Israel Policy Forum

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

Speedily deleted under A7 and later challenged. Appears to fail WP:CORP. SchuminWeb (Talk) 19:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Google brings about 25,000 hits for the phrase "Israel Policy Forum." &mdash; La Pianista ( T • C • S ) 20:50, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Apparently prolific column-writing activity, with work included in high-profile publications (NB: link is to their own site, but appears to be their own tabulation/collection of reprints of their works that have been published in other places). International organizatoin that hosts functions featuring high-profile speakers (including presidents and candidates for similar offices). DMacks (talk) 21:03, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * This should be kept, it is notable and I have been in contact with someone who is attempting to expand the article. I have explained our various policies and this article should be fully fleshed out in a matter of time. John Reaves 21:04, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Excellent! Please make sure the content is objective/encylopediac in tone and about the group and specifically what it does, not "mission statement" and other corporate/PR-speak that sounds like a website for the group. DMacks (talk) 21:09, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Yes, the last edits were a direct copy/paste. I've tried to explain what is needed, but we'll see how it goes. John Reaves 21:13, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Ample independent coverage exists for this organization, which has played a major role in advocating for its solution to the Israeli–Palestinian conflict, which satisfies the notability standard. Alansohn (talk) 23:01, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, it is notable, but carefully watch the COI socks spamming articles of non-notable people associated with IPF. TheMolecularMan (talk) 23:52, 17 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep, this page should have some updating to improve it as it is a notable organization and would be helpful to see the mission and leadership and activities of it. 68.166.229.26 (talk) 14:03, 18 September 2008 (UTC)
 * Comment If there has been so much coverage of this group why isn't any of that cited? Thanks. Northwestgnome (talk) 11:43, 19 September 2008 (UTC)
 * I have added a few citations to the article. Does it now meet with your approval? - Icewedge (talk) 00:43, 21 September 2008 (UTC)
