JAINA

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

The article is about a community organization, which takes donations and promotes community forum. The google search result for JAINA gives only one result of community website of JAINA -. The article does pass WP:ORG and should be deleted as per also speedy deletion criteria No,  G11: Unambiguous advertising. As the article promotes non notable names of persons awarded by them. Besides organization - JAINA, asks for donations in its website link  and therefore it seems it has been created for self-advertisement. Jethwarp (talk) 08:22, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I withdraw my deletion nomination, as some of my concerns have been addressed to - like removal of non notable list of awardees, etc. As per my talk page discussion with User:Malaiya, I am satisfied of organizations notability, etc. Thank you.Jethwarp (talk) 04:01, 21 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. This organization is a representative organization of Jains in the US, similar to every organization listed here -Category:Religious organizations based in the United States. Since JAINA is an acronym that happens to be the same as the word Jaina, which is used for the follower of Jainism, Google invariably shows the latter. However, the article is well referenced and mentions sufficient sources. Non-notable names have been deleted from the article. Like every religious organization, political organization, educational organization, even Wikipedia itself, JAINA asks for donations on its website.--Aayush18 (talk) 13:19, 18 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Article has sources, and while the word "Jaina" is difficult to search (as noted above), a GNews search for "Federation of Jain Associations" yields several pages of promising results such as . --Arxiloxos (talk) 00:56, 19 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep. It is a well known, prestigious, non-profit religious organization in USA. Its acronym "JAINA" is used in other contexts also (for example a variation of Jain), thus you will find unrelated items using a Google search also. However note that it is frequently mentioned in newspaper reports, a few of which are cited there. Note that all non-profit and religious organizations accept donations, from Red Cross, Mormon Church, Notre Dame University (a Catholic university) to Tirupati Temple. Malaiya (talk)
 * The claim by Jethwarp "G11: Unambiguous advertising" "it seems it has been created for self-advertisement" is really offensive. I should point out that I also created Hindu Temple Society of North America, Jai Jagdish Hare (17 November 2005), Shardha Ram Phillauri, the author of Jai Jagdish Hare, and significantly contributed to Hatim al-Tai, among others.
