 * Delete per above. — Ed! (talk) 13:59, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Promotional in nature, fails WP:CORP. Significant coverage in reliable sources not available. Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 16:26, 15 December 2012 (UTC)
 * It is a little better, but honestly, the sources are still local in nature. I will give credit where it is due (ie: to MelanieN) and strike the delete, but I really can't support keeping it either.  Dennis Brown -  2&cent;    &copy;  Join WER 17:00, 27 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Keep There is plenty of significant coverage available for this organization; a cursory search of Google News Archive finds dozens of references in regional Reliable Sources. The sources need to be added to the article, which currently has only one Reliable Source reference, but the fact that they exist proves notability. Don't be fooled by the cutesy name, or the fact that the organization is about pet rats. --MelanieN (talk) 00:42, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Comment Please take another look; the article has been expanded and references added. --MelanieN (talk) 16:42, 16 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.


 * Please add new comments below this notice. Thanks, postdlf (talk) 05:29, 22 December 2012 (UTC)


 * Keep&mdash;Per MelanieN and due to her characteristically fine rewriting. This obviously meets the GNG.&mdash; alf laylah wa laylah (talk) 16:18, 27 December 2012 (UTC)
