Granny Peace Brigade - NYC

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

Non-notable organistion. Still no assertion of notability on this third attempt at the article. References fail to supply Verifiable Notability. Don't understand why speedy was declined. TrulyBlue (talk) 18:41, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment Please read WP:CSD and you may attain some understanding of what a claim of notability is. Edison (talk) 23:38, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I did, and I consider that the article "does not indicate why its subject is important or significant". Specifically it says that the GPB is "one of many local activist groups" and does not show any notable achievements, individuals, protests or national reaction to them.  Without sources and a specific claim, there's nothing in the article to show that this organisation isn't just a couple of senior ladies who managed to get themselves arrested and issued a press release.

 * Delete Non-notable organization with little to no outside coverage. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  20:28, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Change to neutral. I did some further searching, and with the links provided below, I found that some notability exists, however I still don't believe it fully meets notability criteria. –Juliancolton Tropical Cyclone  23:42, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep 147 results in a Google News Archive search seems to satisfy notability requirements. See the Associated Press story Apr 28, 2006  from the Saint Louis Post Dispatch, a story in the Philadelphia Inquirer Jan 19, 2007, one in the New Zealand Herald  Mar 20, 2008 "The Granny Peace Brigade, accompanied by a few grandfathers, met at Times Square in New York to mark the fifth anniversary of the US led war in Iraq.", the Washington Post , Jun 28, 2006, . and 143 more press references about the group. Being old and ornery does not make a group inherently non-notable. Edison (talk) 23:35, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - non-notable organization (badly named article, too). The mentions are not the kind of substantial coverage necessary to make a group notable. -- Orange Mike  &#x007C;   Talk  01:50, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Move and Redirect to Granny Peace Brigade. Oddly, that was recently deleted, but this organization has received national media attention.--Samuel J. Howard (talk) 02:55, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep as Granny Peace Brigade. The majority of the articles found by Edison's Google News search are about the Granny Peace Brigade, not just passing mentions. I can't see how they can be called "not the kind of substantial coverage necessary to make a group notable". Phil Bridger (talk) 14:20, 22 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep per Edison and Bridger, various news sources. We66er (talk) 05:33, 23 September 2008 (UTC)
