Joyful Child Foundation
Seems like a vanity article. Non-notable organization. My vote is delete. Spinboy 03:07, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Samantha Runnion was just up for deletion a few days ago.  This article was created as a result of a suggestion in that VfD debate.  See Votes for deletion/Samantha Runnion. --Idont Havaname 04:17, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Organization appears to be notable and worthy of inclusion on Wikipedia (IMHO).  &mdash;RaD Man (talk) 04:27, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. They were on GMA. - RedWordSmith 04:32, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)

 * Delete, less than 240 Google hits - sorry just isnt notable enough. Megan1967 06:48, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. I wrote this article after Katefan0 and Idont Havaname suggested that we merge the Samantha Runnion article into an article on the Joyful Child Foundation. I created this article as a consequence - I have no connection with it. My personal preference was to keep the article as it was a widely reported case and the trial is still ongoing with the potential for it to be a capital case going on for years. As the Foundation has 50 childwatch programs established in Southern California with plans to do more, I thought it was notable enough for Wikipedia. Capitalistroadster 13:07, 10 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * Keep. I see no reason to delete a page on a non-profit with a fairly significant outreach and that has links to a crime that had some news coverage. Katefan0 18:32, Feb 10, 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep and allow for organic growth. GRider\talk 20:10, 14 Feb 2005 (UTC)
 * Keep. Notable enough for inclusion. Carrp | Talk 04:11, 15 Feb 2005 (UTC)
