 * Keep Do you see those refs at the bottom of the page? They assert notability. And yes, it actually does satisfy WP:CORP, as "the scope of their activities is national or international in scale." (they're a protest organization against for importing oil... importing = international... seeing a connection?) flaminglawyer 01:01, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep  Article is well sourced from references from the BBC. Meets WP:N and WP:RS. --J.Mundo (talk) 03:51, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Speedy keep it's not well written but the sources are there and obvious. Tagged for clean up. --neon white talk 17:29, 25 January 2009 (UTC)
 * Delete. Although protests against the pipe are well covered in the references, none of them actually mention an organisation by the name of 'Fight the Pipe' (a couple of protest groups - 'Rising Tide' and 'Safe Haven Network' - are in fact mentioned in some references, but not 'Stop the Pipe'). The subject thus fails WP:N because there is a lack of significant coverage about the organisation itself in reliable sources that are independent of the subject. I am making the distinction here between the generic protests, which may be notable, and the organisation, which is not. The 'Fight the Pipe' website, which is linked in the article, is a blog and thus is both a primary source and not a reliable source. Since there are no reliable sources (I find no news coverage of an organisation called 'Fight the Pipe'), the subject also fails one of our core policies, that of being verifiable in a reliable source. No objection to the generic protests being covered in Wikipedia as these seem to be notable; actually, I see that they are covered in South Wales Gas Pipeline. --Malcolmxl5 (talk) 00:11, 27 January 2009 (UTC)
