Prevention of Blindness Society of Metropolitan Washington

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Promotional article for local organization with no general significance. Ref 1 does not mention the organization. Ref 2 is a directory. Ref 3 includes it among others in a study. Ref 4 I cannot find, but it would appear to be a directory. Ref 5 is a press release from an affiliated organization. Ref 6 is a directory. Everything else in Google appears to be a directory also, or at best a press release, such as this one in a neighborhood newspaper.  DGG ( talk ) 20:23, 30 May 2017 (UTC)

 Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion and clearer consensus.
 * Delete. This appears to be an organization that does worthwhile work, but it isn't of encyclopedic interest.  More to the point, I don't see how it passes either WP:NORG or the general notability guidelines.  By the way, I was able to rescue that "Ref 4" -- it's a brief press release from the subject organization that was re-printed in an NIH newsletter.  NewYorkActuary (talk) 18:29, 3 June 2017 (UTC)

 * Delete -- unsourced original research and WP:ADVOCACY. No value to the project at this time. K.e.coffman (talk) 20:34, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
