List of progressive organizations

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

WP:NOT. The various organizations listed are subjective and the term "progressive" is open to interpretation, therefore a solid list of "progressive" organization is truly impossible to create. I couldn't find a similar list for "conservative organization" although that should be AfD as well.  Mønobi 04:09, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete Putting these organizations under the umbrella of "progressive" without a reliable source making that assertion is OR Corpx (talk) 11:04, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Strong delete - hopelessly subjective, impossible to quantify. -- Orange Mike  |  Talk  16:08, 30 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Ill-defined, and “original”. (Wikipedia should, in fact, look askance at the term “progressive”, treating the label as it would “forward-looking”.) —SlamDiego&#8592;T 18:30, 31 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete - Although not to the Letter, the Spirit of WP:CRYSTAL prevents us from labeling groups as progressive. Exit2DOS2000   •T•C•  08:03, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. "Progressive" is not amenable to objective definition. Espresso Addict (talk) 10:21, 1 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Delete. Though 'tis a tendence to peer ascance at such untenable and frankly unamenable and pontiferous wiki-anathema, hitherto I roundly declare.... would you just delete the article for shit's sake?--Jackbirdsong (talk) 05:26, 2 February 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Mark the page as having bias or needing a cleanup, or needing renaming. The list itself can be useful
 * The links refer to organisations that define themselves as progressive, which infers that such a thing as a 'progressive organisation' is defined in culture. I got 82 responses for 'progressive organisations' and 85 responses for 'conservative organisations' on dogpile, so the subjectivity of the heading is not hopeless.Usualsuit (talk) 15:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
 * The word “infer” means surmise; you seem to be confusing it with “imply”.
 * Instead of “progressive”, consider words such as “patriotic”. Many will label themselves thus, or label others thus.  But that won't make them patriotic nor make others non-patriotic. —SlamDiego&#8592;T 16:39, 3 February 2008 (UTC)
