 * Speedy Keep. A quick Google search turns up innumerable sources. Obviously meets WP:GNG. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 04:25, 6 March 2015 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable per WP:GNG. A google search turns up "innumerable sources", User:Tchaliburton? That's strange, because for me it only turns up seven hits: four to the organisation's own sites, one to our article, one to facebook, and one to twitter. It's actually hard to get as few hits as that on Google. Bearian's "lots of potential sources" are to the organisation's press releases. This is a self-sourced article. Delete with prejudice.

 * I'm not sure what you're searching for, Bishonen, but I get tens of thousands of results. Start with these:

 * I searched for "Children's Wish Foundation of Canada", what did you search for? I'm not really impressed by the "depth of coverage" (see WP:ORG) in your newspaper articles, most of them local, but I could certainly be mistaken about how much is required. They're better than the press releases at Bearian's link . Bishonen &#124; talk 20:19, 7 March 2015 (UTC).
 * I searched for "Children's Wish Foundation of Canada". There are literally thousands of stories like this. I just picked a few at random. I have no idea why you can't find any. Per WP:CORPDEPTH " If the depth of coverage is not substantial, then multiple[1] independent sources should be cited to establish notability." That's what we have here. And when we have coverage in hundreds of local newspapers in different markets it's not local, it's clearly widespread. T.C.Haliburtontalk nerdy to me 06:33, 8 March 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep More than enough coverage in newspapers & other sources to pass GNG.
