Focus the Nation

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Non-notable group and I haven't found sufficient sources to establish notability aside from this press release and this USA Today article (although the USA Today article is detailed, this would be insufficient). I also found an event listing here and this blog post by a Focus the Nation member which, unsurprisingly, reads like an advertisement and provides nothing useful for Wikipedia. Google Books only found one result here (scroll up and down to the next pages). Unfortunately, it seems the article has always been edited by COI users causing the article to read more and more like an advertisement. I should note that a sister organisation of Focus the Nation has also been nominated for deletion, Articles for deletion/Green House Network. I should also note that this article was prodded at the beginning but was removed by the nominator after the author provided several links. However, several of those links appear to be insufficient or irrelevant to the group themselves. As I've mentioned there, this is obviously a notable cause but it seems there is few significant coverage to support a proper article. SwisterTwister  talk  22:07, 21 September 2012 (UTC)
