Contrary to what one might think, this is not a geographical name (a Dutch region with an English name would probably be weird enough to be notable). FoodValley is according to its homepage a collaboration between 8 municipalities. The only (non-independent) sources available are two different homepages, a page on the website of the province financing the collaboration, and an abstract of a 1-year research project in a database of unclear importance/relevance (Narcis). No indication FoodValley has any notability whatsoever (note that the Dutch WP does not have an article either). Does not meet

- Keep. GNews turns up quite a few references to the Food Valley project in Dutch publications, especially De Gelderlander.[1] In a New Zealand paper I found a couple of related articles about a regional plan there to establish a similar collaborative organization, "Based on a project in the Netherlands known as Food Valley".[2][3] GBooks and GScholar also turn up substantial coverage of the Food Valley around Wageningen,[4][5], this one for example[6]. Some references also turn up in Italian, apparently about a similar project for a "food valley" (also named in English) around Parma. [7] --Arxiloxos (talk) 15:43, 30 March 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- Keep Per Arxiloxos. Added article from De Gelderlander. ]
