 * Keep Has significant coverage in english language. From the article, largest and only non-govermental shelter in the country as unique selling points Arved (talk) 19:01, 27 August 2020 (UTC)
 * Comment: What article? I don't find that information in the one non-self-published citation in the wiki article. Per WP:ORGCRITE, "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." and "Note that an individual source must meet all of these criteria to be counted towards notability. i.e. each source needs to be significant, independent, reliable, and secondary. In addition, there must be multiple such sources that qualify." None of the citations in the wiki article meet these criteria. And nothing I found with an online search meets those criteria, either.

 * User, please identify the "significant coverage in english language" that meets the requirements of the Wikipedia policy WP:SIGCOV. William Harris (talk) 09:13, 8 September 2020 (UTC)

 * WP:DAILYMAIL cannot be used, and a link to Yahoo is of no value to me. However, the other links are useful, thanks. William Harris (talk) 09:10, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Delete . Two of the references in the article are from the organisation's website, which is not an independent source. The other reference is based on an interview with a staff member and information supplied by the organisation, all three do not meet the requirements of WP:SIGCOV.

 * Keep; Has coverage in the English language. --Whiteguru (talk) 11:55, 4 September 2020 (UTC)
 * Avail yourself to the Wikipedia policy WP:NOTABILITY - a statement of "coverage in the English language" doesn't cut it. There needs to be significant coverage of the topic WP:SIGCOV and not simply a mention. William Harris (talk) 07:51, 5 September 2020 (UTC)

 * User I did not refer to WP:SIGCOV; the significant comment came from Arved. --Whiteguru (talk) 10:40, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
 * I referred to SIGCOV - that is the basis for establishing WP:NOTABILITY, which is the basis for keeping or deleting an article. You have stated that the article has coverage; you will need to demonstrate significant coverage as per WP:SIGCOV, else your "Keep" appears to have been made on a whim and is invalid (not to mention wasting other editor's time here). <b style="color:dimgray">William Harris</b><b style="color:dimgray"> (talk)</b> 08:49, 9 September 2020 (UTC)

 * Weak Keep - It's a tough one, but between the Bulgarian and English sources there looks like there might be enough to meet GNG. Apparently this is an organization involved in a variety of animal welfare activities, including operating the largest shelter in Bulgaria. There are several hits on Novinite.com. is the best one, but also e.g.  and shorter mentions in seemingly dozens of other animal welfare articles. There's some coverage of its endorsement by Kellan Lutz. There's Sofia Globe, some local tv news coverage, Go Guide Bulgaria... It's not a slam dunk, but there's enough here, combined with enough hints at more sources in Bulgarian (which I do not speak) that I fall on the side of weak keep. &mdash;  Rhododendrites  <sup style="font-size:80%;">talk \\ 19:04, 8 September 2020 (UTC)
