Council for Arab-British Understanding

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Lacks significant coverage in reliable independent sources, and so fails WP:GNG. Alexbrn talk 12:58, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Keep, no it doesn't. See By the end of the seventies, with an inclination of British policy towards the Arabs, CAABU's image in Whitehall had improved somewhat, and its headquarters had been visited by the foreign secretary. ... CAABU, on the other hand, has been more succesful in gaining media support., The Council for Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU), under the Directorship of Michael Adams, includes MPs, Professors and businessmen. CAABU was founded after the June war to promote understanding., Chief among the pro-Arab organizations is the Council for the Advancement of Arab-British Understanding (CAABU). Its present executive committee of nineteen includes six serving Members of Parliament. In its ranks are distinguished..., Two major factors have helped the Arabs: the events during and after the Yom Kippur war, and the existence of articulate bodies here like the Council for the Advancement of the Arab- British Understanding (caabu)., CAABU has played its part, for over thirty years, in creating a much wider awareness..., etc., etc.. --Soman (talk) 17:00, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, like you I found lots of passing mentions. But nothing that "addresses the topic directly and in detail" as WP:GNG requires. Or have I missed something? Alexbrn talk 18:53, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * No, those are not passing mentions. They are clear indicators of notability. Nor are these the only results out there. Please go through WP:BEFORE on the steps to be taken before initiating an AfD. --Soman (talk) 19:15, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * We're not in need of "indicators of notability" (whatever that means) but good sources which directly and in detail address the topic. Is there even one such source? If so, what is it? Alexbrn talk 20:16, 16 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, plenty. Read above. --Soman (talk) 20:39, 16 July 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep - The very first link provided by Soman covers the CAABU over several pages; well beyond a mere mention. Other links have snippet views, but based on the snippet views, are more than just a passing mention. -- Whpq (talk) 06:55, 21 July 2014 (UTC)
