This article reads like a how-to guide. It explicitly addresses the reader ("you can save a life"). Its sources provide examples, but do not address effective giving in general. Some pretty significant claims (for example about "the overwhelming inefficiency that has plagued professional athletes’ personal charities in recent history") are unsourced. In short, the article as it stands is a mess in violation of multiple guidelines and policies, in particular WP:NOT, WP:V, WP:NPOV and the manual of style. It needs either outright deletion or a complete rewrite based on reliable sources that actually cover the subject. Huon ( talk) 23:45, 2 September 2012 (UTC)
I'm proposing a merger into the Effective Altruism page. I think all the content could simply be added in.
'Effective altruism' is the more established term among active people in the movement (e.g., Peter Singer's TED talk).
