National Coalition Against Legalized Gambling

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

There has been plenty of anti-gambling commentary by NCALG spokespeople in notable sources but I don't believe this in itself is enough to demonstrate the organization's notability. Moreover this commentary tends to be 'token' in nature, in which a journalist throws in a dramatic quote courtesy of NCALG.[][]. Finally, it should be noted that the organization itself appears to be dwindling, with a decline in commentary over the past 10 years [] and a home page that hasn't been properly maintained/updated for [two years].

 * Keep. "Dwindling" is not a reason for deletion. Once notable, always notable. Even multiple "token" coverage of such an organization in the context of its mission can up to notability. -- Eastmain (talk) 14:18, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep Notability is not temporary. If this organization was previously considered a key interest group on the issue of legalized gambling, then its notability has been established and cannot disappear simply because the organization is "dwindling."

 * I don't believe this organization has ever been notable. Please ignore the 'dwindling' comment and address the main concern. Hazir (talk) 18:26, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
