The Moss Cider Project

 * – ( View AfD View log )

fails WP:ORG. a small local volunteer organisation, with a mere 2 gnews hits. LibStar (talk) 12:34, 10 September 2011 (UTC)

 * Delete. This local initiative does not make for a notable topic. Drmies (talk) 01:51, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete Appears to fail WP:ORG, as it is just of local interest and has not received substantial national or international attention. ConcernedVancouverite (talk) 02:40, 11 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep The BBC is national coverage. They allow you to sort through their results to show things that happen in specific areas.  And the other link isn't just some small town local paper but for the community of Manchester.  "Greater Manchester has an estimated population of 2.6 million."

 * but there is not significant coverage. a one off appearance in BBC is not enough for an article. nor does it mean 2.6 million read that Manchester paper. LibStar (talk) 00:57, 16 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Significant coverage, not trivial mention, in two reliable sources.  D r e a m Focus  01:02, 16 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Weak keep It did get significant coverage in two major reliable sources, and that meets (barely) the WP:GNG requirements. However, I am personally underwhelmed by the results obtained by this group. All that effort for 9 gallons of cider? I organize bigger community projects than that every year. --MelanieN (talk) 23:46, 17 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so a clearer consensus may be reached.

 * Delete Wiki articles aren't needed for every group that makes the news. Notability for encyclopedic articles depends on significant coverage by independent, reliable sources. The "significant coverage" is lacking, but if someone decides to mention the group in other articles, there are two whole cites to back it up. That's three times the wiki average.

 * Keep – Significant coverage in significant mass media sources. See references section of article. Northamerica1000 (talk) 13:09, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * 2 references is not significant. LibStar (talk) 03:13, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
 * That is not a policy-based statement. See WP:Articles for deletion/Radio Sandwell.  Unscintillating (talk) 20:36, 25 September 2011 (UTC)


 * Whether the coverage is "significant" or not is a bit of a judgment call here, but the article is fully sourced and cited to coverage in reliable sources--and there seems to be enough here to build a decent article. So on balance, count me as a Keep. Mark Arsten (talk) 21:15, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Delete. This looks like a one off event. If it has legs then maybe it might be worth an article. Malleus Fatuorum 21:58, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
 * Keep 2 references is significant.  Unscintillating (talk) 20:40, 25 September 2011 (UTC)
