[edit] Nashville Homeless Power Project

Nashville Homeless Power Project (edit|talk|history|links|watch|logs) (delete) – (View log)

Delete. Fails WP:ORG criteria of eligibility for non-commercial organizations, which reads:

Organizations are usually notable if the scope of activities are national or international in scale. Endless Dan 15:18, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep. This is a local group, but it has coverage in multiple reliable sources, and therefore passes the general notability criterion. --Eastmain (talk) 18:47, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
  • Nothing in this article demonstrates that this organization has established independent notability. It's a noble cause, but what makes this organization more noteworthy over another homeless rights organization in any town or a larger city? --Endless Dan 19:09, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
    • Secondary coverage in reliable sources, per general notability and organization notability guidelines. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 23:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. Keep in mind that articles do not assert notability, the sources available for the subjects do that. And the sources speak for themselves. Celarnor ^{Talk to me} 23:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
• Weak Delete I don't agree with the nom interpretation of the WP:ORG policy. Even the sentence quoted doesn't express national or international reach as a hard threshold for notability. The general thesis is that implied notability is reached at that point. But it doesn't seem as though this article is notable enough to support the argument I would make in this case. Protonk (talk) 23:33, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

• Keep per user Celarnor. The sources are now there to indicate that the organisation is mentioned widely. Therefore, verifiable through reliable sources which indicate notability regardless of entity, and I can't see why WP:ORG should be allowed to muddy this primary fulfilled requirement. Whether it's person, group, subject or organisation, if the references are valid and complete per WP:VERIFY, and notability is confirmed through that process, no prejudication on grounds of the article's subject matter should over-ride the basic qualification necessary in all WP articles.

• Delete. Non-notable political advocacy organization specific to Nashville, Tennessee. Fails WP:ORG. KleenupKrew (talk) 09:47, 20 April 2008 (UTC)
• Keep. This is a very notable organization that has had numerous articles written about it. Note that the ORG criteria also states: "Organizations whose activities are local in scope are usually not notable unless verifiable information from reliable independent sources can be found. The organization’s longevity, size of membership, or major achievements, or other factors specific to the organization may be considered." There are currently two reliable independent sources cited in the article (one being the International Herald Tribune), and I'm sure if you give it time more will be added.
