Helen Keller National Center

The articleissues at the top of the article sums it all up. This text is written by someone with what seems to be a close connection (the creator's talk page has warnings for spamming with a similar article), it's unsourced except to the organisation's own website, and there's no indication of notability — time to blow it up. See the state of the article before I edited it. I've done my best to clean it up, but it doesn't appear to be repairable further, due to the seeming nonexistence of reliable sources available online, so even if you reject the blow-it-up argument, you need to think about the lack of reliable source coverage.

 * Weak keep, following improvements by Thincat. Even now, the sourcing isn't great - but it seems adequate for notability. PWilkinson (talk) 21:37, 23 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Keep - Sufficient sourcing already showing in the footnotes for a GNG pass as the object of multiple instances of independently published coverage in so-called reliable sources. Carrite (talk) 03:58, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - Under WP:NONPROFIT, this org is both (a) scope of activities is national, AND (b) information is verifiable in multiple third-party independent reliable sources. Other factors include size & longevity, and establishment by act of Congress, that suggest the organization's notability.  ... Note: Searching in Google Books provides lots of additional cites, in US government materials and in references about Helen Keller, disability, and education -- quite a lot of them. --Lquilter (talk) 08:43, 28 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep and improve because it passes both points 1 and 2 of WP:NONPROFIT. Northamerica1000(talk) 15:18, 28 September 2012 (UTC)
