People’s Solidarity for Participatory Democracy

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

seems to think there's something here worth keeping; I'm sure the organization paid him handsomely to remove my beautiful PROD. At any rate, I think this organization is not proven to be notable yet. Also, happy new year. Drmies (talk) 05:12, 1 January 2015 (UTC)


 * Keep and watchlist: An "influential civic group" according to The Wall Street Journal. The organization was apparently influential in establishing a network of civil groups in Korea (source) and many of its members have held high-ranking political positions in the country.(source) Covered in-depth by the International Encyclopedia of Civil Society and has what looks at-a-glance like a great source in the Journal of Asian Studies. Having 13,000 members also suggests notability. In comparison the Public Relations Society of America has roughly twice that and I wrote a full-length article that is now GA.


 * This version of the article should have just been deleted as spam, but now that Drmies has cleaned it up, the remainder is worth keeping, however will need to be watchlisted and protected if necessary to avoid further promo/copyvio. CorporateM (Talk) 15:06, 1 January 2015 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.
 * Keep Appears to pass WP:ORG, I was all set to say "delete" because the article contains only one reference, a brief encyclopedia entry. However, a Google News search shows that the organization is very high profile  . The article should be expanded to include some of this material. --MelanieN (talk) 05:08, 8 January 2015 (UTC)
