Citizens for Health

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

PROD removed by article creator. Longtime advocacy group that fails the test for multiple, non-trivial sources about the subject, in which there is only one via Bloomberg that I've been able to find. Thargor Orlando (talk) 18:58, 9 September 2013 (UTC)


 * Per Wikipedia Policy, I removed the box raising the issue of notability after making further edits and expanding the article. For more than two decades the group has been cited multiple times in every major media in the United States, from the major networks, newspapers and blogs. It has testified to Congress and to the FDA, and has been an active and -- whether one agrees with their views -- notable voice in the health policy debate. Moreover, if one searches Wikipedia for other public policy groups (try using "citizens for"), this group appears to fall within the parameters defined for notability. The citations in the article include the NY Times, the Chicago Tribune, The La Times, ABC News, and numerous other blogs and legitimate news outlets.  That the group is making news is notable enough.  But there have been numerous articles and blogs "about the group," including two included in the Wikipedia article.Wanderingaroundaimlessly (talk) 19:09, 9 September 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep per WP:NGO, existing sources in article confirm #1 and #2. I'm confident more sources can be added if needed, an established and well known advocacy group in the US. -- Green Cardamom (talk) 06:37, 11 September 2013 (UTC)
