The result was Delete. The only user suggesting we keep it doesn't seem convinced. That it's not the kind of group that gets written about is actually a strong argument to delete. While AFD is not for cleanup, the spammy tone combined with the lack of substantial sources attached to the article means that our best move for now is to delete, without prejudice towards recreation as a properly sourced article with a neutral tone.

Written like an advertisement. And I couldn't any reliable sources. ~DC Talk To Me 09:31, 21 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete: All that I can find for significant coverage is . Fails WP:ORG. Joe Chill (talk) 22:07, 21 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Keep, for now: the article is written like an advertisement and needs to be changed, however, if the organization is serving 27,000 people, than it is a significant entity. Per Joe Chill's point, this is not the kind of group that gets books written about it; I am not surprised he only found one.  That said, I checked google's archived news stories and found FosterClub covered by the SF Chronicle, Tampa Tribune, and AZ Daily Star. They seem reliable enough for me.  I suggest the article be kept but that it be tagged, asking the editors to bring it up to language and tone standards.  Failing that, it should be deleted. Tobit2 (talk) 19:33, 23 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete per Joe Chill. Maybe the subject is notable, maybe not. If it is, starting from scratch might be the least of evils. Chutznik (talk) 01:34, 29 January 2010 (UTC)
