Little indication from source searches of coverage from reliable, third-party sources, or that the group had any significant impact on the public perception of Vietnam, thus failing WP:NORG and WP:GNG.  Dr Strauss   talk   21:47, 6 October 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete no sourcing except a local publication, which is what one would expect. I'd even consider this a speedy A7.  DGG ( talk ) 02:07, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

 * I asked a participant (born 1931) and she said:

Hi there, Good of you to find it and put it on. And the documentation that Wiki claims it needs -- can be found in the local newspaper, the Evanston Review which during the history and activities of the Evanston Peace Center had news articles about it. The draft counseling service was very active, also used by Northwestern Univ. Students and others, also served as a meeting venue for various peace groups. Had a pretty extensive library of current at the time newspapers and periodicals, a reading room staffed continuously. For support the Peace Center sold UNICEF Christmas cards, all year round.

 * So we will continue to drag up more evidence. I personally remember Jane Fonda came to Evanston and taught me the words Ha Binh which means peace in Vietnamese during that period... Jidanni (talk) 21:56, 8 October 2017 (UTC)

Dear Mom, consider instead https://archive.org/donate/ , which stores all the Wikipedia articles that have been deleted. Jidanni (talk) 03:02, 9 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I think your argument boils down to "keep my article because we'll give you cash". I'm not affiliated with the Wikimedia Foundation but their key principles put the integrity of the encyclopedia above monetary gain.  Either way, we're in no position to advise you as to where your mother should donate her money but it will have no effect on the outcome of this AfD.

No. You can read it any way you want but I told her to keep her cash regardless of your decision. Jidanni (talk) 08:28, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
 * delete I don't see any significant coverage about this topic and I see nothing in the article that indicates notability.Sandals1 (talk) 12:01, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
 * xommwnr the local material mentioned above, is exactly the sort of material which does not show that the subject belongs in a general encycopedia . Local references to local organizartions do not not show discriminating coverage.  DGG ( talk ) 07:43, 12 October 2017 (UTC)
 * I know you said on your userpage that you're not a good typist and that we're free to correct any mistakes (I tend not to do that to anyone out of courtesy) but is your vote a delete?   Dr Strauss   talk   20:36, 12 October 2017 (UTC)  Just realised it says comment but shifted characters plus a delete vote has already been given.
