 * Delete Obviously a worthy organization in the real world. However, in the wikiworld it is not worthy of an article as I seriously cannot find a single reliable source when searching the web. This is another instance of "Jesu-spam", which the article creator should go ahead and endorse for deletion as it fails to meet GNG.96.127.244.27 (talk) 00:26, 21 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep (in place of former Comment). I did find a more-than-passing mention for your consideration, from what seems to me an independent source here at MoneyLife, with attribution to N. Madhavan, that says in part: "In 1985, it gained national recognition. President Zail Singh presented Fr Placido Fonseca, director Snehasadan, the 1985 National Award for Child Welfare. Snehasadan now runs 16 homes for orphans and street children." This would be an improved reference for what is already in the article. If the inclusion of mention how money can be sent to assist in the effort vitiates the whole report, then you can skip this one.
 * And if the story of someone who spent 10 years at House of Love (Mumbai) - Sneha Sadan - has any place in the article, then this bit from a correspondent for Gulf New India might be used.Jzsj (talk) 18:44, 26 August 2018 (UTC)Jzsj (talk) 11:40, 21 August 2018 (UTC)

 * Delete Fails WP:GOLDENRULE. We should be looking for independent significant coverage from secondary sources (which should obviously be reliable). In this case none. Accesscrawl (talk) 09:40, 24 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Keep per WP:AUD but the topic does meet notability guidelines, although not on a grand level just scrapes through. There is coverage in major Indian newspapers .It is a 52 year old organisation.Note it is mentioned as Sneha Sadan and I have not gone through the coverage in the local Marathi and Hindi languages.

 * Wait-I think I have came across the subject in a few media-pieces.Will try to look for them, in the hope that my memory is not betraying me..... &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 11:59, 27 August 2018 (UTC)
 * Delete-Nothing resembling to significant coverage in any source.No hits in Hindi either.How are this news-piece or this or this or this paid-promotion-piece helpful to establish the notability of Sneha Sadan? A street child of Sneha Sadan made it somewhat-big but how does that make SS notable? This has some mentions of the organization that can be exploited.Sheer insanity.Even if I take that the fund-donator is wiki-notable, all organisations to whom they donate funds does not inherit automatic-notability. This news-piece is a coverage from the events-section of the local edition of HT Times, which has zero relevance as to encyclopedic notability.Sigh...... &#x222F; <b style="color:#070">WBG</b> converse 14:49, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
