Speedy deletion nomination of Global Development Institute

Hello GDI UoM,

I wanted to let you know that I just tagged Global Development Institute for deletion, because it seems to be inappropriate for a variety of reasons.

If you feel that the article shouldn't be deleted and want more time to work on it, you can contest this deletion, but please don't remove the speedy deletion tag from the top.

You can leave a note on my talk page if you have questions. Nicky mathew (talk) 11:39, 24 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
