 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

All sources are PR or SPS. No coverage in reliable sources sufficiant to pass WP:GNG or WP:NORG J bh  Talk  14:16, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Update Based on sources presented by this nomination should now be seen as neither keep nor delete. I do not think the material is sufficient to pass ORGDEPTH but there is an argument to be made for passing GNG.  J bh  Talk  13:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Delete as nothing at all convincing for solid notability and this should've been PRODed had it been better reviewed. I know I would've tagged it as such. SwisterTwister   talk  23:47, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * You are right. I was checking a bunch of reviews by a new NPPer I came across and screwed up myself. duh. J bh  Talk  00:45, 14 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Comment thanks for noting those sources however, two of those stories are likely placed PR pieces.  KentOnline has a link Submit a story so I am disinclined to consider it RS. A single piece in The Telegraph is insufficient to satisfy WP:ORGDEPTH.   J bh  Talk  20:40, 1 June 2016 (UTC)


 * The KentOnline articles are both bylined articles written by a staff writer who is employed by the source; they are not user-submitted content. Many news sources provide "submit a story" types of pages, but this does not negate the reliability of news articles authored by publication staff. For example, see CNN's feedback page, where people can submit story ideas and news tips. Would this then disqualify all CNN articles and television news reports? Certainly not.

 * OK, my error, they had a PR'y whiff to them and I assumed from there. I am still not thrilled about the depth of coverage and that two of three articles are by the same reporter. Another article or two, particularly demonstrating coverage outside of five months in 2014 would make me feel better. At best I can say I am neutral on their inclusion and I will so note under my nomination statement. J bh  Talk  13:18, 4 June 2016 (UTC)

 * Keep The sources which Northamerica1000 has brought forward (The Telegraph, KM Group etc.) are beyond all doubt reliable, and cover the organization reasonably in-depth. I'm convinced that this article meets the requirements set out at WP:GNG.  Omni Flames  let's talk about it  08:12, 6 June 2016 (UTC)
