Legal Aid Society of the District of Columbia

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

No indication this organization meets WP:ORG. BEFORE shows many local sources mentioning this, but none that discuss it in detail, and nothing from out of Washington. Fails WP:GNG and WP:ORGDEPTH. John from Idegon (talk) 18:39, 25 January 2018 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Keep. I created this page as part of a project to improve Wikipedia's coverage of legal history and legal aid organizations in the United States. Right now, aside from the 800-pound gorilla of legal aid (the Legal Aid Society of New York), there are only a few pages on random legal aid organizations with no apparent rhyme or reason, in particular Legal Aid Society of Louisville, Colorado Legal Services, Wyoming Legal Services, Inc., and Legal Aid Society of Cleveland. The Legal Aid Society of D.C. is the largest and oldest legal services organization in D.C., a large and growing city with a large population of indigent residents who rely on it for legal representation and advice. It has an excellent reputation inside and outside D.C. and does high-quality and cutting-edge work. (I don't work there and have no affiliation with it.) Sfeldman (talk) 23:02, 25 January 2018 (UTC)
