Reasoning behind keeping (notability)[edit]

The parent organization, about which the article is focused, has gotten years of press coverage from a variety of sources, about the foundation of the organization, its mission, and its ongoing work. (Notability guideline #6)
Local chapters also receive much coverage within their communities (though for brevity and clarity that coverage has not been cited).
The scope of the organizations impact is large enough that multiple academic sources have written about it, as well as its social implications.
A disambiguation page already exists to clarify between the organization and the book of the same name, as well as an episode of Ugly Betty.

Notability criteria: reliability of sources[edit]

Notability guidelines require:

"significant coveerage" with no original research. This article has 9 sources; 0 are original research
"reliable" sources. This requirement is satisfied:
- 8/9 sources are reliable
- 4/8 are scholarly (academic)
- 2/8 are from mainstream news sources
- 2/8 are respected industry publications
"independent" of the topic: 8/9 sources are independent (one is a press release)
its form and content is line with the guidlines about what Wikipedia is not

Additional considerations: analysis of comparable articles[edit]

The founder of Dress for Success has founded or managed other organizations with similar socially-oriented missions (Crisis Text Line and Do Something), neither of which have been nominated for deletion. Moreover, the founder herself (Nancy Lublin) has an article that is not nominated for deletion. In the context of this cluster, and for the sake of editorial rigor and consistency, I argue for preserving this article as a stub or start-class article.

@Aolivex: It took me few months to get back to you, but I concur: sources like [1] are independent, and provides reliable, in-depth coverage of this NGO. I withdraw my notability concern. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 17:07, 25 December 2016 (UTC)[reply]
