Lacking evidence of WP:GNG notability. The citations are largely to themselves or to a particular lawsuit they were involved in, but not about the org. Bri (talk) 17:43, 11 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete Per above. Lacks wider notability. Fatty wawa (talk) 03:55, 12 April 2017 (UTC)

This organization is indeed notable, but the article fails to do it justice. It needs to be updated. I'll work on it in the next few days.

 * delete fails WP:ORG and WP:PROMO Content attempts to hang importance on their putative role in Oregon court case, calling it a "landmark", but we don't seem to have an article on that and even if the case was landmark and notable, N is not inherited. Jytdog (talk) 01:06, 16 April 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete per WP:NFRINGE. The likely reason there are no further secondary sources detailing this group is that the medical evidence on the efficacy of circumcision (e.g., reducing HIV transmission) has changed the medical ethical equation, and fewer doctors are willing to be associated with a WP:FRINGE movement.
