The result was   keep. My gut feeling is this really isn't notable, but the consensus among the editors who participated is clearly keep, so keep it is. And, I agree that another relist would be pointless. -- RoySmith (talk) 16:01, 23 February 2014 (UTC)

Ontario Disability Employment Network

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

less than notable organization; special-purpose charitable agencies of this sort with only provinical scope are not assumed to be notable. The one good reference (the globe & Mail) is only incidentally about the organization.  DGG ( talk ) 00:23, 22 January 2014 (UTC)

Keep - More examples of this organization are available including: http://axiomnews.ca/node/2157 http://readywillingable.ca/programs/ontario-disability-employment-network-champions-league/ http://openparliament.ca/committees/human-resources/41-1/71/joseph-dale-1/ http://www.police.london.ca/d.aspx?s=/Newsroom/2012458.htm http://www.accessibilitynews.ca/ontario-disability-employment-network-press-release/ http://fieldgatehomesblog.com/2012/08/01/fieldgate-supports-programs-for-students-with-disabilities/ http://www.city.sarnia.on.ca/city-government/mayor/about-the-mayor/print http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I9m0zrQlUjk This is a real organization - it exists and continues to work with various community agenices across Ontario. Among other things, they work with others to ensure people are given credit for their work re: employment issues surrounding people who have a disability - which is why there are less articles about them and more about the people they work with. There is no misleading information in the article. madair11 —Preceding undated comment added 21:17, 23 January 2014 (UTC) — madair11 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic. Keep - The Ontario Disability Employment Network has had a huge impact improving employment opportunities for people with a disability across Ontario. So much so that two of its directors, Joe Dale and Bob Vansickle were recently awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal for significant achievements by the Governor General of Canada. http://www.communitylivingontario.ca/news-events/news/queens-diamond-jubilee-medal-recipient-humbled
 * Delete I am a HCP in Ontario Canada and have never heard of this organization. In addition its lack of notability means it should go Mrfrobinson (talk) 20:14, 25 January 2014 (UTC)

Health Care and Employment are separate lines of work. Assumption that Health Care Providers in Ontario have heard of every organization is not a strong argument. madair11 (talk) 00:39, 29 January 2014 (UTC) — madair11 (talk&#32;• contribs) has made few or no other edits outside this topic.

 * Keep and improve the notability by including the information about the medal - as referred to by GoSpaceRace above. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:00, 30 January 2014 (UTC)


 * Weak Keep; as one paragraph stub describing just the organization, it is fine. However I disagree with Dodger67, and believe the list of "Champion's League" winners inappropriately dominates the article. I believe the focus must be on the actions of the ODEN, rather than the award recipients.  I have trimmed the article to remove the award recipients.

 * Comment @Zfish118 I was referring to the news sources about the directors of the org being awarded the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal - as linked by GoSpaceRace. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 06:40, 7 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply @Roger (Dodger67), My appologies for misunderstanding which award you were referring to. However, I addressed the Jubilee Medal on the talk page already.  The sources say that, the directors received the Jubilee Medal award for their work in the Rotary Club, not necessarily the ODEN.  It thus doesn't improve the notability of ODEN.  For this article, I would like to see more about what the organization does. --Zfish118 (talk) 20:19, 7 February 2014 (UTC)

 * Comment - with 4 Keep and only 1 Delete the consensus is already clear - endless relisting isn't likely to change it and may be interpreted as a bad faith act. It's time to close this. Roger (Dodger67) (talk) 13:00, 17 February 2014 (UTC)
 * Reply - there are only three users who voted "keep", and my "keep" vote is quite weak actually, as very little encyclopedic information seems to be available. --Zfish118 (talk) 01:27, 18 February 2014 (UTC)
