rest of the article. You say you placed the notability tag so that "the author would improve the article". To me, this is a misuse of the tag, which should be added to articles whose topic does not warrant an article at all. Or do you honestly believe that the global peak body of Deaf people is not notable enough? Articles on wikipedia do not have a single author - you're an author too! Perhaps you could find some sources? In the meantime, a "sources needed" tag is surely adequate.

Olympics. By comparison, the 2016 U.S. presidential election and 2036 Summer Olympics are not considered appropriate article topics because nothing can be said about them that is verifiable and not original research. Predicted line-ups of sporting teams on a week-by-week basis or in future events are inherently unverifiable and speculative. A schedule of future events may be appropriate.

The organisation has been referenced in countless media sources, not to mention publications of the UN, UNESCO, the ILO and WHO, with which it has consultative status.
444:, you have twice added tags suggesting you believe this article is non-notable, and have twice removed content about a forthcoming event. Let's discuss it. Firstly, in reference to the forthcoming event, you've referred to the "wikipedia is not a crystal ball" guideline. I think you misunderstand the guideline, which refers to

This is not an article about the 16th WFD congress - it about the WFD, and simply states that the year and host city of the next congress have been confirmed (it was voted on at the last congress).

Secondly, if you suggest that the WFD is not notable enough to warrant an article, then state why. Nominate the article for deletion even! Slapping on a "not notable" tag is not helpful. I suspect your concern is actually about sources, which is fair enough, and is why I didn't remove the "sources

Thanks. I'm not sure how to respond without simply repeating my comments above; I feel that they already address your concerns. The fact that the last WFD congress voted for Durban to be the host city for the next congress is not speculation; it's hard data. Yes, it needs a reference, as does the

I can NOT emphasize this enough. There seems to be a terrible bias among some editors that some sort of random speculative 'I heard it somewhere' pseudo information is to be tagged with a 'needs a cite' tag. Wrong. It should be removed, aggressively, unless it can be sourced. This is true of all
470:
In reverse order, yes I did place a "notability" tag on this article so that the author would improve the article. I feel that's better than nominating an article for deletion with no warning. You're correct I noted it such because the only reference is a self-reference which is not acceptable

I am pretty sure that under the "Presidents" part, which lists Collin Allen, the link for his article is wrong. I am quite certain that the deaf president of the international foundation is not a famous 80 years old drummer. I'm not a wikipedian, just stumbled upon this and thought it was odd.
