List of advocacy groups
A few reasons to delete this list:
 * By its nature this list is highly open-ended and incomplete, and if properly populated would likely contain thousands of organzations worldwide. If a group of articles required a more narrowly targeted resource list of certain types of advocacy groups, that could be created.
 * There is an existing category Advocacy groups with subcategories for cataloguing Wikipedia articles of this nature.
 * The list is not linked to any current articles (except Advocacy)

Given the existing category groups, and the lack of "added value" in the list, this list would be a duplication of effort even without the incompleteness and maintainance issues. - David Oberst 23:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)


 * Delete, per nomination. David Oberst 23:38, 26 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete far too arbitrary and unmanageable, and especially lacks any added value.01:16, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - any advocacy group is a ridiculous requirement. Might as well make a "list of companies that sell products relating to wood".  --02:11, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
 * Delete - especially as it's already a category. That works better for this kind of nebulous area. Tony Fox (arf!) 03:23, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
