I don't believe this breaks the threshold for notability per WP:WEB. The sources and links given are self-referential except for one review of a photo-sharing service provided by the site. WP:WEB says sources must be multiple and non-trivial. RJASE1 Talk  23:59, 6 March 2007 (UTC)
 * I think the criteria may not be applicable here, or for similar services. If the number of participants can be confirmed, I think this is sufficient for notability. Time we recognized reality about web services in general. DGG 09:31, 7 March 2007 (UTC)


 * Keep - they quote nearly 7 million members. This makes it notable.  Some independent references should be added Peter Campbell 12:32, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Weak keep. Notable enough as they are the group behind several popular internet "activist" sites, but needs independent sources.  Dragomiloff 23:17, 7 March 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. A number of Google News references for the group.  Also, despite WP:BIGNUMBER, which I agree with in principle, 7 million is a large enough number to confer notability.  If all else fails (although I don't think this is the case here), WP:IAR should cover this: the inclusion of an organisation with a membership of 7 million is certainly beneficial to the building of an encyclopedia.  I will try to improve the article with independent references by the close of the AFD, but can make no promises (as the close-date is in 14 hours).  If closed as keep, I will still try to improve it with sources. -- Black Falcon 09:44, 10 March 2007 (UTC)
