Clearly promotional, largely unsourced copy Holypod (talk) 02:51, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep - It was an influential and notable group. Martin Luther King Jr. personally addressed their convention in 1966. The group has been mentioned by reputable journals such as this one, and I've done a bit of editing of the article myself to add details. CoffeeWithMarkets (talk) 07:24, 13 May 2016 (UTC)

 * Speedy keep for precisely the reasons User:CoffeeWithMarkets articulates, with thanks to User:CoffeeWithMarkets for improving sourcing on this small but significant (it's not like medical care was available to civil rights protestors in Southern cities, this outfit stepped in) organization that was a significant part of the Civil Rights Movement back in the day.  User:Holypod came upon a brief and under-sourced article, and assumed that it was "promotional", but might now withdraw - or any editor coming to the page can simply close it.  There is no valid argument for deletion.E.M.Gregory (talk) 10:24, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep With the improvements and sourcing additions made by CoffeeWithMarkets, now a WP:GNG pass.--Ddcm8991 (talk) 19:01, 13 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep per CoffeeWIthMarkets and their improvements, and the fact WP:PROMO never applies to defunct organizations because what is there to promote? If you're going to nominate here, know basic guidelines and have common sense, please.  Nate  • ( chatter ) 02:43, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
 * Keep -- This sounds like a significant participant in the civil rights movement of the 1960s and 1970s. Since it is now defunct (and has been for about 30 years), it is hardly promotional, since there is nothing existing to promote.  Peterkingiron (talk) 16:30, 14 May 2016 (UTC)
