Veteran Feminists of America

 * – ( View AfD View log  Stats )

Does not appear to be a notable organization according to Notability (organizations and companies). All coverage appears trivial. Being suckered by Borat is not enough to merit an article. – Muboshgu (talk) 23:34, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Comment: though I don't have time to do a full source search tonight... but a quick look through gnews archives shows an awful lot of mentions of this group, some of which appear to be beyond trivial. How deep have you looked through the news archives? There's some stuff from the 90's that looks like it'll probably be enough to pass the GNG.  Hopefully, I'll have time to dig up some coverage before the afd ends. Kevin Gorman (talk) 23:43, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
 * I looked through a few pages. I saw some mentions, but I thought of them as trivial, not going into depth on the organization. – Muboshgu (talk) 00:03, 20 January 2013 (UTC)

 * Keep Multiple independent sources mentioning and covering this subject, and it establishes their own notability. Kevin Rutherford (talk) 00:56, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep. Meets WP:GNG through coverage in reliable sources. Veteran Feminists for America is one of the most important extant second wave organizations in the US. Their activities are perhaps less likely to generate news coverage - mostly reunions and honoring feminist leaders with medals at galas (many of their write-ups tend to focus more on the women who are honored). Still, I'm seeing a breadth of coverage that demonstrates notability. The book Feminists Who Changed America, 1963-1975 also addresses VFA in depth.  Gobōnobō  + c 03:15, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * The East Orlando Sun source was written by the organization's VP, so not independent. The other sources provide one line mentions of the organization. I'm still not seeing it, despite the apparently developing consensus. – Muboshgu (talk) 01:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC)


 * Keep References have been beefed up and hopefully more text will follow. CarolMooreDC 03:16, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Keep, good deal of secondary source coverage, therefore notability is conferred and established. &mdash; Cirt (talk) 00:56, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
 * keep Passes WP:ORG GNG. This was actually on my to-do list of articles to rewrite! SarahStierch (talk) 17:40, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
