaboration_on_Clean_Energy. I personally fail to understand the nominator's bare bones reason to nominate. A perfunctory search yielded dozens of sources about this.

It was PRODed (and endorsed by me) in 2014. The page was deleted and it was undone almost one year later in 2015, based on this discussion. The page was restored by Rjd0060 without restoring its talk page. The article was after that cleaned-up by AdventurousMe but it still seems to be problematic.

Comment:Previous deletion followed the proper procedure. The second paragraph of the article highlights the founder's translation of a Thomas Friedman article as the organization's most notable achievement. I don't think that meets the standard. Article says organization's mission is to "convene ... stakeholders," which sounds like PR jargon. Another major achievement was "revolutionized China's electric grid," which also sounds like PR because I see no evidence that any such "revolution" actually occurred. Based on its website, JUCCCE appears to have zero paid employees. Project descriptions are vague. Latest update to website's News section is an article about a July 4 party organized by the US consulate in 2015. Next most recent event was a "loosely structured discussion that invited the participants to reminiscence over their favourite past-time activity in their hometown" at a Shanghai restaurant. Media sources used as evidence of notability in User_talk:Rjd0060/Archive_11#JUCCCE_.2F_Joint-US_China_Collaboration_on_Clean_Energy are profiles of founder Peggy Liu, adding to the impression that the organization (and this article) are primarily a PR platform for her. I'd assess differently if there were media coverage of the alleged "revolution of China's energy grid" or other concrete achievements, rather than puff pieces about the founder. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Plainsong43 (talk • contribs) 06:30, 5 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Delete No substantial coverage in reliable sources. The sources in the article are either unreliable or trivial mentions. GeoffreyT2000 (talk) 01:20, 6 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
