Although I'm a bit uncertain about this article, I can't really find a lot of good sources when checking for hits on the web or in places such as Google Books. Most of the things I find are directories and various sites and books that are based on Wikipedia articles, such as. Nothing I've found so far really helps to establish any notability, so it appears to be a non-notable organization.

Please note that before nominating this article, it (and others) were listed for a month over at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Homeschooling in order to get more feedback, but as the wikiproject appears to be completely dead no feedback was received. Bjelleklang -  talk 21:29, 17 December 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete - I searched at Google News, Scholar and Books and found nothing that would be appropriate, however, after another search at Google Books, I found this acknowledgement, this (scroll to "Homeschool: an American history - Page 129") and this (the book uses them as a reference). The second page provided two results (the first one appears to be promotional and the second one isn't helpful either). I should note that while I was searching with Google Books and Scholar, I found work by Raymond and Dorothy Moore themselves but nothing related to the foundation. Without any third-party sources, this article would simply read like an advertisement. SwisterTwister   talk  03:10, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete no evidence of notability, and the article seems to be highly promotional "In 2002, the Moore Foundation mourned the passing of Dorothy Moore, who helped to pioneer the concept of homeschooling."--that must be a copyvio from somewhere. . There might possibly be some notability for an article on Raymond Moore, if anyone cares to write one. Bu — Preceding unsigned comment added by DGG (talk • contribs)
