Matru Sewa Sangh
Apparently non notable non profit organization. 259 Google hits, No Alexa ranking for their site. Rory096 05:32, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Make that a keep per the rewrite (though I can't withdraw as there have been delete opinions below me) --Rory096 20:47, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete, non-notable organisation. J I P  | Talk 06:20, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote changed to keep after rewrite. J I P  | Talk 12:39, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete; was contested. Isopropyl 12:49, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep as the article has been considerably cleaned and importance established. Isopropyl 02:54, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong Keep Google is not a measure of credibility for a NGO working with the rural urban poor of a 3rd world country with a 1% internet penetration rate! Besides, did you google its name in Hindi? The other 500 Indian languages? Systemic bias, anyone? - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 14:39, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * I have completely rewritten the article, removing every trace of the copyvio and flattery. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 14:54, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep, possibly moot due to rewrite. Does the name have an English translation?  If so, suggest moving it there.  Smerdis of Tlön 15:42, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep 77 unique ghits for a non-profit, non-western, non-latin-alphabet organization seem like a fair count. Judging the org by its alexa-rank is a bit silly really. -- E ivindt@c 16:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. Have expanded based on website at bottom of page and minimal Google research. Didn't have to try very hard to find this stuff: nominator perhaps judged on web-penetration rather than on contents. JackyR 17:50, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Strong keep. Have been ordered by some lunatic person ;) to follow up the Indian end on foot, snail mail etc. Yes, sir. will be done as ordered! Regards, AshLin
 * For the record, I asked Ash to help improve the article using his Indian prowess, not to vote "Strong Keep". Ash, it is illegal and pointless to solicit AfD votes. - CrazyRussian talk/contribs/email 18:19, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
 * Sorry, didnt intend to mean it that way. You'll find my back trail full of attempted puns|broken pottery by this bull in the Wikipedia China shop (there I go again). Just a (sick) attempt at humour. Strong keep because, in India, we have very few social service organisations as per density of our populace. An organisation such as Matru Seva Sangh reflects the Indian nationalist effort of the early twenties at following Gandhian ideals in the service of mankind. I think I'll send crzr an apology barnstar so that I'll have at least twenty gaffes more in interacting with him to my credit and I can rest in peace. BTW, I dont normally get involved outside butterflies unless I plan to get actively involved in the article.Hence strong keep since I plan to work on this for a couple of months.AshLin 02:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)


 * Keep per nom. --Lakhim 23:16, 8 May 2006 (UTC)
