Great Swamp Watershed Association

 * – ( View AfD View log )

The association is not notable and the article reads more like an indirect advertisement than an article. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 20:00, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

GSWA is notable

 * Keep The Great Swamp is a very significant geological feature in North Jersey. People visit from all over because it is in a unique location near a former moraine and has a unique history.  I think that community efforts to protect the watershed should be described because of its importance to so many people in a densely-populated state.  In addition, the GSWA is not the only Great Swamp-area community organization that exists; The Raptor Trust is also headquartered nearby and is quite notable for its work in the area.  These groups all deserve mention and description, so my vote is to keep the Great Swamp Watershed Association on Wikipedia.
