Garden State Initiative

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

I see this as essentially advocacy forthe organization's ideas, rather than a NPOV article. If we removed the advocacy, there wouldn't be enough material to show notability  DGG ( talk ) 06:19, 13 October 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. This article meets all the criteria for stand-alone Wikipedia articles about organizations. And it meets all the actual Wikipedia criteria for NPOV. And here is proof (Talk page: "How this article meets all the Wikipedia criteria for standalone organization articles") that this article meets (exceeds, actually) all the criteria I just mentioned.

 * Weak Delete and Redirect to State Policy Network. This is the NJ-based arm of this larger network of think tanks. It looks to have received a bit of local coverage, but not enough to satisfy WP:ORG. The article further would need major edits, given that it reads like an extension of the official site. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 03:17, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

 * reply to the "weak delete" - Per WP:ORG: "A company, corporation, organization, group, product, or service is notable if it has been the subject of significant coverage in multiple reliable secondary sources that are independent of the subject." This article satisfies that requirement. How it "reads" is not part of the notability requirement. Not at all. That's my input. Thanks. --Francisco Fredeye (talk) 20:52, 1 November 2019 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus. Relisting comment: This is heading for a no consensus; will try one last re-list
 * Keep appears to meet GNG; (an article about think tank should include its ideas/conclusions, too).Djflem (talk) 08:30, 31 October 2019 (UTC)
