I don't think this local organization has received enough attention in non-local reliable sources to meet our notability guidelines for organizations.  Them From  Space  10:55, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Delete - Personally, I'd argue this should be a Speedy Delete A7 candidate as an article about an organisation with no credible assertion of notability, but were I an admin I'd be reluctant to make that call. In any case the article does not provide significant discussion in reliable independent sources capable of sastifying the general notability guidelines and I have been unable to identify any.  (Please note that there is no agreement on whether or not local sources do or do not count towards notability.  WP:LOCAL is an essay which says "no", while WP:LOCALINT is a proposed guideline that says "yes", with the talk page discussion leaning towards a view that Wikipedia should be more inclusive yet in regards to local interests.  In the absence of community consensus, WP:N wins, which makes no mention of local notability not being notability generally.) - DustFormsWords (talk) 11:08, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * There is some wording regarding this in WP:CORP. ...attention solely from local media, or media of limited interest and circulation, is not an indication of notability; at least one regional, national, or international source is necessary.  Them  From  Space  11:17, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
 * For reference, that sentence was added in this diff of 11 September 2008, following this discussion in which one editor supported the change and (a more experienced editor) strongly opposed it. So I don't think it's our most well-reasoned piece of policy and I might bring that up on the relevant talk page. - DustFormsWords (talk) 11:32, 9 December 2010 (UTC)
