Fails WP:GNG; Google News shows four passing mentions in archives; can't find any independent sources discussing it in-depth. NYyankees51 (talk) 19:17, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - There are many more news sources when searching under "IGLYO" instead of the expanded title. -- Scjessey (talk) 19:23, 19 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment I suppose this all depends on how much notability is conferred by gay-specific news publications, as there is a very significant amount of coverage within those publications. Outside of that, I found a fair amount of Italian news sources discussing them, so we'll have to translate those and see if there's significant coverage. And then there's mainstream news sources discussing a IGLYO conference in Tel Aviv that was heavily opposed by the Palestinian government. See here and here. There's a lot more sources discussing that event specifically as well. Silver  seren C 19:30, 19 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Note The nominator has had issues in the past with articles relating to homosexuality, not trying to stirr-up things I just find it interesting how this user is nominating other LGBT articles when having issues editing other articles related to homosexuality.

 * Keep. Frivolous, POV-motivated nomination of subject with dozens of reliable sources to be found. User appears to have mass-nominated a number of LGBT-related articles for deletion, and these blatant WP:BEFORE failures call all the nominations into question. –Roscelese (talk &sdot; contribs) 00:40, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep per Roscelese. -- SatyrTN (talk / contribs) 01:01, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, per SatyrTN. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 03:39, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep, preferably of the snowy variety. Tons of available sources; not sure why this would be nominated. Kevin (talk) 06:29, 20 February 2012 (UTC)




 * Keep per available sources. Adding them to the article might prevent a return to AFD, but we rarely delete notable topics simply because it has not yet been done.  Schmidt,  MICHAEL Q. 18:53, 21 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Comment - the organization appears to have recently been involved in some big kerfuffle over being located/having an affiliate located in Israel, which, from a quick Google search, turns up enough results that I'd be comfortable with its notability. WP:BEFORE should have been followed before yet another WP:POINTy nomination from this nominator. - The Bushranger One ping only 23:07, 21 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep - clearly notable and nomination seems to be a bad-faith attempt to remove articles on GLBT issues. Nominator is now indef blocked for bad faith noms including this one, so I think this can be speedily kept. - Ahunt (talk) 23:37, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep - per Ahunt. Let's close this now, to save further wasted time, if possible.--Epeefleche (talk) 09:47, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Keep Suppose I might as well Keep now, per my comment up above and other arguments here. Notability isn't that hard to find at all for this group. Silver  seren C 15:36, 22 February 2012 (UTC)
