634:, thank you - but I do worry because I suppose I quibble a bit with the guidelines. The phrase "significant coverage", if taken to the extreme, means that popular topics get on wiki, and important topics may not. I became a wiki editor around the time I met Donna Strickland and learned that she failed to get a wiki page - as wiki editors did not believe she was important/notable. So I routinely choose important institutions and individuals (mostly women) who may not be popular. Botany, for example, is not as popular as zoology. It does not sell newspapers - and a page I made about a botanist was nominated for deletion - it was hard to push back. So too with land conservation. Coverage tends to be from within. It isn't that I want to be a wiki editor for the sake of being an editor. I'm trying to make sure important topics are covered - specifically related to climate change - and also to ensure the achievements of women and marginalized groups are featured.

who participate in the government program. Nature
Conservancy of Canada is the largest and Ducks Unlimited is pretty big. You've also got the three provincial umbrella land trusts, with OLTA being probably the largest. Land conservation is by its nature "local" - you can't conserve land outside your geographic boundaries. But through OLTA, UNESCO reserves are being conserved (Niagara Escarpment), and Canada's biodiversity treaty commitments being met. I created the thumbnail page first and invited others to add content. No one else did so - so I have supplemented and linked to the member groups. I would like to ensure the Project Drawdown page links to OLTA or OLTA members as a Land Sink. Critical to the fight against Climate Change. If Wiki wants to inform readers about wilderness conservation in Canada, I don't think it can do so without pages for the land trusts and umbrella organizations.

regional conservation umbrella organizations, then the main land trusts like Nature
Conservancy Canada and Ducks Unlimited. Canada and Ontario give conservation grants through OLTA. If it's a quasi-government institution - a public institution - I can't see why it's not notable. I would really appreciate revisions rather than removing content from wiki, which is necessary to educate the public.

article, but not one on this organization in particular. Most of the sources are discussing the organization in discussions of larger conservation issues. I feel for these types of organizations because by their nature for the most part the coverage will be "Organization X received a grant to do Y"
357:
Hi there, I hope I have included enough links now to additional sources. I edit on Wiki occasionally - and noticed land conservation in Canada has very little presence on Wiki. Most land conservation is happening with the support of the
Canadian & provincial governments, through Charities/NGOs
433:
Okay I added a couple of more. OLTA is a quasi-government organization. It distributes federal and provincial conservation funds. Even without news coverage, the organization is part of Canada's conservation apparatus - and as the umbrella organization of many notable organizations, cannot not be

Hi again - it seems somewhat absurd to me that this page is being considered for deletion - still. When I first created the page, I included just a thumbnail. Since then, I have added news and other links demonstrating this is an important conservation organization in Canada. Perhaps the original
587:
As the person who created the article, I have no conflict. I have no personal relationship with OLTA. I noticed that Wiki has almost no information about land conservation in Canada. To fix this, wiki needs to have information about the 2 treaties mentioned, information about ECAN, then the 3
640:
On this particular topic, the questioning of OLTA's notability confuses me because OLTA is basically part of the
Ontario government. It's how Ontario is doing land conservation. So even if no one were writing about OLTA in the news, it should be here. I note the guidelines re: government
