The result was delete - I'm happy to restore the material to userspace if needed, but I don't see why the article would be needed to write something about the organisation in another article. This article is two sentences and a simple statement of what the organisation is, half of which is quoting the organisation's motto. As it stands the article does not even assert notability as required by speedy deletion criteria. --Sam Blanning(talk) 02:04, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

Unitarian Universalists for the Ethical Treatment of Animals


Non-notable organization not covered in reliable sources: none cited in the article, Google turns up 89 unique hits, none of which is an independent source for establishing notability; Google News gets 0 hits ; Google Books turns up 1 hit that mentions this organization, in the "about the author" blurb of a book unrelated to the topic. I contacted the initial editor on his talk page about this. Our conversation can now be found on the article's talk page. JChap2007 22:55, 7 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Delete current article per nom. I would, however, be happy to see the content merged into Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations.  The Affiliate article could be expanded from a simple list (of mostly red links) to short desriptions, only the most notable groups should receive individual articles. -MrFizyx 00:55, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Allow HellaNorCal some time to merge the articles. The stubs that don't meet criteria for an article can be made into redirects. -MrFizyx 04:37, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Needs to be expanded, to demonstrate notability of this particular prganization. If this is not done, then, with rgeret, I agree it is delete-worthy, but this stub looks to me like worth expanding, if I knew anything about the field (non-Unitarian and meat-eater) -- Simon Cursitor 08:34, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Merge into Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations; see Talk:Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations for discussion. HellaNorCal 04:02, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
 * Comment: That thought had passed through my mind as well. However, Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations is basically just a list.   Lists (stand-alone lists) says that list items should have their own articles or that it be reasonable to expect an article to be forthcoming in the future.  As this topic is not covered in relable sources, we would not be able to write an article on it. In addition, such a list may be objectionable to some as listcruft.  I would suggest that HellaNorCal, as well as User: Canaen, who I have also been talking too about these Unitarian Universalist Association-affiliate substub articles, direct their attention to improving the articles on those UUA affiliates about which reliable sources have been published, rather than trying to save substubs that basically just serve as links to the organization or turning the list of UUA organizations into a linkfarm.

 * Actually, HellaNorCal and Canaen appear to be the same person. JChap2007 16:18, 9 November 2006 (UTC)


 * CommentYes, as it stands, it is just a list. As well, several articles on that list already have articles on them. I suggest expanding the concept of the article to house content, so it is not simply a list of names. This should serve several purposes. Consolidating information, developing stubs which are not yet ready for their own articles, and making deletionists happy by only having a single article. As you have noted, JChap, CUUPs, one of the UU affiliate organizations, has an article which may have reliable sources. It is reasonable to assume that since one independent affiliate organization has been written of in reliable sources, that others may be found in the future. Closing with a note, I see both JChap and myself are posting this thrice at the three ongoing AfDs about IAOs or the UUA; perhaps this would be simpler if we simply discussed it at Talk:Unitarian Universalist Independent Affiliate organizations HellaNorCal 23:51, 9 November 2006 (UTC)
