Uganda AIDS Orphan Children Foundation

This seems like an awesome charity that does really noble work. Still, being an awesome charity is not one of the criteria for inclusion listed in Notability or in Notability (organizations and companies). There does not appear to be any independent refrenences about this organization which one could use to write an article, and the entire article is cited only to the organizations own website. Given that, there does not appear to be the bare minimum of notability, as defined in the guidelines above, to support keeping this article around.

Thank you. 20:63, 22 April 2009 (PST) —Preceding unsigned comment added by Timp111 (talk • contribs)

 * Weak keep. I've added on reference which, although not from a strictly reliable source, satisfies me that the organisation exists. With that in place I'm willing to turn a blind eye to WP:N in this case. 9Nak (talk) 16:07, 22 April 2009 (UTC)

Comment. The entry has been significantly improved since the original AfD; while the cited sources aren't exactly The New York Times I think they just barely satisfy the notability criteria that were the original concern. 9Nak (talk) 09:33, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Weak keep - The Tidings (newspaper) is independent and it's a whole article on the subject. Squeaks by WP:N.  WLU (t) (c) Wikipedia's rules: simple/complex 20:14, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Keep  Not as notable as Angelina Jolie's humanitarian work but the article now has references to meet our threshold for general notability. I'm sure that in the future more coverage will be available for this international orphan support organization. -- J mundo 20:44, 25 April 2009 (UTC)
