Per WP:BEFORE I searched for multiple non-primary or secondary reliable sources that give the subject of this article in depth significant coverage, and found the available lacking. Subject has received some mentions in reliable sources, but nothing that would be considered in depth, in my opinion. Furthermore, when searching books there is a brief mention of the subject in only two books, neither of which would be considered significant coverage. Therefore failing notability guidelines WP:ORG & WP:GNG, I am nominating this article for deletion. RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 20:59, 30 October 2014 (UTC)

 * Keep It's an awful article written as an advertisement, filled with fanboyism, poor English prose and many dead links. A number of the citations are not directly relevant to the article's subject matter. That being said, there does seem to be an amount of coverage which reaches a somewhat significant level. Among the thirty someodd references, around half of them are correctly used and the coverage of this organization in reputable news sources in Southeast Asia goes back a few years. The latest coverage is still recent and it seems that the organization, while not exceptionally notable, at least passes the minimum for WP:GNG as well as seeming to have increased in news coverage during the past year or so.

 * Please show us this in-depth/significant coverage that indicates that this organization meets GNG?--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 06:39, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
 * For instance:
 * Subject of this AfD is only given a single sentence
 * Subject of this AfD is only briefly mentioned
 * "Trivial mentions" do not meet WP:SIGCOV.
 * The subject was also mentioned twice in this news article, but the subject of this AfD is not that news article's primary topic, and does not give significant coverage to the organization that is the subject of this AfD.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 07:09, 6 November 2014 (UTC)

 * Delete Agree that there is no significant coverage and this article is a misuse of Wikipedia's purpose. This article should be deleted and only re-written when proper coverage can be found and the article written to our standards. Op47 (talk) 17:54, 8 November 2014 (UTC)


 * Response to, just to explain my reasoning earlier. Like I said, maybe half the references on this article do mention the organization in question. For some reason, several of the links which were working prior to my comment are now yielding those "404 not found" error messages - not sure why. There are at least two articles where the group is the central article, like this one from Gulf News. The one you posted from Inquirer does feature the group prominently, though - it's not as insigificant as your comment seems to imply. I'd say this other article from Inquirer is more insignificant. This, coupled with the dead links from other mainstream media sites (there are tools to fix dead links), does seem to imply that the group is barely notable in terms of mainstream media coverage over a long period of time.

 * The Gulf News article is about the comment made by the organization in relation to the Iraq War, not about the organization itself. It is nothing like this article about CAIR, nor does the subject of this AfD have a chapter about it in a reliable source book like this. This is in-depth content.--RightCowLeftCoast (talk) 18:16, 9 November 2014 (UTC)
