Lewisham Law Centre

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  )

Notability isn't clear. Doesn't meet WP:ORG or WP:CLUB. WP:LOCAL suggests that some local topics can be merged into the most appropriate settlement article, which in this case would be London Borough of Lewisham, however it is not clear why a general reader would benefit from inclusion of this material. Most communities have some form of Citizens Advice Bureau. And CABs have been going a lot longer than this place, and are still going, so its notability is rather unclear. Contested PROD.

 * Weak keep. A law centre (called a legal clinic or legal aid clinic in some places) is a non-profit law firm which is also a charity. A law centre is not the same as a citizens advice bureau, which typically does not provide legal services and does not have lawyers on staff. It provides legal services to people who cannot afford to pay for them, and may specialize in an area such as immigration law or disability issues, and provide some legal information through pamphlets and a website. This centre may be notable because of the difficulties it encountered getting funding from the London Borough of Lewisham. I don't think that this one had any specialties, though. I was able to find a few references, but not many. - Eastmain (talk) 17:00, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

 * Delete. Good faith contribution, can't see any spammy or promotional intentions, but the few hits on GNews are trivial coverage. At the very most, only warrants a possible mention in London Borough of Lewisham, and probably not even that. Chris Neville-Smith (talk) 22:56, 6 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete. It wasn't a notable place, doesn't meet the WP:GNG. Fences  &amp;  Windows  00:37, 7 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete -- A NN law firm subsidised out of public funds. There is no more reason for an article on it than on any of perhaps 10,000 NN solicitors firms in provate practice.  Sure, it gets publicity every time it has to put out the begging bowl: but WP:NOTNEWS.  Peterkingiron (talk) 22:38, 8 January 2010 (UTC)
