Emily's Entourage

charity of only trivial importance. The press is just PR and human interest tabloid material. I started removing some promotional excess, and then realized there was nothing substantial.  DGG ( talk ) 04:21, 13 July 2015 (UTC)

 * Keep. Human interest stories about critical medical research are not "tabloid fodder" and I think that's an insulting characterization of them.  The organization has raised over $1 million dollars, participated in cutting edge research, and received honors from the White House for its innovation (recently added refs:  ).  note: I went to high school with the Founder of this organization but otherwise am not involved Ocaasit &#124; c 17:05, 13 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep I'm torn between there needing to be an article about her and an article about the organization she has founded, but I don't think we need both. However, the White House award puts them squarely in the "Notable" range. The article could lose some of its non-RS sources and still be viable. Without the White House recognition this would be much weaker and would be only of local interest. LaMona (talk) 22:40, 13 July 2015 (UTC)
 * Keep This organization has raised a large sum of money and received significant coverage by reliable sources. DavidLeighEllis (talk) 23:39, 18 July 2015 (UTC)


 * Comment Looking at the list on thee White house website, I think being given this "honor", specifically designed for ordinary people of minor importance as good pr examples for government programs. There are 100 categories, with 10 to 15 people in each so far. Some of the categories are not just significant program like "ACA Champions of Change", but "Affordable Care Act Outreach to the AAPI Community" ; also "Veterans Advancing Clean Energy And Climate Security".  "Civic Hacking and Open Government", "Youth Greening Schools", "Climate Faith Leaders".    Looking at the lists, possibly  a very few of them might be notable.
 * Further as for "raised a large sum of money" -- even were that a standard, it's about $1 million. For a health care charity, that's utterly trivial.  DGG ( talk ) 04:41, 20 July 2015 (UTC)
